Song Lam Nghe An: Worrying about national players
After the holidays, SLNA is preparing for the upcoming matches as V.League 2011 is entering the final stage. The first match is the away match at Chi Lang Stadium against the opponent who is chasing them on the rankings, SHB.Da Nang, in round 20.
Currently, the outstanding young players in SLNA's main squad are all focusing on the national teams: Van Hoan, Trong Hoang, Van Binh (Olympic Team), Dinh Dong, Ngoc Anh (National Team). Having many players participating in the National Team and Olympic Team is an honor for Nghe An and the players themselves, but a "disadvantage" for SLNA.
Waiting for players from the national teams to return, SLNA has just assembled a team to practice.
While other teams have full squads and are practicing hard to prepare for the next matches in the V.League, SLNA is "sitting around doing nothing" due to lack of players. Not only that, SLNA's coaching staff is also worried because many of their players are in the national team. If they are unlucky enough to get injured during national duty, it will be difficult for SLNA to find suitable replacements when the V.League is entering the final stage.
Another problem is that when they return from the national teams, these key players no longer have time to rest but are forced to rush into training and competing immediately, so it is inevitable that they will be "overloaded" and their performance will decline. As in the case of Kavin at the beginning of the season, when he was playing very impressively for SLNA, the player
Therefore, seeing Trong Hoang wearing the captain's armband of the Vietnam Olympic team "fighting right and left" against the opponent of the Saudi Arabia Olympic team in the match yesterday afternoon, all Nghe An fans were proud, but the SLNA coaching staff was worried because they were afraid he would "get hit" by the opponent.
With only 7 more rounds until V.League 2011 ends, fans hope that the Nghe An player can maintain his form after returning from the national team to help SLNA conquer the V.League Cup after 10 years of waiting.
