Song Lam Nghe An meets Hanoi Club: Faint hope
(Baonghean.vn) - Only a victory against Hanoi Club can help Song Lam Nghe An maintain hope of entering the top 8. Although knowing this is an extremely difficult task, Nghe An fans still hope that coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team will create a surprise at Hang Day Stadium.
Recently, Hanoi Club has gradually regained its form with 2 consecutive victories. Notably, in these two victories, the Capital team used a squad consisting mainly of domestic players. This proves that Hanoi's domestic force is still very high quality despite the absence of captain Van Quyet due to suspension.
First is the defense with familiar names on the field.Vietnam national teamlike Nguyen Thanh Chung, Do Duy Manh or Bui Hoang Viet Anh. These are all players with very good physique and fitness, so they are not afraid to face foreign players in the current V.League. Therefore, in the upcoming match, Olaha and Soladio will have a hard time overcoming the rocks of Hanoi Club.
However, the defense of the capital team still often reveals gaps because the full-backs are busy moving up to join the attack. That will be an opportunity for the Nghe An team to make quality counterattacks in this match. And if the strikers of Song Lam Nghe An take advantage of the opportunities they have, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team can completely leave Hang Day Stadium with a favorable result.
In the midfield, the return of midfielder Do Hung Dung is very important for the Capital team. This midfielder wearing the number 88 shirt is the heart and brain in the attacking lines of coach Bandovic Bozidar's team. Along with that is the effective support of quality players such as Van Truong, Hai Long or Vu Minh Tuan, making the midfield of Hanoi Club always highly appreciated atV.LeagueTherefore, Pham Xuan Manh and his teammates will have to try very hard if they do not want to be at a disadvantage against their colleagues on the other side of the battle line.
The attack of Hanoi FC will be the most difficult problem for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team. That is striker Pham Tuan Hai, who is in very good form this season. After 11 matches, this striker wearing the number 9 shirt has scored 4 goals and had 4 assists. The speed, technique and diverse finishing ability of this Vietnam national team player will make Que Ngoc Hai have a very hard day at work.
Besides, the new foreign soldiers ofPrime Minister's teamThe capital will also be unpredictable. These are all foreign players who are considered to be of quite high quality. Typically, striker Mirlan Murzaev, captain of the Kyrgyzstan National Team. Along with that is the new Brazilian player Herlison Caion, who has also fought quite a lot in the Thai and Malaysian national championships. However, these foreign players will need time to get used to the V.League environment.
What is quite reassuring for Nghe An fans is that in recent matches, Song Lam Nghe An's defense has played more solidly. Although they still do not have the best players in the squad, the concentration and fighting spirit have helped the Nghe An team's defense stand firm against the strong attacks in the V.League. Hopefully in the upcoming match, Song Lam Nghe An's defense will continue to have an excellent match to neutralize the strikers of Hanoi Club.
However, the record in away matches at Hang Day Stadium ofLam River Nghe AnIt is very worrying when the Nghe An team is on a 4-match losing streak. Most recently, there were two consecutive losses against Hanoi Police and Viettel Club in round 9 and round 10 of V.League 2023. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team will have to play with more than 100% of their form and luck to get a favorable result leaving Hang Day Stadium.
The match between Hanoi Club and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 17:00 on July 2, 2023 at Hang Day Stadium.
