Another position for Sebastián Zaracho - SLNA center back?
Before the transfer market opens, Song Lam Nghe An has about 3 more matches in V.League. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat must try to manage with the personnel at hand to improve the performance of the Nghe team.
It can be said that Sebastián Zaracho is one of the most disappointing players of theLam River Nghe AnAfter 9 rounds, 1 red card and 2 yellow cards are what the Paraguayan midfielder has received at Vinh Stadium. Not only that, this midfielder often cannot cover and support his teammates. This is what contributes to making Song Lam Nghe An one of the teams with the worst defense in V.League 2024/2025.
However, due to financial difficulties and having to wait until January 20, 2025 for the V.League transfer market to open, the Song Lam Nghe An Coaching Board will still have to use Sebastián Zaracho in the upcoming matches. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat will have to "unlock" the Paraguayan player to help Sebastián Zaracho regain his form in the Nghe An team's shirt. It could be mental therapy or finding more suitable positions for Sebastián Zaracho.
Especially when central defender Ho Khac Luong will return after injury and Le Van Thanh will also return after suspension. This can help the coaching board of the Nghe An team feel more secure when arranging the Paraguayan central defender to play in another position.
That could be the left-back position, which is quite weak for the Nghe An team. This is understandable as young defender Bui Thanh Duc does not have much experience in playing. Meanwhile, Vuong Van Huy has not shown effectiveness when playing in a position opposite to his forte.
On the contrary, the advantages of a foreign player such as physical strength, speed and ability to compete in one-on-one matches will helpSebastian Zarachoplays well in the left-back position. Besides, the Paraguayan player can completely move inside to support the central defenders when necessary.
In addition, Sebastián Zaracho also has the ability to dribble quite well, so he can completely create impressive attacks. Therefore, playing in the left-back position will also be a possible position for the Paraguayan player. And this is also the position that Sebastián Zaracho played when playing for Club Aurora.
Another position that the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An can experiment with Sebastián Zaracho is defensive midfielder. When Phan Ba Quyen has not returned, the anchor midfielder position is also a position that the Nghe An team has not found a suitable replacement.
His physique, physical strength and good one-on-one ability will help the Paraguayan player sweep the midfield. In addition, Sebastián Zaracho's passing ability is quite good. Therefore, if playing in the defensive midfield position, the Paraguayan player can completely meet the requirements of the Song Lam Nghe An Coaching Board to help the home team have a better game.
With poor performance after the first 9 rounds, Sebastián Zaracho understands that he must improve his performance in the near future if he does not want to say goodbye soon. Hopefully,Coach Phan Nhu Thuatwill help the Paraguayan player improve in the near future to help the home team play better when V.League returns.
