Song Lam Nghe An vs Hoang Anh Gia Lai: The order to win

It is a fact that the playing style of the Nghe An team is having quite positive changes. In the last two rounds, the team ofCoach Huy Hoangare the ones who create a better game than their opponents.

However, efficiency is what the Nghe An team is lacking at the moment. After two matches against Becamex Binh Duong and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Song Lam players have created a total of 44 shots towards the opponent's goal but only 11 shots were on target. It is clear that Soladio, Olaha and their teammates need to adjust their "aim" to bring goals to the Nghe An team.

In the match against Nam Dinh Blue Steel, due to unfavorable weather, coach Huy Hoang's team used a lot of early crosses, making the Nghe An team's attacks on the sidelines less dangerous. With individuals like Trong Hoang, Ho Van Cuong, Olaha or Tran Dinh Tien, Song Lam Nghe An can completely coordinate well down the sideline and then cross inside. This is something they did quite well in the match against Becamex Binh Duong in round 5.

Especially when the opponent Hoang Anh Gia Lai often uses the 3-5-2 formation this season. With the formation of 3 central defenders spread across, the two wings will be the weak point of the mountain town team every time they push the formation up. Besides, the physique of Hoang Anh Gia Lai's defensive players is quite modest. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An players can completely make a difference from the flank attacks and set pieces.

However, Hoang Anh Gia Lai's attack will be a formidable threat to Song Lam Nghe An. After 6 matches, coach Kiatisuk's team has scored 9 goals and is one of the teams with the most goals in V.League.

The team from the mountain town uses a fairly flexible short and medium combination style of play with the leading duo Chau Ngoc Quang and Tran Minh Vuong. While midfielder Chau Ngoc Quang is leading the scoring list of Hoang Anh Gia Lai with 3 goals, Minh Vuong is the inspiration in the attacking phases of the team from the mountain town. After 6 matches, the midfielder wearing the number 8 shirt has 1 goal and 3 assists. It can be said that Minh Vuong is the most prominent star of Hoang Anh Gia Lai at the moment after the departure of Cong Phuong, Van Toan and Xuan Truong.

However, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team will certainly not let this duo operate freely. The duo Pham Xuan Manh andDinh Xuan Tienwill do their best to limit the danger of the duo Chau Ngoc Quang and Tran Minh Vuong. In particular, Manh Kalou often plays very well when facing the team from the mountain town and hopes the next match will be no exception.

Along with that is the requirement for high concentration from the Nghe An team's defense. The Song Lam Nghe An defense may have played well for almost the entire match, but just one moment of lapse in concentration will cost the whole team. However, it seems that coach Huy Hoang's students have not learned the hard lessons despite having paid a very high price in the last 6 rounds. And in the upcoming match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai, just one mistake can make all efforts go down the drain.

Victory is probably the only goal of coach Huy Hoang and his team in this match and only victory can bring victory.Lam River Nghe Antemporarily escape the crisis. Hopefully the Nghe team will stand up in time to have an excellent match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
