This is a significant loss for the Nghe team, especially when the upcoming opponent is Hanoi FC, the team owns the most powerful attack in the tournament.
Serious injury of Van Viet
According to information from the Lam Nghe An River Club, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet encountered injury in the thigh in the match against Hai Phong in the round 21 V.League 2024/25. Despite being actively cared for by the medical team, but now, he has not been able to practice with the team and the ability to play in an important match against Hanoi FC on May 10 is becoming very fragile.
The importance of Nguyen Van Viet
Van Viet is a reliable blocking of Song Lam Nghe An during this season. The 22 -year -old goalkeeper has had 21 appearances and is always appreciated for its quick reflexes, the ability to master the penalty area and the calm in decisive situations. These qualities help him maintain wooden frames in big matches.
Young goalkeeper also played excellently in the match against Hai Phong in the round 21. Despite facing the terrible pressure from the home team, with a total of 20 shots on the target, Van Viet played excellent, continuously had the ecstasy phase, helping the team to win the precious draw.
Alternative options: Cao Van Binh
If Van Viet cannot play in the match against Hanoi FC, the highest possibility of young goalkeeper Cao Van Binh will be given the opportunity. Cao Van Binh, goalkeeper of U22 Vietnam, has just had an impressive performance at the international friendly tournament CFA Team China 2025 and was honored as “the best goalkeeper in the tournament.” With good performances in the U22 shirt, Cao Van Binh is expected to do well in this important match.
The match between Lam Nghe An and Hanoi FC on May 10 promises to be very difficult. Hanoi FC, with a strong attack, will be a formidable opponent, and the absence of the number one goalkeeper like Van Viet makes the pressure heavy on the Nghe team. The selection of a replacement goalkeeper may determine the success or failure of Song Lam Nghe An.
