Sanna Khanh Hoa-Bien Vietnam: Hope for a revival

Sanna Khanh Hoa-Bien Vietnam (S.KH-BVN) is going to join the return leg of V-League 2019 with a new name, Nguyen Huu Khoi, former forward of Vietnam U-23 and former player of a third-division team of Korea. Khoi is expected to bring a fresh wind to the team, helping to improve the position of the team on the rankings. 

 

The return leg of Wake-up 247 V-League 2019 will start soon. The participating teams are actively training, playing friendless, and recruiting new players. S.KH-BVN traveled to Dak Lak on June 28 and had a friendly match with Dak Lak’s team. The team will meet Thanh Hoa in the first match of the return leg on July 7. After the mid-season beak, most of the injured players of S.KH-BVN have recovered quite well and have returned to light training.  

 

 

Nguyen Huu Khoi could have joined S.KH-BVN since the beginning of V-League 2019 but he could not due to some problems in ending contract with his former Korean club, Siheung City.  

 

S.KH-BVN had a hard time playing the first leg of this season. They finished at the bottom. Through the team’s performances, it was obvious that the team needed a player who could connect the attack and has good scoring ability. Pham Trum Tinh and Oliveira Warley were the outstanding players in the attacking line of S.KH-BVN. However, their short stature partly limited their skills when dealing with opposition defenders. Additionally, the team suffered with some many defenders injured. Zarour, who has been regarded as a “steel shield” of S.KH-BVN, could not play at his best because of injury.      

 

Besides, forward Youssouf Toure and midfield Lam Ti Phong were not in their best form. They were also often closely marked by the opponents, so they could not contribute to the team’s playing. In order to improve the team’s playing and position, Coach Vo Dinh Tan of S.KH-BVN signed Huu Khoi, who scored five in 19 matches and was rather highly regarded when playing for Siheung City. Hopefully, the joining of Huu Khoi will help to revive S.KH-BVN in the last half of V-League 2019.
