Why was striker Vinicius not allowed to play in the match between SLNA and TP.HCM?
(Baonghean.vn) - One of the terms of the loan contract for player Vinicius between SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City clubs prevented the Brazilian striker from playing in the match between the two teams in round 22 of the V.League.
Joel Vinicius came to SLNA from Ho Chi Minh City after the first leg of V.League 2019 ended with a loan contract. This was a very surprising news because at that time, this striker was in good scoring form for Ho Chi Minh City and was in the top scorers with 7 goals after 14 rounds.
Meanwhile, SLNA, with economic conditions not allowing it, is testing a series of foreign players and only hopes to be lucky enough to have a striker who can erase the sadness named Alves dos Santos. It seemed like a difficult relationship between the two sides, but because of the troubles in the locker room in Ho Chi Minh City, the Brazilian striker was brought to the Nghe An team.

The pressure has caused this player a lot of difficulties in front of the opponent's goal and the goal against Khanh Hoa in round 21 of V.League seems to have relieved this striker a lot during the past time.
However, Vinicius will have to sit out the match between SLNA and TP.HCM in round 22 of the V.League. Specifically, in the contract that SLNA borrowed Vinicius from TP.HCM Club before, there was a clause: "Vinicius will not be allowed to play when the two teams face each other". Thus, after awakening his goal-scoring instinct, striker number 94 will have to wait until SLNA's away match at Binh Duong Stadium in round 23 of the V.League on September 1 to continue playing.
