Song Lam Nghe An: Will changing generals change fate?
(Baonghean.vn) - Acting Head Coach Nguyen Huy Hoang will have his debut match in his new position in the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Thanh Hoa, taking place at 5:00 p.m. today, May 2.
Last season, before entering the North Central derby with Song Lam Nghe An in round 4 of V.League 2020, the Thanh team decided to appoint coach Nguyen Thanh Cong as "captain". And coincidentally, Song Lam Nghe An also said goodbye to coach Ngo Quang Truong right before the away match against Thanh Hoa in round 12 of phase 1.V.League 2021.

The match between the two teams took place nearly a year ago (June 12, 2020), ending in a 0-0 draw. That was also Thanh Hoa's first point under coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, creating a "springboard" for Hoang Dinh Tung and his teammates to achieve positive results in the following matches. It can be said that the "change of general" has helped Thanh Hoa "change its fortunes". A timely and reasonable decision by the Thanh team's Board of Directors.

The situation of Song Lam Nghe An is now even more dire than Thanh Hoa. After a series of poor matches and causing the team to fall to the bottom of the rankings in the first phase of V.League 2021, Coach Ngo Quang Truong submitted his resignation to the SLNA Board of Directors and immediately received approval. Taking over the "hot seat" left by Coach Ngo Quang Truong is his assistantNguyen Huy Hoang.
Thus, the first match of Song Lam Nghe An under the leadership of coach Nguyen Huy Hoang is the match against Thanh Hoa, which will take place at 5:00 p.m. today, May 2. Similar to Thanh football fans nearly a year ago, Nghe football fans also hope that the saying "change generals, change luck" will come true for coach Nguyen Huy Hoang and his team and they will win at least 1 point in the North Central derby with Thanh Hoa.

However, in many respects,Lam River Nghe Anare somewhat inferior to coach Petrovic's team. In addition to the home field advantage, the Thanh team also has a fairly complete force, while the Nghe team does not have the services of captain Hoang Van Khanh, Nguyen Sy Nam, Dang Van Lam... In addition, Thanh Hoa's form is also quite high, even though they have just lost 2 consecutive matches against Dak Lak (0 - 3) and HAGL (1 - 2).
Therefore, one of the reasons for Phan Van Duc and his teammates to believe in a favorable result against Thanh Hoa is the fulfillment of the saying "change of general, change of luck", which often happens in football. Who knows, in a more disadvantageous position, Song Lam Nghe An will be the ones to win the North Central derby this afternoon./.
