(Baonghean.vn) - The harmlessness of the strikers on the attack line is greatly affecting the performance of the Vinh home team recently.

Unable to convert their good chances into goals, Song Lam Nghe An were held to a draw by Ho Chi Minh City Club in the 18th round of V.League 2023/2024. This was the second consecutive match and the ninth in all competitions this season that Song Lam Nghe An's strikers failed to score a single goal.

Currently, coach Pham Anh Tuan has quite a few players playing in the striker position. Besides Michael Olaha, there are Phan Xuan Dai, Ngo Van Luong, Tran Manh Quynh, Le Dinh Long Vu, Ho Phuc Tinh and Raphael Success. Unfortunately, the source of goals for Song Lam Nghe An must rely on captain Michael Olaha.

Up to this point, the Nigerian striker has scored 6 goals (accounting for more than 1/3 of the team's total goals). Over-reliance on Michael Olaha's talent has caused serious consequences for the Nghe An team. Specifically, every time the striker wearing the number 7 shirt is neutralized, Song Lam Nghe An has difficulty scoring against the opponent.

Recently, players who have played alongside Michael Olaha in attack, such as Raphael Success, Phan Xuan Dai, Tran Manh Quynh or Ngo Van Luong, have not completed their assigned tasks. Many delicious opportunities were created in front of the opponent's goal, but they were often wasted with shots that lacked the necessary precision.

The evidence is that in the match against Ho Chi Minh City Club, which took place on May 13, young striker Phan Xuan Dai hit the outside edge of the goalpost, while Tran Manh Quynh had some indecisive and inaccurate moves, helping goalkeeper Patrick Le Giang not have to pick the ball out of the net. They should have done better with effective shots.

According to statistics, after 18 rounds of V.League 2023/2024, Song Lam Nghe An has only scored 16 goals. Thus, the Nghe An team's attack is only more effective than the attack of LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai and the bottom team Khanh Hoa. Obviously, Song Lam Nghe An is in a situation where "attack cannot compensate for defense" (goal difference is -7).

Therefore, to avoid a ticket to the play-off match with the runner-up of the National First Division, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his colleagues must quickly solve the problem of the attack. If the home team's strikers continue to maintain the habit of "turning goals into opportunities", Song Lam Nghe An will find it difficult to escape the second-to-last position./.
