'Examining' the performance of SLNA midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan in the match against Hai Phong
(Baonghean.vn) - Named by the SLNA coaching staff in the starting lineup, the player born in 1994 played very hard, contributing greatly to the home team's achievement of 1 point at Lach Tray Stadium.
Because his senior Hoang Van Binh was sick, Vo Ngoc Toan was able to appear on SLNA's official roster for the second time this season.
In previous matches, the player wearing the number 9 shirt was only sent onto the field from the bench by the Nghe An team's coaching staff and often had to play in the left wing position.
Being able to return to his usual position as a central midfielder helped Vo Ngoc Toan gain more confidence in his handling of the game. During the 82 minutes on the field, the midfielder nicknamed Toan “crazy” played with all his might and passion like a warrior. This player was active and effective as a “sweeper” in the midfield area.

The following statistics are clear evidence. Before leaving the field in the 82nd minute, Vo Ngoc Toan committed 5 fouls, successfully intercepted 8 balls and penetrated the home team's penalty area once. The excellence of the player from Quynh Luu caused Hai Phong's forwards and midfields to often fall into a state of separation.
Although he has completed his defensive duties excellently, in the supporting role of attack, Vo Ngoc Toan has not shown much. The 25-year-old midfielder's long passes often have quite low accuracy. In fact, in the minutes he was on the field, Vo Ngoc Toan did not have a single shot towards goalkeeper Nguyen Van Toan's goal. This is completely understandable, because Toan plays in the position of a defensive midfielder.
Overall, Vo Ngoc Toan’s performance in the match against Hai Phong was quite impressive. SLNA’s coaching staff can rest assured with this player’s “stand-in” plan, in case Hoang Van Binh cannot play./.
