SLNA - SHB. Da Nang: Guests have gifts to take home?

If V.League 2020 had not been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps the home team SLNA would not have encountered as many difficulties as they are now. At that time, the spirit of the players and the SLNA coaching staff was high after the victory over Binh Duong, while SHB. Da Nang had just been defeated 4-1 by Saigon FC right at home.

Now, everything has gone in an unfavorable direction for the Vinh home team, they just lost to the new recruit Ba Ria - Vung Tau on the 11m mark and in addition to Xuan Manh who was injured before, now there are Van Khanh and Xuan Thang. Young midfielder Bui Dinh Chau also has to wear a bandage on his forehead to play in this match.

SHB. Da Nang also had to leave the National Cup before TP.HCM after a penalty shootout, but this was still a match in which coach Le Huynh Duc and his team were not at a disadvantage. The Quang Nam team recovered after a forgettable start to the V.League.

It is not difficult to see that Coach Le Huynh Duc will basically use this formation to play at Vinh Stadium in the match against the home team SLNA. Coach Le Huynh Duc has spent more than a decade leading SHB. Da Nang. He and the team at Hoa Xuan Stadium won the V-League 2009 and V-League 2012 championships, V-League 2013 runner-up and V-League 2016 third place.

But this time returning to Da Nang, coach Le Huynh Duc still could not revive the team, because the budget of the Quang Nam team is no longer as abundant as before, and the youth team is not abundant. The common point of the two teams SNLA and SHB. Da Nang is that their foreign players are quite bad. The two foreign players Tanda and Akinade of the Quang Nam team are showing quite poor images.

Tanda is the player that Thanh Hoa has eliminated and has not yet integrated with the new team. The goal scoring still depends on Ha Duc Chinh, who had to leave the field on a stretcher in the previous match. However, the doctor examined and concluded that Duc Chinh only had a slight muscle strain and was able to practice again. This player is completely capable of playing this weekend when V.League 2020 returns with matches in round 3.

But in the midfield, names like Minh Tam and Anh Tuan can overwhelm the home team's central midfielders like Van Lam, Dinh Chau and Quang Tinh. The away team will play 4-1-4-1 to take the initiative in controlling the style of play, forcing the home team to play according to their wishes. National player Anh Tuan will play the role of anchor midfielder, with his physical condition having improved a lot after injury, the Nghe An team will have a hard time.

The key to the match will be the confrontation on the left wing between Van Duc (SLNA) and Dinh Hoang (SHB. Da Nang). These are players who are not strangers to each other and if they are asked to limit their attacks to stop SLNA's striker, the home team will have a hard time. Coach Le Huynh Duc also has two other Nghe An players, Au Van Hoan and Vo Ngoc Toan, who, if they enter the field, will be able to stop SLNA's juniors from playing.

It is not difficult to see that Coach Quang Truong will use 2 foreign players in the attack, the 2 wings will be Tuan Tai, Van Duc swapping positions. The ball will be pushed out to the wing and from there it will be crossed into the central area. With goalkeeper Tuan Manh newly joining the team, this style of play will not be difficult to neutralize, because the height and ability to catch high balls of the former goalkeeper of S.Khanh Hoa have been proven.

Even the rookie Hong Linh Ha Tinh recently dared to innovate the 3-4-3 formation, but for more than 10 years, the Nghe An team's style of play has remained the same. This will make it easier for teams to come up with solutions and a professional like Le Huynh Duc will take advantage to get the first points of the 2020 V.League season./.
