Before the match SLNA – HAGL: Vo Ngoc Toan is confident of defeating Tuan Anh

Referring to this match, midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan said: “Compared to recent seasons, HAGL has become noticeably stronger. In addition to a quality domestic squad that has played together for a long time, the mountain town team also has foreign players with quite high professional qualifications. Typically, striker Chevaughn Walsh, who is leading the list of top scorers in V.League 2019, with 7 goals.

Although Luong Xuan Truong and Nguyen Cong Phuong are not in the squad, HAGL's strength is still formidable. Especially the return of the duo Nguyen Tuan Anh - Vu Van Thanh, after a period of struggling with injuries. Defeating HAGL is not an easy task. However, we still feel confident to complete the goal of winning all 3 points against HAGL. Playing at home is a great advantage for us."

Referring to the central midfielder pair Nguyen Tuan Anh - Trieu Viet Hung, the player from Quynh Luu frankly shared: “Trieu Viet Hung is showing very rapid progress in both HAGL and U23 Vietnam. As for Nguyen Tuan Anh's talent, there is no need to discuss it further. With skillful individual techniques and excellent tactical vision, Nguyen Tuan Anh is an extremely dangerous "detonator" of the mountain town team. If used by the coaching staff, I believe I will successfully neutralize Nguyen Tuan Anh".

Most likely, Vo Ngoc Toan will be in the starting lineup of SLNA in the match against HAGL to pair with Ho Khac Ngoc in the midfield area. In recent matches, the player born in 1994 has taken the starting position from his senior Hoang Van Binh. Up to now, Toan "crazy" has played 598 minutes and scored 1 goal for SLNA in V.League 2019. Therefore, the "duel" between Vo Ngoc Toan and Nguyen Tuan Anh is also worth watching.
