Midfielder Song Lam Nghe An sets goals for away trip to Lach Tray

After the unfortunate 0-1 defeat against The Cong Viettel,Lam River Nghe Ancontinue to be caught up in the intense relegation race in V-League 2024/25. Currently, the Nghe team is ranked 12th on the rankings with 19 points, only 3 points more than Binh Dinh - the second-to-last team but has played one more match. With 6 rounds left in the season, any scenario can happen and the pressure is weighing heavily on coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team.

The match at Lach Tray Stadium against the host Hai Phong in the upcoming round 21 is considered a “pivot” in the journey to win a ticket to stay in the league of the Nghe An team. Before this important match, midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc shared his determination.

“Not only the match against Hai Phong but also the remaining 6 rounds are finals for us. Song Lam Nghe An will have to make every effort to achieve the best results, thereby deciding their own fate in the relegation race,” Khac Ngoc affirmed.

Recently, Song Lam Nghe An has shown a better playing style, even taking the lead in many matches. However, dropping points at important moments still causes the team to face many difficulties.

“We had some good matches, taking the lead against our opponents, but then we let them equalize. That was very unfortunate and the whole team needs to learn from it to improve in the remaining rounds,” the midfielder born in 1992 shared.

Evaluating the upcoming opponent, Khac Ngoc said: “Hai Phong is a team with very good ball control ability. We need to take the initiative to enter the game and try to gain control of the game. By doing that, we will reduce the pressure on the defense, especially when Zaracho and Van Khanh have just returned from injury.”

Regarding the force situation, Song Lam Nghe An is suffering losses on the left wing when both Vuong Van Huy and Ngo Van Luong are injured.

“This is a big loss. However, the coaching staff has suitable replacement plans. Whoever is given the opportunity will devote themselves to the common goal of the whole team,” Khac Ngoc emphasized.

When asked about the specific goal for the away match at Lach Tray Stadium, Khac Ngoc did not hide his determination: “We will try not to lose. If we win, that will be the best result. But anyway, getting points away from home at this time is also very valuable.”

The goal that Khac Ngoc stated shows the difficulty of Song Lam Nghe An before the confrontation with Hai Phong. However, if they want to stay in the league successfully, the Nghe An team needs to get a positive result at Lach Tray Stadium.
