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.

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.

Tuan Anh is ready to return before the match against the Hanoi club

HAGL had the first training session after winning Nam Dinh on the afternoon of April 14 at Ham Rong Center. Kiatisak took 5 minutes to talk privately with Tran Minh Vuong while the other players gathered in turn. As usual in the first training session after each game, Kiatisak gave his fitness test with a short 20 m run. The training team monitors, timers to check the fitness to see each person’s performance.

Midfielder Tuan Anh must participate in this exercise, supporting him as fitness coach Bundit Thiabthong. The player brought back the number 11 shirt recently after being treated in Hanoi. His injury is still a question mark. Kiatisak decided to keep Tuan Anh’s feet 100% healthy. The Thai military leader even discussed with Coach Park Hang-seo about Tuan Anh’s situation for the upcoming team gathering. “Tuan Anh is an important player for the Vietnamese team”, Zico once shared. The Thai Binh midfielder completed well in his physical test and the counter-kick, but whether to play or not is still decided by coach Kiatisak Senamuang.

The Korean coach stood outside to observe the Hanoi club training session

The Hanoi Club had the last training session at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center (VFF) before moving to Gia Lai to prepare for the 10th round match against the home team. Coach Park Choong-kyun, who was supposed to be the new head coach of the capital team, was present but just stood outside watching. He completed the prescribed medical isolation, ready to accept the task at the former V-League champion’s home.

The Hanoi club has not yet announced the new head coach. Mr. Park Choong-kyun’s debut ceremony was delayed from the originally scheduled date on April 13. The team won an agreement to invite the Korean strategist to work in advance. Currently, the Hanoi Club continues to search for suitable candidates for the position of a Korean language assistant. Coach Park Choong-kyun was born in 1973, played for many famous clubs in the K.League and played for the Korean national team. He did not have much experience as a head coach when he first led Guam and Tianjin Quanjian Club. After the Chinese team was dissolved, Mr. Park did not lead any club.

Coach Phan Thanh Hung resigned from Binh Duong club because of heart disease

Club Chairman Binh Duong Ho Hong Thach said coach Phan Thanh Hung just went to see a doctor in Binh Duong with the result of an open heart valve, so he asked to be temporarily suspended as head coach to treat his illness. This is the reason for force majeure, so the club creates the best conditions for coach Phan Thanh Hung to treat the illness, temporarily bring assistant Nguyen Thanh Son back to the head coach and Mr. Dang Tran Chinh as an advisor. The leader of Binh Duong club also emphasized that when coach Phan Thanh Hung has finished his treatment, the club will invite back.

Coach Phan Thanh Hung left Than Quang Ninh to join Binh Duong club at the beginning of the 2021 season. He helped this club start the V-League 2021 impressively with 2 consecutive victories, including a very good victory against Hanoi. However, Binh Duong Club then played up and down, currently ranked 6 with 13 points, and had to compete fiercely for a spot in the top 6.

Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong leads Hong Linh Ha Tinh

Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has just been fired by the Quang Nam club in the big investment club Quang Nam, but poor competition is the reason why coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has to leave the hot seat. However, not long unemployed, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong was invited to replace coach Pham Minh Duc to lead the club Ha Tinh. Hong Linh Ha Tinh has just broken up with coach Pham Minh Duc due to not having good results in the V-League. They are temporarily at the bottom of the table with only 6 points.

The task of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong is to help Hong Linh Ha Tinh club to stay relegated, but the most important task is to have points against neighboring team SLNA in round 10 taking place at Vinh Stadium at 17:00 on April 17.

The Vietnamese team can train in Quy Nhon

On April 12, VFF’s delegation led by Standing Vice Chairman Tran Quoc Tuan visited and worked with the Football Federation of Binh Dinh province. A VFF official said that this locality is the right place to train with the weather, Quy Nhon yard and the 5-star Quy Nhon hotel has a temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius, similar weather in the UAE where the venue is gathered. 3rd qualifying round of World Cup 2022.

The Vietnamese team is expected to focus on May 10 after the first phase of the V-League 2021 ends one day. Coach Park Hang-seo has repeatedly come to Quy Nhon to survey the grass. Furthermore, the local donor is the unit that pays the salaries of the military recruiting Vietnam. Vietnam team will meet Indonesia, Malaysia and the UAE on June 7, 11 and 15 respectively.

Thus, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is the 4th professional football team led by the Nghe An strategist.

Immediately after news coach Pham Minh Duc broke up Hong Linh Ha TinhMost of the fans predict that coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will be the new “captain” of the team that is standing at the last position on the stage 1 rankings. V.League 2021. Because at that time, the strategist born in 1977 had just left Quang Nam and was once impressed as a “firefighter” at the Saigon Club, Thanh Hoa and Quang Nam, the team currently playing in the First Division.

