SLNA - Hai Phong: 'Waiting for news' from the goal

(Baonghean.vn) - In the match at Vinh Stadium, if Nguyen Manh keeps a clean sheet, he will be in the top 3, and if Hai Phong goalkeeper Vu Hai cannot play, defender Trinh Van Loi will put on his gloves and stand in goal..

In fact, the match between SLNA and Hai Phong has a lot to watch because the away team still has names like Fagan, Stevens or simply the return of Vuong Bao Trung, Dinh Bao - players from Nghe An.

But perhaps the Vinh Stadium audience will wait to see if defender Trinh Van Loi of the away team can catch the ball better than Ngoc Hai - once the "reluctant goalkeeper" of the Vietnam team. According to goalkeeper coach Nguyen Duc Canh of Hai Phong, the defender born in 1995, who is 1.79m tall, is not too bad at catching the ball.

Launch impressions

Having joined Hai Phong for several years, Phan Dinh Vu Hai - a goalkeeper from Ha Tinh, born in 1994, was only able to put on his gloves to start in round 21 of V.League 2017, when hosting Ho Chi Minh City Club.

Hai Phong is currently facing a goalkeeper crisis.After the incident of being assaulted by assistant coach Sy Manh, number 1 goalkeeper Van Lam was transferred to Hanoi for injury treatment and it is not known when he will return. Substitute Van Phong was called up to start and has played quite well in 3 consecutive matches.

However, bad luck in goal for the Hai Phong team still haunts coach Truong Viet Hoang and his team. While practicing, the goalkeeper born in 1987 suddenly suffered a serious injury and is expected to be out for the rest of the season.

The “god-given” opportunity came to reserve goalkeeper number 3 Phan Dinh Vu Hai and he had an impressive debut for the Hai Phong fans, coordinating effectively with the defense and making no mistakes. The first 90 minutes of professional play in his life made Vu Hai quite proud, successfully blocking shots from Da Sylva and Victor.

A sports newspaper even included Vu Hai in the list of the best players of round 21 of V.League 2017 because he played an important role in Hai Phong's 4-1 victory and the goal conceded was not Vu Hai's fault.

Few people knew that Vu Hai had unfortunately suffered a minor injury in the second half. But because the home team had no reserve goalkeeper, he had to grit his teeth and play until the end of the match even though defender Trinh Van Loi was ready. In the end, the heavens did not disappoint. The last 30 minutes passed smoothly with the goal of the Hai Phong team.

Hai Phong is 5 points and 2 places ahead of SLNA on the rankings, both teams do not have many goals left in V.League 2017, so this promises to be an open match. The away team is known for being tough, and in this situation, they will be even tougher to protect the only goalkeeper Vu Hai. Naturalized player Le Van Phu will be wary of Phi Son, a player who has been in good form recently.

Meanwhile, SLNA’s defense, which has kept a clean sheet in four matches, will be tested against the “double-barreled cannon” Fagan and Stevens of the away team. Full-back Anh Hung is also very lucky to score goals when facing his hometown team.

It is very likely that veteran players Minh Chau and Phung Van Nhien will be put on the field by coach Truong Viet Hoang to strengthen the defense from a distance.

In goal, goalkeeper Vu Hai on his journey to assert himself or Nguyen Manh on his journey to find himself will score points in the eyes of the audience, we still have to wait. But surely this will be a good match between two opponents with many fates.
