Huynh Nhu is silent after the Golden Ball 2022
Yesterday, Lank FC lost to Famalicao 1-4 in round 17 of the Portuguese women's national championship - Liga BPI. Huynh Nhu entered the field from the 46th minute, and Lank's only goal was scored in the 37th minute thanks to Maria Baleia. Huynh Nhu could not reproduce the image of scoring a double and assisting Lank to draw 3-3 with his opponent as in the first leg.
The last time Huynh Nhu scored was in the 63rd minute of the 2-1 win over Torreense in the 13th round of Liga BPI on February 4. After that, she returned to Vietnam to receive the fifth Golden Ball in her career. After returning, she played four games and did not score or assist with a time of 209 minutes.
In fact, Huynh Nhu had a hard time when Lank had to face the two strongest teams in the tournament, losing 1-7 Benfica and 0-3 SC Braga, respectively. Meanwhile, Famalicao is ranked above and is always appreciated more than Lank FC. The weakest opponent in the past series was the 10th place Liga BPI Ouriense, but Lank's two goals were scored by the central defender.
If counting the minutes, Huynh Nhu had a series of 232 minutes without contributing to the goal. When she first came to Lank, she played five games with 78 minutes, but it was the integration phase so they all came on from the bench. After that, the Vietnamese striker scored four goals and created one before losing three matches in the quarterfinals of the National Cup, round 11 and 12 of Liga BPI with a total time of 182 minutes.
Since coming to Lank, Huynh Nhu has played a total of 20 matches – 911 minutes with nine matches in the starting lineup. Lank won seven, drew two, and lost 11, while Huynh Nhu had six goals and two assists. Five out of eight goals were scored against opponents in the bottom half or First Division. Huynh Nhu as well as co-washing almost did not make an impression when facing the top five, namely Benfica, Braga, Sporting Lisbon, Damaiense and Famalicao.
With yesterday's loss, Lank had a hard time competing for the top 5 with Famalicao himself. Currently, Lank ranks sixth with 23 points, eight points behind Famalicao, while Liga BPI 2022-2023 has five rounds left. The schedule of teachers and coaches Daniel Pacheco and Famalicao are evaluated equally, both meeting two top four teams and three teams in the bottom half of the rankings.
