Song Lam Nghe An vs. SHB Da Nang: A New Year's gift.

For a long time,SHB Da NangSong Lam Nghe An has always been a formidable opponent for them. Especially since the team from the Han River is led by the talented and experienced coach Phan Thanh Hung. Therefore, this will be a match where coach Huy Hoang will need to employ many strategic tactics to secure a victory.

Most likely, in this match, the coach from Nghia Dan will use the familiar 3-5-2 formation from last season. The three central defenders for the Nghe An team will be captain Que Ngoc Hai, new signing Vytas Gaspuitis, and young central defender Ho Khac Luong. These central defenders will complement each other to create a quality defense.

On the flanks will be Tran Dinh Hoang and Ho Van Cuong, currently the best full-backs of Song Lam Nghe An. This duo possesses good attacking capabilities; however, Dinh Hoang and Van Cuong will need to pay special attention to Dinh Duy and Phi Hoang of SHB Da Nang. These two players have performed very well in matches against Song Lam Nghe An this season.V.League2022.

In midfield, Mạnh “Kalou” will play the deepest role for the Nghệ An team, tasked with recovering and distributing the ball. Meanwhile, the creative duties will be entrusted to the veteran and young duo of Trọng Hoàng and Đinh Xuân Tiến. The experience of former national team player Trọng Hoàng combined with the youthful energy of Đinh Xuân Tiến is key to helping Sông Lam Nghệ An dominate the game against the team from Sông Hàn.

The attacking line of the Nghe An team will be the biggest unknown in this match. How will new signing Jordy Soladio perform and how will he coordinate with Olaha? This will be one of the things that Nghe An fans are most interested in in Song Lam Nghe An's opening match.

Against a SHB Da Nang team playing with a low defensive line, waiting for counter-attacking opportunities, the two strikers of the Nghe An team will not have many chances in this match. Therefore, Olaha and Soladio must make the most of every opportunity to make a difference. The team from the Han River will be a high-quality test for Song Lam Nghe An's Belgian newcomer.

In addition, set pieces will also be one of the attacking options that coach Huy Hoang will use in this match. With Dinh Xuan Tien's fairly good free-kick ability combined with the ideal height of Vytas Gaspuitis, Jordy Soladio and Michael Olaha, Song Lam Nghe An will cause many difficulties for SHB Da Nang's defense in dead-ball situations.

On the other side of the pitch, coach Phan Thanh Hung will also not want to leave Vinh Stadium empty-handed. SHB Da Nang Club will still start with their familiar 4-3-3 formation and proactively play defensively, waiting for opportunities for quick counter-attacks.

Luong Duy Cuong, Lieu Quang Vinh, and Mauricio Pinto will form the defensive shield in front of goalkeeper Phan Van Bieu. This will be a tough day's work for the Song Han team's defense, as they will have to face the speedy attacking duo of Song Lam Nghe An and the trouble posed by the Nghe An team's set pieces.

Up front, captain Hoang Minh Tam will still be the heart of the Han River team's playing style. The transitional passes of this 32-year-old player will be key in the counter-attacks of coach Phan Thanh Hung's team. However, given his age, he will need a lot of support from his teammates, especially when facing young and strong players like Dinh Xuan Tien and Pham Xuan Manh.

The attacking line will be the area where Da Nang fans feel most secure right now. With Phan Van Long, Pham Dinh Duy, Nguyen Phi Hoang, Olsen Nicholas John, and Rodrigo Da Silva Dias, coach Phan Thanh Hung has many options to build a quality attacking line. The speed and technique of Dinh Duy and Phi Hoang, combined with the strength of Rodrigo Dias, will ensure that the Nghe An team's defense will not have a single day of rest.

Given the importance of this opening match, it will be a fierce and difficult game for Song Lam Nghe An. However, coach Huy Hoang and his team will take to the field with the highest determination to secure a victory as a New Year's gift for their hometown fans.
