U15 Song Lam Nghe An falls into a difficult bracket
Although ranked first in Group C, coach Nguyen Van Tien and his team have fallen into a very difficult bracket. Therefore, U15 SLNA will need to make every effort to be able to win the championship this year.
U15 Song Lam Nghe An's opponent in the quarter-finals will be U15 The Cong Viettel.
In the group stage, coach Nguyen Thang Long's team had 2 wins and 1 loss to finish 2nd in group B. The impressive result was the 4-0 victory over U15 Quang Ngai.
However, the quality of the U15 The Cong Viettel team participating in this tournament is not too strong. In the qualifying round, coach Nguyen Thang Long's team only won 5 matches, drew 1 match and lost 2 matches.
In addition, in recent years, U15 Song Lam Nghe An has often easily defeated U15 The Cong Viettel in the Knockout rounds. Most recently, they won 5-2 in the semi-finals of the National U15 in 2023. Therefore, if coach Nguyen Van Tien's team plays to their full potential, they can completely defeat U15 The Cong Viettel in the quarter-finals.
If they can overcome U15 The Cong Viettel, the young team from Nghe An will most likely have to face U15 PVF. This is a reenactment of the finals of the last two U15 National tournaments. In the 2022 tournament, U15 Song Lam Nghe An won 4-2 to become champions. Meanwhile, in last year's season, U15 PVF successfully paid off their debt to be crowned champions for the fifth time.
In this year’s tournament, U15 PVF is showing its tremendous strength. In the qualifying round, coach Nguyen Ngoc Duy’s team won 7 matches, drew 1 match and had a goal difference of +47.
Not stopping there, in the group stage of this year's finals, U15 PVF won all 3 matches, scoring 12 goals and only conceding 1 goal. Notably, the devastating 7-1 victory over U15 SHB Da Nang.
In addition, U15 PVF also has home field advantage as this year's tournament is held at PVF Hung Yen Youth Football Training Center. Therefore, U15 PVF is the leading candidate for this year's championship. And that will be an extremely big challenge for coach Nguyen Van Tien and his team if U15 Song Lam Nghe An makes it to the semi-finals.
Hopefully, U15 Song Lam Nghe An will play better and better, thereby continuing to win to conquer the 5th National U15 Championship.
The quarter-final match between U15 Song Lam Nghe An and U15 The Cong Viettel will take place at 3:00 p.m. on September 8 at PVF Youth Football Training Center, Hung Yen.
