SLNA - Ho Chi Minh City Club: A party of reunion and farewell
(Baonghean.vn) - At 5pm on October 8, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will have their final match of the 2018 season, against Ho Chi Minh City Club. First of all, it must be affirmed that the result of this match will not affect SLNA's position on the rankings.
At the end of round 25, the Nghe An team won 39 points and ranked 4th. They are 4 points ahead of the 5th-placed team - Than Quang Ninh, and 4 points behind the 3rd-placed team - FLC Thanh Hoa. Therefore, no matter what result coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team get against Ho Chi Minh City Club, they will not be able to change the 4th position they are holding.
Meanwhile, with 27 points, Ho Chi Minh City FC has officially stayed in the league. However, being only 1 point behind the teams above such as SHB Da Nang and Saigon FC (both with 28 points), the chance of entering the TOP 10 of coach Miura and his team is not small. Therefore, the away team will fight with all their might to get their first victory at Vinh Stadium, after 3 times having to return empty-handed.

Nguyen Huu Thang (President of Ho Chi Minh City Club), Tran Phi Son, Au Van Hoang, Vu Quang Nam... on the away team will have the opportunity to reunite with their students and former teammates at SLNA. Nguyen Sy Nam, Le Manh Dung... will also meet their former teammates at Ho Chi Minh City Club. Although they still have a strong bond with each other, the competition between SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City Club will not lack fierceness and excitement.
Don’t forget, at the end of the 2018 season, the contracts between Que Ngoc Hai, Pham Manh Hung, Nguyen Sy Nam, Ngo Xuan Toan, Dau Thanh Phong, Cao Xuan Thang, Ho Sy Sam… with the Nghe An team will expire. Surely, Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates will play with more than 100% of their ability and spirit in the last match in the SLNA shirt. Both showing love and gratitude to their hometown team, to Nghe An fans, and “Pro” themselves to other teams.

Fans of Nghe An also have the same feeling. Besides the joy of witnessing the “return” of idols like Nguyen Huu Thang, Tran Phi Son…, they also have to sadly say goodbye to some other players like Que Ngoc Hai, Pham Manh Hung…
In short, the result of the match between SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City Club is not the most important or most interesting thing. Simply, this is the party of the people of Nghe An./.
