Song Lam Nghe An is very close to recruiting midfielder Carlos Enrique Olaya - also known by the nickname Neneco. This is expected to be a quality contract, which can improve the midfield of the Nghe team in the 2025/2026 season.

In the process of hastily rebuilding the force for the new season,Lam River Nghe Anhas been carrying out a series of deals that are highly appreciated in terms of expertise. Notable among them is Neneco - a Colombian midfielder born in 1995, currently at the peak of his career. Possessing skillful techniques, extensive battle experience and a solid competitive spirit, Neneco is considered the ideal piece to strengthen the midfield of the yellow team.

Although his forte is a defensive midfielder, Neneco is not limited to a single role. He can play well in any position in midfield, even ready to fall back to take on the role of center back when needed. This versatility is a great advantage, opening up many tactical options for the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An.

According to the current valuation, Neneco's transfer value is around 350,000 Euros - a number that is considered quite high compared to the average foreign player in the V.League. Notably, during his peak period playing for Deportes Tolima - one of Colombia's leading teams, he was valued at up to 800,000 Euros. That partly reflects the class and professional value that the Colombian midfielder can bring to the Nghe An team.

During his career, Neneco has played for many big clubs in South and Central America, typically Botafogo (Brazil) - the team that made a splash when defeating Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition, he has also played for Tigres UANL, FC Juárez (Mexico), and recently teams in the Portuguese Second Division. Valuable experiences in competitive football environments are expected to help Neneco quickly integrate and assert his role at Vinh Stadium.

Not only does Neneco have a good tactical foundation, he also possesses the typical qualities of a South American player: excellent individual technique, the ability to handle the ball in a narrow area, a strong physical foundation and especially effective one-on-one skills. This is the type of "sweeper" in the middle of the field that Song Lam Nghe An has been looking for over the past few seasons, when the ability to control the game has always been a difficult weakness to overcome.

However, in addition to its outstanding strengths, the contract with Neneco also raises some questions. First of all, the player's energetic but sometimes too fierce playing style. Statistics show that after 240 professional matches, he has received 49 yellow cards and 3 red cards - a huge number. If not adjusted properly, this could lead to regrettable absences due to suspension, similar to the case of midfielder Zaracho last season.

In addition, the adaptability factor is also something to consider. Nghe An is one of the localities with harsh climate conditions, especially in the hot season. Getting used to the living environment, lifestyle, as well as the dense competition pace of V.League will be a big challenge for Neneco. Therefore, the team needs to have a clear support plan, from logistics to specialized training programs, so that this player can quickly integrate and maximize his ability.

However, it cannot be denied that, if integrated well, Neneco can completely become a new pillar in the midfield, just like Michael Olaha did in the past. In the context of the team rejuvenating its force and needing an experienced leader, a brave and battle-hardened midfielder like Neneco is the right choice.

Neneco's presence is also considered a strategic move by Song Lam Nghe An in upgrading the midfield, an area that is often at a disadvantage in important matches. If he performs as expected, he will be an important link between defense and attack, contributing to reshaping the combative playing style that Nghe An fans always expect.

It can be said that the Carlos Enrique Olaya - Neneco deal is a "gamble" full of calculation and expectation. If "bet" in the right place, this can be a strategic card to help Song Lam Nghe An make a strong comeback at theV.Leaguenext season
