SLNA is not easy to walk around Nha Trang beach city

(Baonghean.vn) - Hosts Sanna Khanh Hoa and SLNA are both teams that have not added any new players after round 11 of the V-League. In addition, the playing style of coach Vo Dinh Tan has many similarities with the Nghe An team. Therefore, coach Quang Truong's trip to Nha Trang becomes unpredictable.

Not having much money, after the departure of defender Thanh Tuan, Sanna Khanh Hoa only had the addition of Ut Cuong and midfielder Duy Thanh (HAGL). A series of young faces such as Tan Tai, Quoc Chi, Hoai An... after a challenging season in V-League were given important responsibilities.

Coach Vo Dinh Tan has wanted to invite midfielder Le Tan Tai, a son of his homeland who is currently playing for B.Binh Duong, to join the team to take charge of the midfield. Due to financial difficulties, the 32-year-old midfielder has not been able to return home and Sanna Khanh Hoa had to accept and play whatever is available.

Therefore, they started off as shaky as SLNA, losing 3 consecutive matches against Than QN, FLC Thanh Hoa and SHB. Da Nang had to wait until round 4 against HN.T&T for the boys of Pho Bien to get their first 3 points.

While many teams choose to have 2 foreign players in the attack, with the philosophy of "not losing before our team scores" of coach Vo Dinh Tan, for many years Sanna Khanh Hoa has played with 1 foreign center back and 1 foreign striker. After V-League 2015, center back Santos was injured, Sanna Khanh Hoa signed a contract with Chaher Zarour, this center back is a French national born in 1983, who has just played in the French second division.

This 1.90 m tall foreign player has faced Oliver Giroud (Arsenal) and Bafétimbi Gomis (Swansea) so he has integrated quite quickly. Because Chaher Zarour has a very intelligent, calm playing style and is quite effective in both defending with his feet and head, Baba Salia and Odat will have difficulty approaching Sanna Khanh Hoa's goal.

Meanwhile, foreign player Uche Iheruome also scored 6/13 goals for the coastal city team in the context of not having a midfielder to lead the way. Another strength of Sanna Khanh Hoa is their physical strength, in the midfield area they also have 2 extremely tough players, Tan Tai and Lam Ti Phong.

Experts assess that the home team Sanna Khanh Hoa has many similarities from the technical bench to the players on the field, mainly relying on youth, average quality foreign players, simple playing style, no real "dealer". Sanna Khanh Hoa plays football mainly based on spirit rather than organizing methodical moves, so they can "go crazy" if they are in form and vice versa.

Most recently, in round 11 of V-League 2015, they just "beat up" the young HAGL team 4-1, although Dong Trieu was the one who opened the score very early for the team from the mountain town from a very beautiful free kick. Watching the home team play, we saw that Sanna Khanh Hoa's left wing was very strong with the mobility of Tan Dien (39- S.KH). The ball from this wing was continuously fed to Uche Iheruome, in addition to his ability to operate independently, this player is also very good at free kicks.

Surely SLNA's central defenders Minh Duc and Ngoc Hai must have watched very carefully the situation where 3 defenders and the long arms of goalkeeper To Vinh Loi (HAGL) still lost to Uche Iheruome in the aerial ball dispute.

Without much ambition to climb higher, Sanna Khanh Hoa is mentally comfortable when welcoming the Nghe An team. Especially when they have just re-signed contracts with key players Van Vu, midfielder Tan Tai, Quoc Chi, goalkeeper Tuan Manh, striker Uche... until 2018 - 2019. Coach Vo Dinh Tan said that the two teams have similar player quality and similar playing style, but with home field advantage, Sanna Khanh Hoa is confident that they will get points, even 3 points in this match.

In fact, SLNA is not too worried about playing away games when it is expected that about 3,000 spectators from Nghe An province in the South will come to Nha Trang to cheer. What coach Quang Truong worries about the most is that after breaks to focus on the national team, Nghe An players often have to run in a few matches.
