What does coach Phan Nhu Thuat expect in the final match of SLNA's first phase of V.League?

After 12 rounds, Song Lam Nghe An has 13 points, theoretically still has a chance to enter the top 8 after phase 1. However, to complete this goal, the Nghe team must beat Hanoi FC in the final round of the first leg, and at the same time, wait for the teams above to lose in the "final round". This is really too narrow a gap for the Song Lam Nghe An team. And certainly the coaching staff of the Vinh team has also made calculations for the worst case scenario after the end of phase 1 of V.League 2023.

Talking about the upcoming difficult journey of Song Lam Nghe An, coach Phan Nhu Thuat shared: "It must be said that Song Lam Nghe An is in the area of ​​teams competing to avoid relegation, so there is a bit of pressure on me. As head coach, I try to do the best for Song Lam Nghe An. Up to this point, we consider each match as a final match."

Before the difficult match with Hanoi FC in round 13, coach Phan Nhu Thuat revealed the core thing he wanted to bring to his hometown team. "Each match has its own difficulties, but I always encourage the players to be confident in themselves, play with the best spirit, and unite to overcome difficulties. That is the core issue I want to bring to the players of Song Lam Nghe An," said the coach from Nghe An.

Song Lam Nghe An is sending out positive signals since changing "generals". The appearance of coach Phan Nhu Thuat on the coaching bench has brought a new breeze to the Nghe team. The Vinh team has 4 points in the last 2 matches. That seems to have warmed up the love of Nghe fans for their team. The clearest proof is that there have been many trips from Nghe An to Hanoi to cheer on Song Lam Nghe An. Nghe fans in the capital have also planned to cover Hang Day stadium in gold. This will certainly be an effective "doping" dose for Song Lam Nghe An players, so that they can fight for difficult goals this season.

Thanking the fans for their love for the team, the new captain of Song Lam Nghe An shared: "I think that is a very happy signal for Song Lam Nghe An and I hope the fans will always accompany and stand side by side with the team."

The match in round 13 of V.League 2023, between host Hanoi and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 5:00 p.m. on July 2 at Hang Day Stadium.
