What can we learn from Song Lam Nghe An's loan of Ho Van Cuong?
(Baonghean.vn) - The loaning out of young defender Ho Van Cuong by Song Lam Nghe An is drawing negative reactions from fans in Nghe An. It also demonstrates that Song Lam Nghe An is facing significant difficulties as the 2023-2024 season approaches.
In fact, fans in Nghe An province already knew that their hometown team was facing financial difficulties. However, the news that Song Lam Nghe An had loaned out young defender Ho Van Cuong came as a surprise to many fans and once again confirmed that Song Lam Nghe An was returning to its "poor" status, as in previous seasons.
When Tan Long Group emerged, Song Lam Nghe An experienced a transformation. The team from Nghe An province recruited talented players like Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Trong Hoang, and Olaha. In addition, the facilities and living conditions of the young players improved. However, due to the global economic downturn, the sponsor, Tan Long Group, is also facing difficulties. This has put the Nghe An team at a disadvantage.
As a result, after the 2023 season ended, Song Lam Nghe An had to part ways with key players such as captain Que Ngoc Hai, midfielder Pham Xuan Manh, and loan out promising young defender Ho Van Cuong. This news may have been very disappointing for fans in Nghe An, but it was necessary for Song Lam Nghe An to take steps to restore balance to the team. However, regardless of the circumstances, loaning out young player Ho Van Cuong was regrettable.
After two seasons promoted to the first team of Song Lam Nghe An, Ho Van Cuong has made remarkable progress. With his speed, technique, and fairly accurate crossing ability, the 20-year-old defender has gradually gained the trust of the coaching staff of the Nghe An team.
As a result, defender Ho Van Cuong has played 30 matches for Song Lam Nghe An and provided 4 assists. In addition, this player from Hoang Mai town has been called up to the Vietnamese youth national teams to participate in regional and continental youth tournaments. It can be said that defender Ho Van Cuong is one of the bright spots for Song Lam Nghe An in recent years.
Fans in Nghe An province still hope that their hometown team will not suffer from a "brain drain," thus building a quality squad to compete in the V.League. Hopefully, those involved in football in the province will find effective solutions to help Song Lam Nghe An overcome this difficult period.
