Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is the most successful military leader in the V-League but is still fired After only 10 rounds, V-League 2021 has seen 5 leaders leave their seats, accounting for more than a third of the total number of coaches working in the No.1 tournament in Vietnam. What is behind these departures? Is it merely due to poor performance? The “grinder” coach is activated After the 9th round of V-League 2021, coach Phan Thanh Hung announced his farewell to Becamex Binh Duong club to treat newly discovered heart disease. However, this is not necessarily the whole cause. The recent unfavorable results have made the atmosphere in the Thu land team tense. There was even information appearing that there was an internal problem with Becamex Binh Duong. However, Mr. Hung asserted that his leave was simply due to health factors. Putting aside the obstacles surrounding Mr. Hung’s departure, fans must be surprised when he is the 5th captain in the V-League 2021 to leave from the beginning of the season. So far, the Saigon Club has said goodbye to two coaches, including Mr. Vu Tien Thanh and Mr. Masahiro Shimoda (Japan). Coach Pham Minh Duc, who has been with the Hong Linh Ha Tinh club for many years, has also gone away. More remarkable is the case of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, who helped Hanoi FC win 3 V-League championships, 2 National Cups and 3 National Super Cups were also fired. Except for coach Vu Tien Thanh, who had to leave his chair due to the team’s change of strategy, the common point of these rulers is poor performance. Becamex Binh Duong stopped, winning only 2 of the last 7 matches and was far behind in the championship race by HAGL. Hong Linh Ha Tinh, after the 2020 season, made a strong impression, having failed, won only 6 points (up to round 9), ranked last on the rankings. Hanoi FC as usual still started off quite slowly but it felt like the capital team was arrested, while coach Chu Dinh Nghiem could not make a change. In the midst of that context, changing the general is inevitable. Saigon club is no exception. Last season, the team in pink ran for the championship to the final rounds, but this season it was in the bottom half of the rankings. Coach Shimoda’s football philosophy is not considered suitable for the current Saigon staff. What is the cause? The fact that 4/14 V-League 2021 teams changed captains shows that the number one tournament in Vietnam is becoming a coaching furnace. Commentator Vu Quang Huy admits, the main reason is due to the high competitiveness in V-League 2021. “With the old format, each team has 26 rounds of effort so there can be errors or breaks in terms of performance. But this new format made the situation even more tense, teams only had 13 laps to race to stage 1. Losing a game or two was seen near the danger round. If we want to make an immediate change, there is only a way to change the general because this often brings a positive effect, at least mentally for the player, ”Mr. Huy analyzed. Former player Nguyen Hong Son has the same opinion. He emphasized that the current level of the V-League teams is not too far apart, so the tension in each match and each round is pushed up. In addition, Mr. Son also said that the expectation of the bosses and investors in the team is growing and when the coach cannot bring about high achievements, the departure is inevitable. From a broader perspective, expert Le The Tho affirmed that most of the coaches working in the V-League possess moderate professional qualifications. “Some people are not capable, they are not well-educated, refuse to learn and apply the achievements of world football, since there is no modern coaching method but only by experience. You try to count if there are teams that have won the V-League, there is a team that does not thanks to strong forces, excellent foreign soldiers, the role of the coach is very weak. If the coaching force does not upgrade, the V-League is difficult to develop professionally “, Mr. Tho commented. Former player Nguyen Hong Son also shared the assessment that some coaches in the V-League have not met the requirements for the development of Vietnamese football. “Whatever you say, although there are still limitations, the V-League is going up. Professional requirements are higher and higher, but very few V-League coaches can meet them. Here, we must understand that the training or competition cycle must consist of several phases. How to prepare, what to build, how to staff, how to enter the tournament and how to kick, after 5 rounds of playing or what should be changed next season. Not many V-League coaches have such a vision, so if the pressure increases, they will find it difficult to work, ”said the former Vietnamese midfielder. For his part, commentator Vu Quang Huy again said that the V-League coach team is not bad. According to Mr. Huy, the No. 1 football tournament in Vietnam has a good young coach, personality and know how to update from international documents. “Of course, a good coach does not necessarily have a good record, football is like that. Mostly, the coaches do not have enough staff to implement their ideas ”, Mr. Huy affirmed. In addition to the 5 coaches who have lost their positions, some other rulers in the V-League 2021 are also in a dangerous situation such as coach Nguyen Anh Tuan of the Hai Phong club and coach Alexandre Polking of the HCM City club. These two teams have played wildly over the past time and both stand near the group holding the red light.

