Song Lam Nghe An brings 4 foreign players to Pleiku to 'challenge' HAGL
(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of January 19, Song Lam Nghe An left for Gia Lai to have the best preparation for the match with Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 2 of V.League 2021. The Nghe team brought 4 foreign players, including 3 strikers.
In the opening match against Binh Dinh, SLNA only played with two foreign players, striker Filipe Martins and Peter Samuel. Center back Igor Jelic could not play because he did not have enough necessary training sessions while Bruno Henrique suffered a muscle strain.
Before this round, Igor Jelic and Bruno Henrique were fit and ready to play. All 4 foreign players of SLNA traveled to Pleiku with their teammates. However, SLNA's coaching staff were only allowed to register 3 players for the match and coach Quang Truong will have to consider whether to use Martins or Bruno.

Visiting HAGL, SLNA did not have the services of its mainstay central defender.Hoang Van Khanhwhen this player received a red card in the match against Binh Dinh and will be suspended for the next 2 matches. Thus, SLNA's central defender pair in this match will most likely be Igor Jelic and Thai Ba Sang.
If looking at SLNA's lineup in the opening match, SLNA's optimal lineup at this time will include goalkeeper Van Hoang, defenders Dinh Dong, Ba Sang, Igor Jelic, and Xuan Manh.
The central midfielders are Sy Sam, Dinh Chau, Dinh Tien and Phan Van Duc. The striker pair is Peter Samuel and Bruno Henrique. In addition, if they want to increase the attack, SLNA's coaching staff can completely let Sy Nam play as a right-back and Xuan Manh play as a winger.
