Song Lam Nghe An should promote from the last victory?

From the last victory over B. Binh Duong at home in round 9, Song Lam Nghe An can completely recognize and promote positive factors to have another good match against HL Ha Tinh in round 10.
Improved finishing ability

The 90-minute match statistics showed that the match between SLNA and B. Binh Duong had a fairly high professional quality. The SLNA host controlled the ball only 44% and skillfully performed defensive counter-attacking style. Coach Quang Truong’s students launched 8 finishes and 5 of them went on target. SLNA’s finishing rate on target has improved as they still have 1 shot on the crossbar.

This is a rare match this season where the quality of the shots on the SLNA side has such a high accuracy rate. On the B. Binh Duong side, the visitors launched 9 shots, 3 shots hit the target and there were also 2 situations where the ball reached the crossbar and the post. SLNA played a good game without receiving any penalties compared to the opponent’s 1 red and 4 yellow cards.

Despite winning, Pham Xuan Manh personally will have to learn from experience because a foul in the penalty area leads to a penalty. Before that, in the match against Nam Dinh, he also had an unnecessary foul situation outside the penalty area, indirectly leading to a last-minute goal. The position of Cao Xuan Thang also needs to be considered because if defender Sy Nam comes back, Xuan Manh will be more dangerous when playing in the winger position.

Continue to believe in using young players

In the last match, when Peter was not healthy to play, the person chosen was young player Nguyen Van Viet. The player born in 1999 was the one to create a favorable way for Phan Van Duc to open the score after an intrusion and passed the technical person. His good strength and ability to observe also help Van Viet to have other very sensitive passes to his teammates. However, Van Viet is no stranger to Nghe fans. Two players Nguyen Van Duc (1998) and Tran Manh Quynh (2001) are the first faces BHL SLNA “released” in the V.League playground.

Although Van Duc is inexperienced, the biggest mark of original player Quynh Luu is a one-touch finish that sends the ball to the crossbar. The ability to pass the ball and handle in a narrow space of this central midfielder is also better than the man Sy Sam. For Manh Quynh, this player replaced Van Viet and had a tectonic line for Phan Van Duc to score. If he was more fortunate, the number of assists of Manh Quynh in the match would have been 2 when Xuan Thang missed the chance to score at the end of the match. Thus, not only with 3 points, BHL has basically solved the problem in the central midfield position.

How to use Bruno Henrique?

Striker Bruno Henrique last season had 10 goals for HL Ha Tinh, but this season he only had 1 goal after 8 matches. Obviously the ability of this Brazilian striker has yet to be fully promoted. Although this player did not score in the match against Binh Duong, this is still a pretty good striker of SLNA. The player made a one-touch move and finish after an accurate cross from his teammates.

Unfortunately it was an offside ball. It was a typical Bruno Henrique scoring situation with a pretty good one-touch finish. It seems that this player will become dangerous when he has the highest kicking tendency, often present in the middle and penalty area.

However, in order for this player to promote his header and scoring ability, it is necessary to have midfielders capable of crossing the ball well from the two wings for him to choose positions and deliver a quick, neat finish. Unfortunately, Peter Samuel is not the type of player that can cross the ball well, does not work well, manages to manage in the middle area, so the foreign duo of SLNA often do not find each other in combination.

Anyway, Bruno Henrique still has a better finishing ability than Peter Samuel and playing with a 4-4-1-1 chart in the past has helped SLNA become more harmful. The most important thing right now is that BHL must find out how to use midfielder Bruno Henrique to maximize the player’s strengths.
