SLNA brings freshness and passion to V-League 2022

SLNA is 1/6 teams that have played all 4 matches after round 4 of V-League 2022. Meanwhile, 5 teams played 3 matches: Viettel, Topenland Binh Dinh, Dong A Thanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City Club and Saigon FC, while Nam Dinh has only played 2 matches and especially Hanoi FC has only played 1 match since round 4. Therefore, the rankings of the teams on the V-League rankings cannot say much.

However, after the 4th round, there are still many positive things worth mentioning and discussing. In particular, SLNA is one of the teams that brings freshness to the highest tournament of Vietnamese football.

In the context of the pandemic, many places have to close stadiums, but SLNA's fan club is still the most active and enthusiastic at present. Nghe An fans "covered" Thong Nhat Stadium in the recent round 4 match and Binh Duong Stadium in the first round of V-League 2022, showing that football always has great appeal when and only when the motto "playing honestly for the people to trust, winning for the people to be happy, playing beautifully for the people to love" is well implemented as many people know and hope.

SLNA has contributed to the overall success of the tournament, at least up to this point. That is the innovation and worth waiting for V-League 2022. The Nghe An team along with the "new giants" in the top football village such as Hai Phong, T.Binh Dinh, even a poor team for a long time like Nam Dinh is showing a "change of skin". Only reality can revive morality is clearly seen in the above teams and the results of the first 4 rounds, although the rankings are temporary, the names of Hai Phong, SLNA or Topenland Binh Dinh have said it all.

National players currently playing for SLNA such as Ngoc Hai, Van Duc, Van Hoang (SLNA) are performing well in their roles and positions, completing their tasks at the club despite having spent a long time playing for the Vietnam national team. In particular, many young players have just been put on the field but have quickly gained the trust of the coaching staff and fans. Many players called up to the Vietnam U23 team have played in the V-League for the first time, such as Dinh Xuan Tien, Nguyen Van Bach, Ho Khac Luong, Tran Manh Quynh, Ho Van Cuong.

The fact that Xuan Tien replaced Van Duc, Khac Luong replaced Van Khanh, and Van Bach started in recent matches shows that SLNA's coaching staff is placing their trust in the young players. In response to that trust, these young players have entered the game and fought fairly with their seniors, more or less leaving their mark in the eyes of the coaching staff and fans.
