Winning the debut match of coach Thanh Cong makes the final group race really stressful. Continue to fly high Viettel has affirmed itself as a candidate for the championship this year by beating Than Quang Ninh 2-1 and having won the 5th in a row. Like 4 consecutive victories before, Viettel did not attack much, but their counter-attacks were really scary. Winning is not easy, but coach Truong Viet Hoang is completely satisfied with his goal of winning all 3 points. Victory over Than Quang Ninh also helped Viettel set a new record with 5 consecutive victories for himself. Viettel’s victory helped them emerge as candidates ready to overthrow the first place that HAGL holds. Coach Truong Viet Hoang believes that Viettel will win a better result if they face HAGL at the moment: “Whether HAGL will draw or lose in the next match, they are still at the top because they have better performance. To say which team is the candidate for the championship is difficult to determine, but if Viettel meets HAGL now, we will have another match with them. Viettel’s victory also brought about another paradox with Than Quang Ninh. If before the salary and bonus issue is not resolved, they play effectively but when the problem is solved when they have been paid 7 months salary, the performance is in the opposite direction. If the 0-4 defeat to Hanoi in the previous round was explained because they did not have much time to prepare, but in the match against Viettel, Than Quang Ninh players did not show that they played with the spirit of a team. are in the top group of V-League. Meanwhile, a team that continues its sublimation days is Thanh Hoa. Since not using striker Samson after the 6th round, Dong A Thanh Hoa suddenly played a complete transformation and created a record of 4 unbeaten matches, a strong breakthrough on the standings. In the last 4 matches, Thanh’s team won 3 victories and received 1 point division. In those 3 victories, Thanh Hoa has “solved” many opponents that are considered difficult to play, including HL Ha Tinh, Hai Phong and the latest is Binh Dinh. Le Quoc Phuong’s beautiful free kick helped Thanh Hoa win a close 1-0 victory over rookie Binh Dinh right on Quy Nhon Stadium. Thanks to that, coach Ljupko Petrovic’s team made a strong break into the first group. “We aim to have 1 point in this game. In the first half we played better with a reasonable defense and attack effectively with 3 clear chances to score and successfully used 1 chance to get a goal. In the last 4 rounds, Thanh Hoa is still unbeaten, we hope to continue without losing and Thanh Hoa will continue to advance on the rankings ”, said coach Petrovic. Tension last group On the day he returned to his hometown, coach Thanh Cong made an impressive debut when he helped HL Ha Tinh beat SLNA with a score of 2-0 at Vinh Stadium. HLHT soon enjoyed taking the lead in the 32nd minute after Chevaughn Walsh’s shot. Hong Linh Ha Tinh, under the guidance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, showed a more open and prosperous game. The visitors decided to win 2-0 in the second half with the goal of Tuan Hai. Debuting with a sweet victory, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong could not hide his happiness and thanked fans for always accompanying the team. “This is an important victory for the team after a series of unfortunate matches. luck. These 3 points will help players relieve a lot of psychological pressure. I myself as head coach is also very happy. Having only had 2 days of leading the team, this victory really means even more in the context of HLHT always at the bottom of the rankings. “I tried to clear my mind, so that the players feel comfortable when entering the football field, directing them towards the common goal of the team,” said coach Nguyen Thanh Cong. This victory is really important and although it still does not help HLHT get out of the bottom position, they can be full of confidence in their journey here when the gap with the two teams is only 1 point and to the 9th place only. correct distance of 1 win. The victory of Hong Linh Ha Tinh made the final group race really stressful, especially after Saigon FC and Hai Phong had a goalless draw at Thong Nhat Stadium. Hai Phong overwhelmed the home team during the first half and had an advantage over players for most of the second half but could not win. This draw made both coaches unhappy because it made both teams cling to each other in the bottom group of the rankings. The race in the last group is really more unpredictable than ever after this round when the teams chase each other with a distance of only 1 point. That promises all to fight hard in the remaining rounds of phase 1 because the opportunity to break the top into the group above is that they still have a lot of stock still in their hands.

This is also a very remarkable match because it will be a confrontation between defending champions Viettel – the team is temporarily ranked second with 19 points, 3 points behind HA.GL – is extremely hungry to win when meeting. Than Quang Ninh (18đ) – The team is right behind him, less than 1 point. Although they have just lost to Hanoi in the previous round (the main cause of internal problems), the Coal team still has the potential to cause difficulties for Viettel, once their main players are providing “mental doping” (to reduce the problem of being owed salaries, bonuses, pensions …). The key problem lies here: Does the away team have a satisfactory solution to that problem or not? Because even when Than Quang Ninh is in the most energetic state, Viettel is still considered to be better in terms of both the force and the advantage of playing at home.

