SLNA "handicap" foreign players in the National Super Cup match against the V.League champion

Quang Nam, the 2017 V.League champion, is facing a big loss as they have just had to part ways with striker Claudecir in an unwilling manner. Previously, the striker of Quang Nam Club publicly announced his intention to leave because the team did not increase his salary.

At the beginning of the new season, Quang Nam FC quickly recruited striker Wander Luiz from Long An. This Brazilian striker born in 1992 has scored 5 goals for Long An in 12 matches in V.League 2017.

Also joining the Quang Nam team are defender Trinh Van Ha from B. Binh Duong and goalkeeper Tran Dinh Minh Hoang from Hue Football Club.

Thus, the Quang Nam team still has 3 foreign players to face SLNA including Thiago and naturalized player Nguyen Trung Dai Duong in the upcoming 2017 National Super Cup match at Hang Day Stadium.

On the Nghe An team side, SLNA, after saying goodbye to many players who came to try out, has just welcomed 3 more players, 1 from Brazil and 2 from Africa. All have extremely ideal physiques.

The first training session of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team in the new year took place yesterday (February 19) and was also the first test session of these 3 strikers at Vinh Stadium.

However, according to General Director Nguyen Hong Thanh, SLNA will definitely not be able to finalize foreign players and add more players before the match against Quang Nam Club on February 24. This means that SLNA will play with a handicap of foreign players against the 2017 V.League champion.

Not only that, SLNA was also forced to use reserve goalkeeper Le Van Hung because captain Nguyen Manh had just suffered a serious injury at the 2018 AFC Cup.

After the National Super Cup match, SLNA will return to Vinh Stadium to welcome Johor Darul Tazim Club from Malaysia. If the selection of foreign players takes place earlier than expected, that will be the match in which SLNA will have enough 2 foreign players to register.

If they win the 2017 National Super Cup, SLNA will receive a prize of 300 million VND, the other team will receive 200 million VND.

The match is open to the public and this confrontation will certainly receive special attention from fans of Nghe An in the North. It is known that the SLNA Fan Club has finalized the parade plan and will continue to turn Hang Day into their home stadium in the opening match of the 2018 season./.
