Through 3 matchesLam River Nghe Ancould not win. Part of the reason for the poor results is that the team has not been able to play smoothly and has not been able to create highly unpredictable combinations. This makes it easy for the opponent to neutralize Song Lam Nghe An's attacks. As a result, many fans are not really satisfied with the brand that Song Lam Nghe An has achieved on the map of Vietnamese football.

Explaining the above weakness, midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang said: “In my opinion, Song Lam Nghe An does not have effective attacking plans because the team is lacking a few key players. Many young players promoted this season have not yet caught up with the rhythm of the V.League. And another important thing is that Song Lam Nghe An has changed the formation too much, leading to the players not being able to adapt to that change, so they cannot deploy the attacking style as desired.”

The former national team player added: “To bring effective attacking play, we need to support each other better. That will create more opportunities for the strikers to score goals.”

In the last two seasons, Song Lam Nghe An is in the process of rejuvenating its squad. The Vinh team's roster for the 2023 season includes 11 players born in 2002 or later. According to Song Lam Nghe An's coaching staff, the team wants to bring talented young players to play in the V.League, so that they can quickly mature, thereby helping Song Lam Nghe An develop further in the future. However, for young players to adapt to the new environment, the leadership role of their seniors is very important.

Trong Hoang shared about this issue: “In the 2023 season, Song Lam Nghe An is the youngest club in V.League, so the young players need to make an effort to overcome the fierce cycle of the highest football league in Vietnam. Besides, we - the older players need to exchange more battle experiences, so that the younger players can mature sooner."

After the first 3 matches of the season, the rare bright spot in the attack of Song Lam Nghe An is the performance of veteran Trong Hoang. He has almost played all 3 matches. Many dangerous moves that Song Lam Nghe An created towards the opponent's goal all had the mark of the midfielder born in 1989. To do that, in addition to physical strength and experience, Trong Hoang also showed his great efforts with his hometown team.

“Playing for Song Lam Nghe An club is a great honor. When I step onto the field, I am always determined to play with more than 100% of my strength to bring the best results for my hometown team” - Trong Hoang confided.

Coming to the match of round 4 of V.League 2023, Song Lam Nghe An will be a guest on Khanh Hoa's field. This team has just won an extremely important victory against Ho Chi Minh City club. Before that, Khanh Hoa had lost 2 consecutive matches. After the victory in round 3, the confidence and excitement of the new V.League team will certainly be pushed very high. However, if Song Lam Nghe An cannot win 3 points against the home team, it will be very difficult for coach Huy Hoang's students to complete the goal of entering the 8 strongest teams after the end of the first leg.

Talking about the goal in this match, Trong Hoang determined: "After the first 3 matches, Song Lam Nghe An has not won any match, so entering the match with Khanh Hoa, the whole team will try 100% of their strength to be able to win 3 points. If we win this match, the team's spirit will be improved, thereby gaining more confidence in the next matches."

The former Vietnamese player also gave an additional assessment of his opponent: "Through Khanh Hoa's 3 matches, I saw that their players have a small playing style, pass the ball a lot and have a midfielder playing on the left wing who plays energetically, along with good physical strength and speed, Song Lam Nghe An players need to be wary of this player."

The match between host Khanh Hoa and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 5:00 p.m. on February 17 at August 19 Stadium./.
