(Baonghean.vn) - Joel Vinicius' hat-trick against Binh Duong, helping SLNA win 5-1 away, has changed the way Nghe An's coaching staff and fans view this foreign player.

Sublimation in Go Dau

In round 23 of V.League, thousands of Nghe An fans witnessed the brilliance of the player wearing the number 94 shirt for Song Lam Nghe An. That day, Joel Vinicius scored a hat-trick against Binh Duong, helping Mr. Nguyen Duc Thang and his team win 5-1 away, approaching the top 3.

The Brazilian player entered the top 3 "top scorers" with 11 goals, only behind Pape Omar of Hanoi FC, who is leading the list with 3 goals. What is special is that Vinicius had 6 goals when he was playing for Ho Chi Minh City FC in the first leg and he has 5 goals for SLNA in the second leg. Surprisingly, of the 11 goals, 5 were scored by Joel Vinicius at Go Dau Stadium against B.Binh Duong.

In football, people will not judge the level of a player by one match, but need to observe and monitor. With the hat-trick at Go Dau stadium, Joel Vinicius's opening goal was lucky when the referee did not detect that this foreign player was clearly offside.

Joel Vinicius scored the goal that sealed the 5-1 win, but the credit goes to Olaha for his sprinting ability. In this situation, striker No. 94 knew how to choose a good position to receive the pass, something that the duo did not do well in previous matches.

The fourth goal at Go Dau Stadium was the most marked by this striker. From a long pass from goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, Joel Vinicius took advantage of his physique and physical strength to sweep between two foreign central defenders of B.Binh Duong to score. This is the strong point of this Brazilian foreign player.

Waiting for the shining moment at Vinh stadium

Want to know what kind of striker Joel Vinicius is? Is he suitable for SLNA's style of play? We will analyze more deeply the 11 goals of Joel Vinicius so far this season. This foreign player has 10 goals with his left foot (favorite foot), 1 goal with his right foot and no successful headers.

3 of Joel Vinicius' 11 goals were scored from the penalty spot. 6 of the 11 goals scored by this striker were made from quick counter-attacks, mainly pressing and dribbling past people. This striker is not good at handling tight spaces, rarely has assist situations, only scored 1 goal in slow-moving attacking situations from home.

Reviewing the video, Joel Vinicius's 11 goals were all within 16.5m, including 3 goals within 5.5m. This is also a rather unfortunate limitation for the striker from the land of Samba, which is famous for having many players with flexible ankles, able to score from a distance of 25 - 30m.

The Brazilian foreign player handles better situations where the ball is passed into space in front of him so he can use his speed to steal the ball and approach the opponent's goal better than close-range shots.

Vinicius's first-step ball control technique is not perfect, making this striker confused when handling powerful passes from teammates, close-range and often losing the ball. But when he needs to rush to steal the ball to attack, even the two foreign central defenders Shumeiko and Rabo Ali of the home team B.Binh Duong still cannot keep up with this foreign player.

Vinicius is more dangerous when playing on the right wing, just need to race with the opponent's defense and then turn the ball to the right wing, this striker can shoot into the opponent's goal.

When moving to the left wing, being pressed by the B.Binh Duong defenders close to the touchline, this foreign player almost lost the ball because Vinicius's ability to turn and fake moves was quite clumsy and easy to guess his intentions. Only when Dinh Dong or other midfielders supported could the deadlock be broken.

In the context of V.League not having many good foreign players in recent years, there are many teams like Viettel, HAGL, B.Binh Duong... playing "concession" then Vinicius with 11 goals is considered acceptable.

But it is too hasty to judge Vinicius as suitable for SLNA's playing style, because the incomplete technical parameters have already said what this foreign player needs to show. The defense of the away team Hanoi in the upcoming match is the best "test" for Vinicius, if he wants to continue staying at Vinh Stadium next season.
