According to initial information, Tan Long Group - Song Lam Nghe An's main sponsor has expressed its desire to return the team to Nghe An province after this year's tournament. The move of this enterprise did not surprise many people because the Nghe An team had long lived in difficult circumstances.
All valuable pillars in the transfer market such as Pham Xuan Manh, Phan Van Duc, Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Van Hoang or even a young defender like Ho Van Cuong have left one by one. At the beginning of this season, only Van Cuong returned because he did not have a place in the Hanoi Police club shirt.
However, the above information did not affect the spirit of Song Lam Nghe An. The players have known about the "ms change" in the new season. However, some older stars or stars whose contracts are about to expire such as Dinh Hoang, Van Khanh, Khac Ngoc and even Van Viet are worried.
The new sponsor's representative had initial but unclear contacts. This unnamed enterprise has begun its first activities to learn about the Nghe An team. All official information will only be announced after the end of this year's season.
Song Lam Nghe An is currently ranked 12th on the V.League rankings with 23 points. They are only 2 points ahead of the bottom two teams, Binh Dinh and Da Nang. If they lose the last 2 rounds, the risk of Van Viet and his teammates being relegated is very high.
In the immediate future, Song Lam Nghe An is making efforts to increase the bonus for each victory to encourage the players' spirit. If they defeat Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 25, things will become easier for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team. Otherwise, the match against Da Nang in round 26 will become the "reverse final" of the season.
