Striker Ngo Van LuongHe was the captain of the Song Lam Nghe An youth team competing in the Vietnam 3rd division. In this tournament, Van Luong demonstrated his leading role in the attack with 1 goal and 1 assist.

In the opening match of V.League 2023, Ngo Van Luong came on as a substitute. In the 25 minutes on the field, this player did not make much of an impression. However, his enthusiasm and determination were highly appreciated by the audience.

Vuong Van Huyis considered a promising defender of SLNA. This young player was also the best player of the Youth Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup. After being recruited to the SLNA youth team, the player from Yen Thanh has made great progress with his aggressive playing style, not afraid of collisions and having accurate crosses.

“I was lucky to be selected to join the first team. This will be an opportunity for me to continue to strive on my professional football path. Through the short time of training with my seniors, I found that the way of playing here is much harsher than when I was playing for the youth team. The ball handling requires players to be faster, more decisive, often having to make judgments and move continuously. My physical strength is not really guaranteed, I will try harder to improve this weakness and hope to be able to play for Song Lam Nghe An in the near future”. – Vuong Van Huy shared.

Through the first two matches in the V.League, the three new players promoted to the first team have not shown much. Coach Huy Hoang said: “We are gradually rejuvenating the squad and persisting in the viewpoint of using players trained by SLNA. These players, when exposed to a professional football environment, will soon mature and contribute to the team. In addition, these players will also be guided by older, experienced seniors. This will be a good condition for them to gradually adapt and gradually inherit good positions on the field.”
