Song Lam Nghe An and the problem of improving away performance

Present,Lam River Nghe Anis the team with the worst away record in V.League 2024/2025. After 7 matches away from Vinh Stadium, the Nghe An team only had 3 draws and 4 losses, scoring 6 goals and conceding 15 goals. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team must urgently improve their away performance to be able to feel secure in the relegation race.

Last season, despite not playing really well, Song Lam Nghe An still had 3 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses after 13 away matches. That means, to balance the achievements in the 2023/2024 season, the Nghe team must win 3/6 remaining away matches.

To do that, first of all, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team must improve their competitive mentality. Because, in recent home matches, Song Lam Nghe An has played quite confidently to have an equal position with strong teams like Becamex Binh Duong or Hanoi Police. Therefore, if they improve their competitive mentality on away matches, the Nghe team can completely make a surprise against teams like Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong or SHB Da Nang.

Especially when Song Lam Nghe An's defense is improving day by day. The solidity of the defense will be the support for the Nghe team in away trips.

SHB Da Nang, Hong Linh Ha Tinh only scored 5 goals at home this season, Ho Chi Minh City Club is a little better with 7 goals, even The Cong Viettel only scored 9 goals after 8 matches. This is the basis for the Nghe team to limit the number of goals lost away in the remaining 6 matches.

When completing the task of tight defense, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team will be more confident in quick counter-attack situations. With Ho Khac Ngoc will be the center of the attack. The ability to escape Pressing and accurate long passes of this midfielder wearing shirt number 32 will help the Nghe team quickly change state.

However, to improve their away goalscoring record, the Nghe An team must also improve the performance of their foreign duo.Michael Olahaand Benjamin Kuku. Especially striker Michael Olaha. This striker wearing the number 7 shirt has lost the situations of acceleration and brave dribbling last season. Without these situations, Song Lam Nghe An will find it difficult to organize quick counter-attacks.

As for Benjamin Kuku, the striker wearing the number 10 shirt has done a good job of creating a wall and creating opportunities for his teammates to score. However, Benjamin Kuku's speed is not very good and he needs to be more careful in finishing situations.

In addition to the two foreign players, the above domestic players will also have to quickly move up to participate in quick counter-attacks. The good speed of Ngo Van Luong, Le Dinh Long Vu or Ho Van Cuong will help Benjamin Kuku and Michael Olaha not be alone in attacking situations.

However, the Nghe An team needs to improve the connection between foreign and domestic players to make the attacks more dangerous.

The nearly 1-month break from V.League will be an opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to hone their tactics and improve their players' performance. In addition,Nghe An football teamThere is also a test at the National Cup before marching to Thong Nhat Stadium. These are favorable factors for Song Lam Nghe An to achieve good results away from home when V.League returns./.
