Song Lam Nghe An and new hopes when the V.League transfer market opens?
The mid-season transfer market of V.League 2024/2025 is expected to open from January 20, 2025 and end on March 12, 2025. This will be the necessary time for Song Lam Nghe An to supplement and replace both domestic and foreign players.
Song Lam Nghe An has not played well in the past 9 rounds and the Nghe An team needs a boost in terms of personnel to achieve better results in the remaining stages of the season.
Although the players tried their best, their weaknesses in experience and physical strength made them lose.Lam River Nghe Anhave not been able to win in the last 9 matches. Therefore, the Nghe An team needs to add quality new players to compensate for these weaknesses.

First of all, it is the replacement of foreign players. It must be affirmed that central defender Sebastián Zaracho has not had good performances in the past matches. This contributes to making Song Lam Nghe An's defense one of the worst in V.League (16 goals conceded after 9 matches).
It can be said that Sebastián Zaracho's time at Song Lam Nghe An is running out. The Paraguayan center back only has 2-3 matches left to prove himself. If his performances in these matches do not improve, Sebatian Zaracho will be the name to say goodbye soon.
The hero Michael Olaha is an untouchable name. After 9 rounds, Michael Olaha has scored 2 goals. Although he has not scored as many goals as expected, the striker wearing the number 7 shirt still has a lot of contributions to the gameplay of Song Lam Nghe An. Therefore, it is almost certain that Michael Olaha will still be a mainstay of the Nghe team for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Kuku is one of the best players of Song Lam Nghe An this season. 2 goals and 3 assists are the contributions of the Nigerian striker after 9 rounds. Besides, Benjamin Kuku has created a good connection with the players above. Therefore, Benjamin Kuku's future at Song Lam Nghe An is quite certain.

Although Song Lam Nghe An is currently weak and lacking in midfield and defense. But financial difficulties makeNghe An football teamcan only replace 1 foreign player. The coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An will have a headache in choosing a foreign player to play in the center back or midfield position.
It is even more difficult when the new foreign player will have to quickly integrate with the Nghe An team and adapt to the playing environment in the V.League. It is very likely that Song Lam Nghe An will prioritize signing foreign players who have played in the V.League to shorten the time to get used to the playing environment in Vietnam. This is also the least risky option.
Meanwhile, domestic players are an even more difficult problem for Song Lam Nghe An. Finding and signing good domestic players is almost impossible. Because good domestic players have been recruited by "big" clubs with huge contracts. Therefore, the Nghe An team can only hope for fairly good quality contracts.
However, once again, financial barriers will also make it difficult for Song Lam Nghe An to add quality domestic players, even if they are only of average quality. Therefore, even when the transfer market opens, Song Lam Nghe An will have few changes in the squad.

Therefore,Coach Phan Nhu Thuatand his colleagues will probably still have to make do with the available personnel. And this V.League break will be a valuable time for the coach born in 1984 to improve the tactics of the Nghe An team before entering the next stage of the season./.
