War win carry sign un practice body
The 1-0 victory against Hai Phong at Vinh Stadium is clear evidence of this change. Against an opponent led by coach Chu Dinh Nghiem – a team with extensive experience in the V.League – SLNA did not choose a hurried style of play but instead deployed a solid game plan, maintaining a reasonable team formation and patiently waiting for opportunities.
The decisive goal came at the beginning of the second half, when striker Dale Moore capitalized on a mistake by the Hai Phong defense to score the only goal of the match. However, looking at the bigger picture, it wasn't just a moment of individual brilliance, but the result of a well-planned pressing and organized game plan by the home team.
In their last three victories, SLNA didn't score many goals but showed a clear improvement in their defensive organization and ability to maintain the tempo of the game. This stability helped the team from Nghe An province secure all three points against strong opponents in the V.League.
"The spirit of Art" has been revived.
Song Lam Nghe An has long been known as a team with a strong identity, characterized by disciplined play, perseverance, and an unyielding fighting spirit. Despite facing numerous difficulties, inconsistent form, and increasing pressure in the early stages of the season, the "Nghe An spirit" has remained their foundation, helping them stand firm and gradually improve their performance. In recent matches, it's evident that the SLNA players have displayed greater confidence and determination. Fierce tackles, tenacious defense, and an unyielding spirit have brought back the familiar image of the yellow-shirted team.
At the heart of this transformation is coach Van Sy Son. The coach from Nghe An province is building a playing style based on tactical discipline and team cohesion. SLNA isn't overly complicated in terms of tactics, but they organize their formations tightly and make good use of counter-attacking opportunities – an approach that suits their current squad.
Recent matches have shown that SLNA's core structure is gradually taking shape. The defense is playing more solidly, the midfield maintains a balance between tackling and organizing play, while the attack is starting to show positive signs. The duo of Michael Olaha and Dale Moore are showing increasingly clear chemistry. With his 1.85m height and finishing ability in the penalty area, Dale Moore is gradually asserting his role as the team's main striker. Two goals in the last three rounds are proof of the Trinidad & Tobago striker's increasingly good integration into the V.League. In addition, the addition of striker Carlos Fortes is also seen as a step to increase squad depth. Internal competition helps maintain motivation for positions on the field – a very important factor in a long and unpredictable season.
