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.

This is the first time in many years that Hoang Anh Gia Lai has hosted Hanoi FC as the top team of the V-League.

If Hoang Anh Gia Lai does not win the V-League 2021, they do not know when they will be able to add a third star to the chest as coach Kiatisuk’s dream when receiving the vote of Germany to return to his second homeland. . The Thai strategist is in the hands of self-determination and never felt that the German football team was just as good and lucky as the present, the converging factors to bring them to the top of glory this season.

What happened in Pleiku in the last 9 round reinforces the opinion of experts about the ups and downs of football. From seeming to have to accept a draw as a loss, Hoang Anh Gia Lai was able to decide the victory at the moment of dramatic to suffocating. This makes the Hoang Anh Gia Lai brand more attractive and the fans pay more attention.

The team of “Zico Thai” was ice on top of the V-League, but they had to beat the defending National Cup champion to come closer to the 2021 V-League championship. V-League champion Viettel in round 5 and now, they need to confirm their strength by 3 points against Hanoi FC. Bau Hien has never seen his team decline as it is after decades of domination at the top. And it also took 7 years, under the strategic talent of Kiatisuk, Hoang Anh Gia Lai to see his golden childhood every day.

Hanoi FC only beat Hoang Anh Gia Lai, hoping to get closer to the top 6, thereby continuing to dream of racing in the remaining 8 matches of the season.

The capital team has just regained a little morale after winning Than Quang Ninh, but for observers, it is not enough when the opponent has seriously weakened before the ball rolled because of internal problems. Hoang Anh Gia Lai is really a heavy measure for the revival of coach Hoang Van Phuc. And vice versa, Hanoi FC may be Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s biggest challenge on the way to win the first leg and possibly the entire 2021 season.

Hanoi FC is being supported by history when it is unbeaten in Pleiku in the last 3 years. V-League 2019, the two teams drew both rounds from the V-League to the National Cup, but Hanoi FC still eliminated Hoang Anh Gia Lai when playing the cup to win the championship. In 2018 and 2020, Hanoi FC beat Hoang Anh Gia Lai all 4 times with a total score of 17-3.

But the peak cycle of Hanoi FC is actually showing signs of decline from 2020 to this year. And the departure of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is a strong shock to Hien’s ambition to return to the top of the V-League.

The intense schedule in the context of epidemics and the urgent need for the national team to focus Hanoi FC struggled right from the starting line. The process of recruiting foreign soldiers of Hanoi FC was problematic and when the fortunes were not supported, it can be seen that the injury, the decline of the pillars made everything drift too far out of the reach of elected Hien.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai is showing effective football and defying every defense. Although actively defending, the opponent was also pierced by Hoang Anh Gia Lai by the shine of the stars or luck nearby. With the number of goals lost (6) less than 3 times the number of goals, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is leading the V-League. When Hanoi FC did not have time to “patch” foreign soldiers and recover, Hoang Anh Gia Lai had the advantage of promoting the maturity and uniform performance of the whole squad.

If he wins Hanoi FC at this time, Hoang Anh Gia Lai can “hit 2 targets with 1 arrow” when approaching the championship, again causing his heavy competition with him out of the top 6 right after the first leg.

Experts predict that Hoang Anh Gia Lai with the current relegation officially relegated, they need to win 5 more home games, the throne will come to Pleiku again after 17 years of waiting. There are many motivations for coach Kiatisuk’s teachers and teachers and if Hoang Anh Gia Lai does not beat Hanoi FC at this time, there will be a long wait.
