What position will Trong Hoang play at Song Lam Nghe An?

Midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang joined Song Lam Nghe An club from the beginning of the 2022 season, after his contract with Viettel club expired. He and captain Que Ngoc Hai returned to the call of their hometown team. Unfortunately for the midfielder wearing the number 9 shirt, a persistent herniated disc injury prevented him from playing and contributing to the Nghe An team.

After a period of intensive treatment, Trong Hoang has started to return to training. Maybe in the next rounds, this Vietnamese national player will be used by coach Huy Hoang in the squad ofLam River Nghe AnWith his versatility, Trong Hoang will help the coaching staff of the Nghe An team have more options in terms of personnel.

First of all, perhaps the positions on the right wing. The right-back and right-midfield positions are the positions that made Nguyen Trong Hoang famous at the club level as well as the Vietnam national team. With the ability to attack and defend tirelessly, Hoang "crawls" almost alone covering the entire right wing. In addition, Trong Hoang also possesses passes that tear apart the away team's defense and precise crosses that give his teammates delicious opportunities to score. Therefore, as long as Trong Hoang regains 100% of his fitness and form, this midfielder will still be a card that brings peace of mind on the right wing for coach Huy Hoang.

Another position that is not too unfamiliar to this 33-year-old midfielder is the central midfielder. In the Vietnam national team, we have seen coach Park Hang-seo arrange Hoang "cow" to play in the central midfielder position many times. Although this position has many excellent factors, Trong Hoang has also done very well and won the trust of the Korean coach every time he plays. With his physical foundation and very good tactical vision, Trong Hoang completely takes on the central midfielder position of Song Lam Nghe An. He can completely combine with Xuan Manh and Mario to form a trio in the central midfield of the Nghe team, helping the team's playing style to be more flexible and creative. The presence of Trong Hoang in the midfield can help Manh "Kalou" return to his favorite winger position to strengthen the left wing of Song Lam Nghe An.

Another option that helpsCoach Huy HoangThe solution to Song Lam Nghe An's attack problem is to arrange Trong Hoang to play as a winger. With speed, strength and smart running ability, the midfielder born in 1989 will help Song Lam Nghe An's wing attacks become more varied. When the Nghe An team's attack is lacking freshness, Trong Hoang will be a breakthrough solution for Song Lam Nghe An in the right winger position. At that time, the two wings of Song Lam Nghe An's attack will become more balanced and help the Nghe An team's attacking style become more diverse.

Of course, we should not expect too much from Trong Hoang, especially when he is 33 years old and has just returned after a long period of injury. However, Nghe An fans can fully hope that the experience, technique and enthusiasm of Hoang "the cow" will help Song Lam Nghe An achieve good results in the near future.