Viettel has a triumphant song before Than QN in the earliest match of round 10 on April 16

The next 3 matches take place on Saturday (April 17).

At Vinh Stadium, the “Nghe Tinh derby” between SLNA (10d) and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (7d) is also the debut of new head coach Nguyen Thanh Cong – a son of Nghe, matured in SLNA shirt and is the biological son of once famous coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh (who has the greatest merit in training generations of SLNA players) – in the away shirt. Of course, in professional football, the story of the “origin” of the coaches or players is for reference only, just as the “SLNA veterans” played very well in Viettel’s shirt to beat the team. the shadow of my homeland right in Vinh citadel 4 rounds ago. A 2-0 victory over B.BD in the last round with the shining form of the pillars, especially “assassin” Phan Van Duc, helped SLNA temporarily escape from the bottom group of the group. But if they want to be more “sure”, they need to win all 3 points in a match rated on this upper door.

In Quy Nhon, the showdown between rookie Topenland Binh Dinh (VND 12) and East Asia Thanh Hoa (VND 11) is expected to be very attractive and balanced. They are sticking closely to each other on the summary board and also hope to reach the top 6 if they play well and achieve optimal results in the remaining 4 matches. Therefore, the results of this match will not only directly affect that ability but more than that, only the team that wins all 3 points will have the chance. The results are very encouraging in the last 3 matches (2 wins, 1 draw) has helped teachers and coaches Petrovic regain their confidence and with a strong attacking style, they will aim for another victory even though they have to be a guest. this match.

The last match of the day between Saigon FC (VND 9) and Hai Phong (VND 10) at the Thong Nhat Stadium has a different meaning, because both are desperate to get favorable results, at least to ensure the possibility. ability to stay relegated. The precious victory (against HL.HT) after a series of 5 consecutive defeats is a good signal for Coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his students. But on the other side, Hai Phong also ended the series of 4 defeats with an encouraging draw against strong opponent SHB.DN. In that context, it is difficult to judge which team can win this match, although theoretically, the advantage seems to be in favor of Saigon when they play at home.

SLNA will welcome Ha Tinh at home round 10

The remaining 3 matches take place on Sunday (April 18).

At Go Dau Stadium, a Binh Duong Becamex (13d) had to suddenly say goodbye to coach Phan Thanh Hung (due to his health condition), who was in a rather unstable situation. Although still in 6th place, but they are only over 2 teams behind with only 1 point and can completely fall to the next group if they do not win the match against SHB Da Nang (VND 16) this round. Meanwhile, SHB.DN has temporarily left the top 3, but the strength of teachers and teachers Le Huynh Duc is still very respectable thanks to the uniformity between the lines. The “gunfight” between two midfielders – player Tien Linh (B.BD) and Duc Chinh (SHB.DN) in this match is also very remarkable. A match “balance, equivalent”, do not know “which cat bite”.

HAGL welcoming Hanoi is the most awaited match in the 10th round at Pleiku

As mentioned above, the Pleiku yard in this round will be the focus of attention. There, a Hoang Anh Gia Lai (22nd) of elected Duc who is flying high will be hindered by a Hanoi FC of elected Hien who has not yet escaped the crisis? The history of confrontation in recent seasons is in favor of the visitors, when it has been 3 and a half years, they have not yet lost when they met HA.GL in the arenas. Even at the V.League last season, the total score was… 0-7 in favor of Hanoi. But under the guidance of coach Kiatisak, HA.GL is very different from themselves, with a firmer style, rich in teamwork and promoting the capabilities of each player better. Hanoi FC is facing many difficulties, has just broken up with coach Chu Dinh Nghiem (temporarily replaced by coach Hoang Van Phuc) and will most likely continue to have a new coach. In that context, what better opportunity for HA.GL to do a sweet “debt collection”, especially when they play at home? On the other side, although Quang Hai and his teammates had a strong victory in the previous round, but it was a match that Than Quang Ninh was completely underpowered, so they could only prove their strength if they could. score in this match.

The last match of the 10th round took place at Thien Truong Stadium, where Nam Dinh (12d), the team lost 2 consecutive matches with a close score on away field of B.BD and HA.GL, welcoming HCMC ( 10d) – an opponent with quite good results in the last 2 rounds (won heavily SLNA and drew at Thanh Hoa). Of course, Nam Dinh will once again expect great resources when playing at his “holy land” to aim for 3 points, while Polking’s teachers and coaches also want to be able to maintain a stable state. to have points to return to the rear after this match.