This is the first time in many years that Hoang Anh Gia Lai has hosted Hanoi FC as the top team of the V-League.

If Hoang Anh Gia Lai does not win the V-League 2021, they do not know when they will be able to add a third star to the chest as coach Kiatisuk’s dream when receiving the vote of Germany to return to his second homeland. . The Thai strategist is in the hands of self-determination and never felt that the German football team was just as good and lucky as the present, the converging factors to bring them to the top of glory this season.

What happened in Pleiku in the last 9 round reinforces the opinion of experts about the ups and downs of football. From seeming to have to accept a draw as a loss, Hoang Anh Gia Lai was able to decide the victory at the moment of dramatic to suffocating. This makes the Hoang Anh Gia Lai brand more attractive and the fans pay more attention.

The team of “Zico Thai” was ice on top of the V-League, but they had to beat the defending National Cup champion to come closer to the 2021 V-League championship. V-League champion Viettel in round 5 and now, they need to confirm their strength by 3 points against Hanoi FC. Bau Hien has never seen his team decline as it is after decades of domination at the top. And it also took 7 years, under the strategic talent of Kiatisuk, Hoang Anh Gia Lai to see his golden childhood every day.

Hanoi FC only beat Hoang Anh Gia Lai, hoping to get closer to the top 6, thereby continuing to dream of racing in the remaining 8 matches of the season.

The capital team has just regained a little morale after winning Than Quang Ninh, but for observers, it is not enough when the opponent has seriously weakened before the ball rolled because of internal problems. Hoang Anh Gia Lai is really a heavy measure for the revival of coach Hoang Van Phuc. And vice versa, Hanoi FC may be Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s biggest challenge on the way to win the first leg and possibly the entire 2021 season.

Hanoi FC is being supported by history when it is unbeaten in Pleiku in the last 3 years. V-League 2019, the two teams drew both rounds from the V-League to the National Cup, but Hanoi FC still eliminated Hoang Anh Gia Lai when playing the cup to win the championship. In 2018 and 2020, Hanoi FC beat Hoang Anh Gia Lai all 4 times with a total score of 17-3.

But the peak cycle of Hanoi FC is actually showing signs of decline from 2020 to this year. And the departure of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is a strong shock to Hien’s ambition to return to the top of the V-League.

The intense schedule in the context of epidemics and the urgent need for the national team to focus Hanoi FC struggled right from the starting line. The process of recruiting foreign soldiers of Hanoi FC was problematic and when the fortunes were not supported, it can be seen that the injury, the decline of the pillars made everything drift too far out of the reach of elected Hien.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai is showing effective football and defying every defense. Although actively defending, the opponent was also pierced by Hoang Anh Gia Lai by the shine of the stars or luck nearby. With the number of goals lost (6) less than 3 times the number of goals, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is leading the V-League. When Hanoi FC did not have time to “patch” foreign soldiers and recover, Hoang Anh Gia Lai had the advantage of promoting the maturity and uniform performance of the whole squad.

If he wins Hanoi FC at this time, Hoang Anh Gia Lai can “hit 2 targets with 1 arrow” when approaching the championship, again causing his heavy competition with him out of the top 6 right after the first leg.

Experts predict that Hoang Anh Gia Lai with the current relegation officially relegated, they need to win 5 more home games, the throne will come to Pleiku again after 17 years of waiting. There are many motivations for coach Kiatisuk’s teachers and teachers and if Hoang Anh Gia Lai does not beat Hanoi FC at this time, there will be a long wait.
