SLNA 'While there is life, there is hope'
(Baonghean.vn) - The 0-2 loss at Than Quang Ninh Stadium in round 11 caused the Nghe An team to continue to sink deeper in the second half of the V.League 2020 rankings.
Up to now, SLNA is in 11th place, with 12 points in hand. The gap between the Nghe team and the 3 teams right above is respectively goal difference (Hong Linh Ha Tinh - 10th place), 1 point (SHB Da Nang - 9th place) and 2 points (Thanh Hoa - 8th place). This is a rather fragile gap, when phase 1 still has 2 more rounds to officially end.
However, having met SHB Da Nang, Thanh Hoa, and Hong Linh Ha Tinh, SLNA does not have the right to decide for themselves in the race to the Top 8 with the above opponents. Therefore, in addition to the goal of defeating both HAGL (round 12) and Hai Phong (round 13), coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team must hope that their direct opponents do not have the best results.

However, instead of waiting for their opponents to "stumble", the SLNA coaching staff and players must together be determined to overcome the "obstacles" that await them ahead.
In many aspects, the chance for Phan Van Duc and his teammates to win all 6 points against HAGL (home) and Hai Phong (away) is not small, if they play with over 100% strength and are supported by the god of luck.
Well then, let's follow the motto "while there's life, there's hope". As long as coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team don't give up, Nghe An football fans will not abandon them./.
