Another foreign player leaves SLNA to shine in Hai Phong

Striker Jeremie Lynch was born in 1991 and joined SLNA in the second phase of V.League 2018. At a time when the Nghe An team was gradually regaining its form, Jeremie Lynch contributed 4 goals to SLNA in 10 appearances. At the end of V.League 2018, this player said goodbye to SLNA and joined Hai Phong Club.

Coming to the Hai Phong team, Jeremie Lynch played with Diego Fagan, also a former foreign player of SLNA. In V.League 2011, Diego Fagan, along with Kavin, Devon and Edmund, was the quartet of assassins of coach Huu Thang. He scored 10 goals in 26 matches for SLNA. However, he was later recruited by Hai Phong. After 6 seasons playing for Hai Phong, Diego Fagan scored a total of 39 goals and became a mainstay of this team.

In the recent match against Nam Dinh in round 2, Jeremie Lynch - former SLNA player showed a brilliant performance. He continuously threatened goalkeeper Xuan Viet's goal, launching many powerful shots. In the 77th minute, a counterattack and neat finish brought a valuable goal for Hai Phong and the scorer was Jeremie Lynch. This Jamaican striker not only has a good height (1m85) but also has the ability to finish very well with his right foot.

This is quite a pity for SLNA when the new Brazilian striker Marcio Alves only does a good job of attracting defenders and is almost harmless in attack. After 2 matches, this player born in 1990 has not had any shots on target. Meanwhile, center back Damir Memović is still playing very well.

There are many players that SLNA discovered to be of high quality, but due to financial reasons or not having the policy of signing long-term contracts from the beginning, they had to watch them leave and start over. Examples include Dickson Nwakaeme and Dieng Abass.

During the second leg of the 2012 season, the Nigerian striker played 13 matches, of which he only started 3, but scored 10 goals, leaving a strong impression in the eyes of the coaching staff as well as Nghe An fans.

Unfortunately, at the end of the season, SLNA really wanted to keep Dickson, but the striker born in 1986 decided to go to Malaysia with a much more generous salary and signing bonus. Dickson joined Angers SCO, a team promoted to Ligue 1 in the 2015/2016 season and played quite well to finish 9th at the end of the season. At the moment, Dickson is playing for Pahang Club in the Malaysian National Championship.

Willis Plaza, a former Navibank Saigon player, came to play for SLNA in 2013. That year, he scored 4 goals for SLNA after 18 matches. Willis Plaza also played for a team in the Belgian Second Division. This year, in the I.League (India), he scored 20 goals after 19 matches for Churchill Brother./.
