(Baonghean.vn) - Although he has just returned from a serious injury at the beginning of last season, Nguyen Manh is a very important part in helping SLNA achieve the current 4th position on the rankings after 10 rounds of V.League 2019.

Because SLNA did not win any titles from V.League to National Cup last season, the Nghe An team will have a lighter schedule than the 2018 season. In addition, reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 National Cup helps SLNA rest in the preliminary round of the 2019 National Cup. Thus, compared to his colleagues playing in the same position who have the opportunity to be called up to the national team, Nguyen Manh is the one who plays the least, but has the most stable performance.

The best goalkeepers that Vietnamese football possesses and have the most chances to be called up by coach Park Hang-seo, besides Nguyen Manh of SLNA, include Van Lam (Muangthong United), Van Cong (Hanoi), Tuan Manh (Khanh Hoa), Thanh Thang (Ho Chi Minh City).

Among the names mentioned above, a son of Nghe An, goalkeeper Van Cong - Hanoi Club is participating in the most matches because after winning the 2018 V.League championship, the capital team has the honor to join Becamex Binh Duong to participate in the continental arena.

Through 19 appearances, Van Cong has conceded 18 goals, with an average save rate of 2.4 times per match, of which the save rate in obvious situations per match is 1.1 times. Currently, Tuan Manh is the one who has conceded the most goals (19) compared to the number of appearances (11), however, that is the result of the entire defensive system of the coastal city team, Tuan Manh still has a high save rate of 2.6 times per match and 0.9 times, the number of excellent saves is 0.9 times.

The goalkeeper who is currently playing for the club leading the V.League rankings, Thanh Thang, has only played the same number of games as Nguyen Manh and has conceded 2 more goals than his senior. Thanh Thang's average save rate per game is 2.6 while the rate of saving chances that could have resulted in a goal is only 0.5, the lowest among the goalkeepers mentioned.

Dang Van Lam will probably still be the number 1 goalkeeper of the Vietnam national team at the upcoming King's Cup even though he has conceded 19 goals in 11 appearances, but that is the result of a disjointed defense that Muangthong United is showing. On average, Van Lam still has for himself at least 3 saves for his team per match and at least 1 clear chance to score.

Nguyen Manh is the goalkeeper who has conceded the lowest number of goals in 10 rounds of V.League (4 goals/9 matches). According to statistics, on average each time he plays, the captain of SLNA has 3.3 saves and 0.8 excellent saves to deny the opponent's chances of almost scoring. The excellence of Nguyen Manh and the defense system have contributed significantly to SLNA's position in the top 4 teams, even though the attack has only scored 7 goals after 10 rounds.

Despite his excellent form, past mistakes are the biggest obstacle that makes Nguyen Manh's path back to the national team smaller. No one but Nguyen Manh must understand best that if coach Park gives him a chance, the goalkeeper from Nghe An will have to limit his mistakes, stay calm and keep a cool head so as not to let his teammates' efforts and fans' hopes go down the drain./.
