(Baonghean.vn) - In recent matches, foreign player Olaha has been showing quite disappointing performance, greatly affecting the performance of the Nghe An team.

Since the first leg of V.League 2019 and before, Olaha has always been one of SLNA's most impressive players. The talent and importance of the Nigerian striker to the Vinh team is immense. The 2017 National Cup championship and the 4th place in V.League 2018 of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team are largely due to the player wearing the number 7 shirt. According to experts, Olaha is in the TOP of the best foreign players in V.League today.

In the first 6 rounds of V.League 2019, the 22-year-old striker scored 3 goals and 1 assist. However, after scoring against SHB Da Nang in round 6 until now (13 matches), Olaha has only scored 1 more goal (SLNA - HAGL match: 3 - 0). At the moment, the Nigerian foreign player is going through a series of 6 consecutive "goalless" matches (rounds 14 - 19). Witnessing Olaha's recent performances, Nghe An fans cannot help but feel disappointed and worried.

It seems that the player wearing the number 7 jersey has lost his enthusiasm, passion and sharpness. In recent matches, Olaha has been playing sluggishly and incomprehensibly, far from what he used to show in SLNA's shirt.

It seems that after being “offered” by the famous Israeli football team Hapoel Tel Aviv, Olaha has been distracted. Some experts and fans from Nghe An believe that the player born in 1997 is deliberately “holding on” to wait for the day to leave Vinh Stadium.

It is not known how things turned out, but the story of Olaha losing his form is completely correct. The player wearing the number 7 shirt played poorly, causing the Nghe An team to receive quite disappointing results. The 3-1 victory over Viettel was only the first victory of Tran Nguyen Manh and his teammates in the second leg of V.League 2019.

And in that victory, Olaha also did not show much. Therefore, it is not surprising that SLNA is the team with the second worst scoring record in V.League 2019, up to this point (20 goals).

If Olaha continues to play poorly, it will be difficult for the Nghe An team to finish with a high position at the end of the season. It seems that Olaha's performance "problem" is extremely difficult for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his colleagues./.
