Why does Song Lam Nghe An often not have the strongest squad?

The injuries of Ho Khac Luong and Dinh Xuan Tien make the list of wounded soldiers of theLam River Nghe Anlonger and longer. Before that, Phan Ba ​​Quyen, Phan Xuan Dai or Le Dinh Long Vu were still having to be friends with doctors.

This is not an uncommon situation for Song Lam Nghe An in recent seasons. The Nghe An team often lacks key players, causing the coaches to have a headache in finding the most suitable lineup. So what is the cause of this situation?

The first reason leading to the frequent injuries of Song Lam Nghe An players is poor physical foundation. The decline in physical strength in the final moments of the match makes it easy for players to get injured. Especially in the dense match schedule. Statistics show that, before getting injured,midfielder Phan Ba ​​Quyenhad to plow through 21/24 matches continuously with the number of minutes played up to 1,609.

Along with that, the majority of Song Lam Nghe An's players are young, and at one point, more than half of Song Lam Nghe An's squad was under 21. This is the age when young players are gradually accumulating experience and physical strength. Therefore, having to compete for 90 minutes and on many fronts (Club and youth teams), injuries are inevitable. The most obvious evidence is the injuries of Ho Van Cuong, Le Nguyen Hoang and Le Dinh Long Vu.

In addition, the lack of depth in the Nghe An team is also a reason for this situation. With not many quality players in the squad, the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An can rotate the squad to ensure the players' physical strength and minimize the risk of injury.

Song Lam Nghe An even had to use players who had just recovered from injuries early. This increased the risk of players getting injured again. The case of young striker Phan Xuan Dai is an example. After 13 minutes of playing in the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai, the striker from Yen Thanh continued to suffer an injury and could not return.

The constant injuries of the key players have made fans skeptical about the quality of the team's medical team. Of course, the doctors and care staff have tried their best to hope that the players will recover quickly.

But financial difficulties prevent the team from purchasing advanced equipment. This makes it difficult for the medical team to diagnose injuries and almost impossible to predict the risk of injury that players may encounter.

If these causes are not resolved soon, Song Lam Nghe An will continue to suffer from injuries in the upcoming season. And at that time, not only will the club face difficulties, but the careers of the players will also be greatly affected.

Hope,Nghe An football teamwill find solutions to help players improve their physical condition, thereby avoiding injuries during competition and training./.
