Song Lam Nghe An and the problem of meeting The Cong Viettel

In this match,Lam River Nghe Anwill be without midfielder Nguyen Quang Vinh due to suspension. This makes the Nghe An team's already weak midfield even weaker.

The most notable factor in the midfield of the Nghe An team at the moment is Dinh Xuan Tien. However, the physical condition of this midfielder born in 2003 is still not really good. Dinh Xuan Tien has not had a complete match in the past 7 matches. Therefore, the midfield problem will be a headache for coach Phan Nhu Thuat in the upcoming match.

Especially when the Army team has a strong midfield. With Nguyen Duc Chien, Wesley Nata and Khuat Van Khang, it will be difficult for Song Lam Nghe An to have a good position in the upcoming match.

Therefore, the tight defense and quick counterattack will still be the main style of play of the Nghe team in this match. And Song Lam Nghe An must have a scientific defense if they want to win points in this match.

Dong A Thanh Hoa is an example for Nghe An team to learn from. The attack of The Cong Viettel was completely helpless against the Thanh team for the entire 45 minutes of the second half despite having one more player. Reasonable formation distance and the support of the forward players were the factors that helped Dong A Thanh Hoa stand firm against the pressure of the army team.

In the upcoming match, the key players in Song Lam Nghe An's defense will still be goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet, center back Le Nguyen Hoang, Zaracho or the full back duo Ho Van Cuong and Vuong Van Huy. These players have played very hard but still do not have the best cover and support for each other.

This is expected to be a difficult and arduous match for the defense.Nghe An football teamTherefore, the players in Song Lam Nghe An's defense will have to maintain their concentration throughout the 90 minutes to help their team stand firm against The Cong Viettel's attacks.

After a tight defense, Song Lam Nghe An can think about quick counterattacks. In the last 2 matches, Song Lam Nghe An has made good use of counterattacks to score against The Cong Viettel. Therefore, in the upcoming match, counterattacks will still be the basis for the Nghe team to score goals.

However, in recent matches, it seems that the players in the Song Lam Nghe An defense have not been calm enough to execute accurate counter-attacks. Especially in the context of being constantly pressured by the opponent. Therefore, the Nghe An team needs to improve the transition in the next match to increase the effectiveness of counter-attacks.

In addition, physical weakness will still be a problem to be noted in the upcoming match. Of course, this problem cannot be solved overnight but it requires a long process. Therefore, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team needs to have calculations to distribute physical strength reasonably. It may be a lulling style of play for most of the time but be ready to exert strength at decisive moments to deliver fatal blows to finish off the opponent.

1 win and 1 draw in last season's previousViettel Sports Clubwill be an encouragement for the fighting spirit of Song Lam Nghe An players. And if they have the enthusiastic support of the home audience, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team can absolutely get a good result against the Army team.

Hopefully, Song Lam Nghe An will have an excellent match at home to have a beautiful farewell to 2024.
