From the prophecy of coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh: When SLNA is a beat slow...
(Baonghean.vn) – In a football match, if the player is one step behind in handling the ball, he will be at a disadvantage in that phase and may concede a goal, losing the match. However, in an entire journey, if the preparation or calculation is one step behind, it can lead to failure in the entire season.
SLNA lost their third consecutive match, conceding a total of 8 goals. This is not surprising because SLNA is in the process of rejuvenating its squad after a year of saying goodbye to a series of key players such as Khac Ngoc, Nguyen Manh, Dinh Hoang, Ngoc Toan. Players such as Van Khanh, Xuan Manh, Xuan Thang were also injured, causing coach Quang Truong's team to lack the necessary depth.

Exactly 1 year ago at V.League 2019, formerCoach Nguyen Thanh Vinhpredicted: “If SLNA does not do it in time, the team will have a very difficult season in 2020. I have warned about this. This year, the older players are the main players, but next year they will not be able to play like that anymore, so who will replace them? We should let the younger players play now. We can draw, we can lose, the important thing is to stay in the league, next year we will have a young, strong, and ambitious generation. Not being able to do this is very dangerous. We can understand that the next generation of young players does not meet the requirements. It is true that the young players are still young, but they also practice like their seniors, we have to let them try their best to mature.”

Last season, SLNA only had 2 young players promoted, central defenders Le Thanh Lam and Nguyen Ba Duc, and only Ba Duc played exactly 1 match before being loaned to Hai Phong. And then when a series of senior players left, coach Quang Truong hastily promoted 8 young players, 4-5 of whom were in the official squad. This is what SLNA usually does, but everything is too fast, the massive number makes it a double-edged sword.
Even in preparing the force for the next seasons, specifically this season, in V.League 2019, SLNA was a step behind, making everything very difficult. Remember in the past, because of "processing" a step behind, SLNA lost Phi Son, Ngoc Toan, Hoang Thinh...

So this year, what SLNA needs to do is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Not to be one step behind in keeping the pillars like Van Khanh, Tuan Tai, Van Duc, Xuan Manh, Dinh Chau. Also because of daring to trust and use the young players born in 1999, the following seasons, the Nghe An team certainly will not struggle like now.
SLNA, be on the right track, even one beat early, don't miss it, don't wait until the last minute to jump!
Commentator Quang Huy: 'V.League 2020 will be a pivotal year for Song Lam Nghe An'
(Baonghean.vn) – According to the perspective of two veteran commentators Quang Huy and Quang Tung, SLNA will find it difficult to excel in V.League 2020 with a squad of young players, but this will be a pivotal season for the Nghe An team to set bigger goals in the near future.
