Song Lam Nghe An: Olaha alone is not enough
(Baonghean.vn) - According to information, the negotiation process between the Nghe An team and striker Olaha's representative is going very smoothly. If nothing changes, the player born in 1997 will return to play for SLNA for the rest of the season.
First of all, it must be admitted thatOlahais a talented player, even among the top class among the foreign players currently fighting inV.LeagueThe Nigerian striker's performances at SLNA and Hapoel Tel Aviv Club (Israel) are clear proof.

In addition, with 3 consecutive seasons wearing SLNA's shirt (2017 - 2019), Olaha will quickly integrate into the "new but old" environment at Vinh Stadium as well as in the most prestigious tournament of Vietnamese football. This is one of the important bases for SLNA's Board of Directors to recruit Olaha.
In theory, Olaha is the "savior" that the Nghe An team most wants to possess in the current situation. Not only because Bruno Henrique, Peter Samuel and Felipe Martins do not meet the requirements, but also because Olaha is very talented and very suitable for the Vinh team's playing style.

However, from theory to practice is a huge gap. There is no guarantee that Olaha will immediately shine to help SLNA escape the crisis. It is worth mentioning that the 24-year-old player also has shortcomings in his playing style, especially in his effectiveness in finishing.
According to statistics, in 3 seasons with SLNA competing in the V.League arena, Olaha only scored 18 goals after 76 matches (average 0.2 goals/match). These are enough numbers to prove that the Nigerian player is not a pure striker, a "classic number 9" type.
Unfortunately, SLNA is in dire need of a striker with a "killer instinct". Because the main reason why the Nghe An team played so poorly in the first phase of V.League 2021 is the harmlessness of the attack. Except for Phan Van Duc, the remaining faces are just disappointments.
Therefore, the appearance of Olaha will contribute to making SLNA's attack stronger, but that is still not enough. Therefore, in parallel with bringing Olaha back to Vinh Stadium, SLNA's coaching staff must awaken Bruno Henrique's "killer instinct" or recruit a few more excellent strikers./.
