Song Lam Nghe An - worries seen from U21
(Baonghean.vn) - Witnessing the performances of coach Nguyen Dinh Dung and his team at the 2019 National U21 Qualifying Round, Nghe An fans cannot help but worry about the future of SLNA.
Up to this point, after 3 matches, U21 SLNA still has no points and is almost unable to win a ticket to the finals. In the opening match, U21 SLNA was defeated by the underrated team, U21 People's Public Security, with a score of 1-0. In the 2nd and 3rd matches, U21 SLNA was defeated by U21 Pho Hien and U21 Viettel with scores of 5-0 and 3-1 respectively.
Observing the recent matches of U21 SLNA, it can be seen that the team under coach Nguyen Dinh Dung is both weak in terms of expertise and lack of experience. They are not only inferior to their opponents in terms of skill, but also in terms of fighting spirit. This is understandable, because there are quite a few players of U21 SLNA who do not often get to play for teams in the V.League and the National First Division.

In professional football, the importance of the training academy is extremely large, greatly affecting the success and existence of every club. The source of self-trained players will provide personnel for the first team and help the club earn large sums of money through transfers. Even clubs with strong financial potential such as Man City (England), PSG (France) are also very serious about developing youth training.
