SLNA - Binh Dinh: Not easy, but the home team will win

Last year, with a budget of only 10 billion VND, it seemed that Binh Dinh football would say goodbye to the game. However, Binh Duong loaned young players and then Mr. Duc promised to create conditions for 8 players to come to Binh Dinh to play, giving Binh Dinh football a chance to revive.

Chance of Revival

Seeing Dinh Thanh Binh, Luong Hoang Nam and HAGL players appear in Binh Dinh, it seemed like good news had come. But when HAGL suddenly withdrew its troops, did not continue to send new soldiers to Binh Dinh and Hung Thinh Group appeared, the fans of the land of Vo were divided into two factions arguing about the future of the team.

Receiving the team from the beginning of the year, Hung Thinh Group invested enthusiastically, the team's coaching staff has made great efforts to complete the preparation stage with the spirit of prioritizing players from Binh Dinh. The most impressive are those who have roots and were trained in Binh Dinh and accepted to return, including a few names such as Huynh Van Thanh, Le Hoang Thien, Phan Duc Le...

Head of the delegation Nguyen Cong Tam said: “Our goal is to build a team with local identity. Currently, there are still some Binh Dinh players with good skills such as U.23 Vietnam players Ho Tan Tai (Becamex Binh Duong), Cao Van Trien (Sai ​​Gon), Ngo Quang Huy (Quang Nam)... who are still under contract so we cannot invite them back. In the future, we will persist with this strategy to revive Quy Nhon Stadium.”

The reason Hung Thinh Corporation chose Coach Duc Thang is because in addition to being one of the coaches with the highest qualifications in Vietnam (FIFA Pro), he also had the chance to bring Hanoi B (now Saigon team - PV) to play in V-League 2016. Coach Duc Thang said that the time he led Hanoi B was very carefully prepared, from September 2014 to April 2015, which is considered longer than the present.

Through personal relationships, coach Duc Thang borrowed Xuan Kien and Huu Thang from Viettel Club, and convinced goalkeeper Hoang Dinh Minh Hoang and Le Hoang Thien when they were preparing to renew their contracts with Quang Nam and Ho Chi Minh City Club.

Binh Dinh is considering the foundation for professional football, Hung Thinh Group is proposing to request or lease land for a long term of 30-50 years to build a football complex with 2 standard football fields and housing for athletes. Before coming to Vinh to compete, the team had 2 practice matches with Binh Dinh U19 team, the team from Vo land also had 2 friendly matches with Khanh Hoa youth team (playing in the 2020 National Second Division) and Quang Nam Club (playing in V-League).

It can be seen that after more than 4 months of training, Binh Dinh shows that there is not too big a gap with SLNA. Van Hieu, Duc Le, Hoang Thien have guided their juniors to play with style. Unfortunately, in the match with SLNA, Binh Dinh will most likely not have the services of players: Hoang Thien, Huu Dinh and Van Dieu, due to injury. Binh Dinh's goal is to compete for a promotion spot with Khanh Hoa, Can Tho, Pho Hien, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, not to defeat SLNA.

Not ambitious to go deep into the National Cup, but with his personality, Coach Duc Thang will not let his colleague Quang Truong win easily. Having up to 8 different players injured including Phan Van Duc, Pham Xuan Manh, Nguyen Quang Tinh, Vuong Quoc Trung... can easily make Ho Tuan Tai "starve for the ball" because up to now, SLNA still does not have a conductor capable enough to lead the game.

This is the match that SLNA wants to let Nghe An audiences know that Vinh Stadium has been renovated, the players are ready for a V.League 2020 competition under new regulations. The audience must wear masks when coming to the stadium, but if they win, everyone will still be much more excited. It is not an easy match, but SLNA has a 55% chance of winning against the first-class team Binh Dinh.
