Song Lam Nghe An failed to steal points from a visit to the Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) to face Persija Jakarta, Wednesday (14/3/2018). Had been able to withstand the onslaught of the host, in the end Song Lam gave up 0-1.
Song Lam coach Nguyen Duc Thang seems to have instructed his players to play defensive against Persija. Since the first half, they have shown no desire to play openly.
In the first 10 minutes, the game tempo is running a little slow. New in the middle of the first half Persija can find rhythm. But, repeatedly their efforts did not see results. That's because Song Lam piled up many of his players in his own area.
Song Lam's strategy could make the players Persija frustrated. Unfortunately, they failed to maintain their solid line back until the last minute. In the second half injury time, Le Quang Dai's escorted goalkeeper finally vibrated due to Addison Alves goal.
"First of all, congratulations to Persija for his victory I think the game went very well and competitively We have also shown the best We play under pressure But we have to thank Persija and all the atmosphere felt in Jakarta , "Duc Thang said in a press conference.
In addition to playing defensive, Song Lam also slightly implemented negative soccer strategy. Over and over again they try to gain time. Most visible is the goalkeeper Quang Dai who repeatedly had to get treatment due to a small collision.
Not only goalkeepers, some of their players also behave like that. Duc Thang did not hesitate to admit it. According to him, the strategy was forced to use his team because of the limited number of players and to face the dense schedule.
"With that condition, the players are tired and I do not mean to provoke or plan that strategy - it's a matter of choice for the players because we did not come up with the best squad," he explained.
Despite losing to Persija, Song Lam was not displaced from the top of Group H. Although both collected seven points with Persija and Johor Darul Ta'zim, they still have a goal difference advantage.
