Thy adapts to SPL life with goals for Sailors
October 20, 2024
|The Straits Times
When Lennart Thy arrived from the Dutch top flight to sign for the Lion City Sailors earlier in 2024, there were high expectations of the German forward and the seasoned campaigner could not quite meet them.
In a challenging start to life in the Singapore Premier League (SPL), the 32-year-old managed to score just once in his first six matches.
Fans expressed frustration with him and unfair comparisons emerged with former Sailors striker Richairo Zivkovic, who scored 15 goals in 19 appearances for the club in 2023.
But Thy has responded to his critics by doing his talking on the pitch.
On Oct 19, the 1.84m hitman scored a brace to help the Sailors secure a 3-1 win over Hougang United at the Bishan Stadium. Not only did he take his tally to 11 goals in 14 SPL matches, but he also helped the Sailors go six points clear in the title race after closest challengers BG Tampines Rovers lost 3-2 to Albirex Niigata at the Jalan Besar Stadium on the same evening.
