SLNA: Is 'haste' a 'waste'?
(Baonghean.vn) - Many V.League coaches were surprised when SLNA set a top 3 goal in the first year Tan Long Group took over the club, in the context of a series of other teams also sparing no money in investment.
BeforeSLNAThanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City, and Saigon all spared no expense in hiring foreign coaches and buying a series of stars, but money cannot change results. This year, Ho Chi Minh City and Saigon clubs have different ways of doing things, not putting pressure on the coaching staff and players to achieve results like in previous seasons.
Looking at others makes me think of myself
Taking over the same team as Tan Long, but Hai Phong's boss Van Tran Hoan only gave the top 5 target of V.League 2022 to the coaching staff and players. Having quality foreign players such as foreign players who have played in Vietnam for many years such as Rimario, Moses, Mpande, along with domestic players Viet Hung, Hai Huy, naturalized player Martin Lo and coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, the current V.League coach, but boss Hoan still made a quite wise decision. Hai Phong Club wants to change from a monotonous long-playing style to a short-playing style of control, small passing rather than immediate achievements. A quite professional way of playing football, suitable for the real situation.

Less than 50% of T.Binh Dinh's 14 contracts played in the match against SLNA, viewers also know the terrifying strength of this team. Looking at the way Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem substituted players and "turned the Rubik's Cube" to help the team from the port city win 2 matches in a row.Only in "Fergie Time" did people know how great Coach Huy Hoang's opponent in V.League is.

In this season's V.League, in addition to the foreign coaches of Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, HAGL, Duc Thang, Chu Dinh Nghiem, Phan Thanh Hung, Truong Viet Hoang are all rated higher than Huy Hoang. Even coach Thanh Cong, who is leading H.Ha Tinh, is also rated by experts for his achievements and experience higher than the coach of SLNA. Looking at the former SLNA player's arrangement and formation to confront Kiatisak with the national team players right on Pleiku field, it can be seen that the coach of H.Ha Tinh has a quite high level.
Meanwhile, the Vinh Stadium team is at the bottom of the rankings after 12 rounds of V.League 2021, with only 3 significant contracts Que Ngoc Hai, Dinh Hoang, Trong Hoang, but SLNA boldly declared the top 3 goal, which is surprising. The hope of the attack is placed on Olaha, a player who played 3 seasons for SLNA and only scored 18 goals, which is average for V.League foreign players.
Young teacher
In the technical cabin, not counting the language assistant, SLNA has 6 coaches. The leader is head coach Huy Hoang, who is 41 years old but has only 1 match in charge of the V.League. Assistant match analyst Xuan Hieu is not a player, and his professional experience in coaching the V.League is not more than his younger brother. The burden in the technical area falls on the shoulders of Nhu Thuat, Van Quyen, Bui Le Minh and assistant goalkeeper Duc Thang. Club Deputy Director Van Sy Hung, who had more or less a few months left to coach in the V.League, left the club early.
In fact, few clubs have arranged for a person who used to be the head coach, then technical director, to be the assistant goalkeeper for the coaching staff like SLNA is doing now. In the match against T.Binh Dinh when they lost, the TV camera showed only coach Huy Hoang standing still, looking at his watch and taking the loss alone. On social networks, not many Nghe An fans believe that Huy Hoang is capable of bringing SLNA into the top 3 of V.League 2022.
Good stone for happy people

Which position should Olaha play? |
Former Nghe An Provincial Party Secretary Le Doan Hop, during his visit to the team while still in office, advised the SLNA coaching staff and players to “Play well to make the people happy, play to win to make the people happy”. But in this specific context, perhaps the goal should be “Play well to make the people happy” before “playing to win to make the people happy” because not only Tan Long Group poured money into SLNA, but the teams Binh Dinh, Hai Phong, and Hanoi also did not hesitate to recruit players. This season, as long as the SLNA players play with their true character, that would be a great success.
