(Baonghean.vn) - Starting from November 12, coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team have gathered again to prepare for the 2021 season. What do the Nghe An team need to do in the near future?

Build gameplay

Like many recent seasons, SLNA's playing style in the 2020 season was quite monotonous and ineffective. The Nghe An team relied too much on the talent and enthusiasm of key midfielder Phan Van Duc. SLNA's attacks often had to go through a "transit station" named Duc "tiger" and partly foreign player Peter Onyekachi.

Early in the season, when opponents have not yet discovered the problem,SLNAhas achieved very positive results. Specifically, a series of 5 unbeaten matches (from round 1 to round 5) atV.League 2020However, over time, the shortcomings in SLNA's playing style were noticed and thoroughly exploited by opponents. Phan Van Duc was tightly blocked, SLNA's quick attacks and counterattacks became harmless.

At the end of the first phase of V.League 2020, SLNA was among the teams with the worst attack with 10 goals. It is enough to see how bad SLNA's attack with Phan Van Duc, Ho Tuan Tai, Peter Onyekachi... was in finding a way into the opponent's goal. That is the reason why coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team had to compete in group B of the second phase, the group competing for relegation.

To avoid "repeating the same mistakes" in the 2020 season, the SLNA Coaching Board must build a diverse and effective playing style for the team, with different backup plans. To do so,Coach Ngo Quang Truongand colleagues must have quality players in the squad, because "no flour, no mortar". Only mePhan Van Ducis not enough for a "revolution" in SLNA's playing style in the near future.

Strengthening the force

Up to now, the Nghe An team has only successfully retained goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang and central defender and captain Hoang Van Khanh. However, they have also just lost two key strikers,Ho Tuan Tai, Felipe Martins went to Ho Chi Minh City Club and DNH Nam Dinh. Thus, the difference between SLNA's arrivals and departures is a negative number.

According to the plan, SLNA's Board of Directors will work with some players whose contracts have just expired, such as goalkeeper Le Van Hung, defender Tran Dinh Dong, midfielder Nguyen Phu Nguyen and especially the foreign duo Gustavo Santos - Peter Onyekachi. In addition, the Vinh team will also have to quickly find a foreign striker to replace the position that Felipe Martins has just left.

Seeing their team "sitting still" in recruiting new players for the new season, Nghe An football fans cannot help but feel worried and uneasy. Especially the opponents in V.League 2021 are taking turns owning quite famous stars. Hong Linh Ha Tinh has added Truong Trong Sang, Tran Phi Son and Giang Tran Quach Tan; SHB Da Nang has added Rafaelson, Nguyen Huy Hung, Hedibo Gustavo...

Certainly, Thanh Hoa, DNH Nam Dinh and Hai Phong will spend heavily in the transfer market, after the "near-death" season. At this time, Thanh Hoa has extended the contracts with Hoang Vu Samson, Louis Epassi and welcomed the return of "old man" Le Quoc Phuong; DNH Nam Dinh has also just added striker Felipe Martins from SLNA; Hai Phong has also recalled Jeremie Lynch from Than Quang Ninh...

Therefore, if they do not add more quality faces and a reasonable playing style, SLNA will face countless difficulties in the 2021 season. It is known that the Nghe An team is considering the option of recruitingstriker Michael Olaha, a player who played very successfully for SLNA in the period 2017 - 2019.