Remember, the first time Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong being “hot seated” is at the beginning of the return leg of V.League 2018. Due to the poor performance of the Saigon Club (losing 2 consecutive matches to HAGL and SLNA), the leaders of the team at Thong Nhat Stadium have decided to replace head coach Phan Van Tai Em with assistant Nguyen Thanh Cong. This is a bold “move” by the leaders of the Saigon Club, because the youngest son of former coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh does not have much experience in training in the V.League arena.

However, it did not take long for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong to clear the skepticism from experts and fans of the Saigon football team. Under the “shaping hand” of former SLNA striker, the Saigon Club’s style has been gradually perfected. At the end of the V.League 2018, teachers and coaches Nguyen Thanh Cong won 31 points and finished in 8th place, 7 points more than the team that had to compete in the play-off match of Nam Dinh (24 points in Nam Dinh). .

A year later, in the next season led Saigon ClubCoach Nguyen Thanh Cong shows his ability to direct more clearly. With the squad quality not having many positive changes, the team at Thong Nhat Stadium still performed a very uncomfortable game. Thanks to that, after 26 rounds, the Saigon Club won 36 points (5 points more than V.League 2018) and finished 5th, standing above famous teams such as SLNA, HAGL, SHB Da. Nang, Quang Nam or Thanh Hoa.

Unfortunately for family reasons, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong had to leave the Saigon club to return to his hometown. It was not until the first stage of V.League 2020 passed 3 rounds, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong “re-exported” the pitch. Receiving the invitation of the election of De, the strategist from Nghe An agreed to help Thanh Hoa overcome the crisis. At the time coach Nguyen Thanh Cong took over the “hot seat” left by coach Fabio Lopez, the Thanh team still had not won any points at the first stage of V.League 2020 (lost all 3 matches).

The appearance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong completely changed the face of Thanh Hoa. From a group of exhausted and frail under coach Fabio Lopez, suddenly the Thanh team became a formidable opponent. Before having to carry the luggage to leave Thanh (disagreeing with the election of De), coach Nguyen Thanh Cong helped Hoang Dinh Tung and his teammates win 14 points (4 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), and at the same time exit the danger zone (get up to 8th place).

Not long ago, when returning home, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong received a “call for help” from Quang Nam’s leadership. At that time, the Quang origin team was also buried in the last position on the V.League 2020 stage 2 rankings. Chairman Nguyen Hao’s aim is to hope coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will bring the home team of Tam Stadium. Safe landing period. Despite great efforts, the victories against Nam Dinh, SHB Da Nang and Hai Phong still could not help Quang Nam “escape”.

Instead of leaving the “shipwreck” Quang Nam to seek opportunities in a team playing in the V.League, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong chose to continue working with Dinh Thanh Trung, Huynh Tan Sinh, Nguyen Anh. Hung … conquered the promotion ticket. But then the adventure of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong at Tam Ky Stadium also stopped, when Quang Nam did not win any victory after the first 4 matches in the first stage of the National Championship 2021 (draw 2, lost 2). .

Just finished handing over the work to his successor, Coach Duong Hong Son, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong’s cell phone received a call from the Board of Directors of Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Before the enthusiastic invitation of the head of the team “Hong Mountain”, the 44-year-old strategist agreed to sit in the “hot chair” that once belonged to coach Pham Minh Duc. A rather brave decision of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, in the current situation (Hong Linh Ha Tinh is standing in the “book team” position on the V.League 2021 stage 1 rankings, with only 6 points).

Witnessing the journey of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong over the years, football experts and fans of the country have called him “welder” – nickname of coach Claudio Ranieri – who used to lead football teams. age like Parma, Cagliari, Fiorentina, Juventus, AS Roma, Napoli, Inter Milan, Sampdoria (Italy), Valencia, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Chelsea, Leicester City, Fulham (England), Monaco, Nantes (France). .. The reason coach Claudio Ranieri is called “welder guy”, because the moment he takes over the “hot chair”, most teams are in a form crisis.

Wait and see, whether “the welder Vietnamese version” – Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong can “revive” a Hong Linh Ha Tinh who is “clinically dead” or not?

The statement of the military leader with the nickname “Mourinho Vietnam” is very interesting, because it reflects exactly what the domestic strikers are showing at the V.League this season.

Positive signs

In December 2020, Coach Park Hang-seo created a big debate among experts about the use of too many foreign strikers by V.League as the reason for the Vietnamese team to have a shortage of good strikers. The Korean strategist even suggested that VPF should build a certain mechanism for U21 players to enter the V.League arena.

Mr. Park gave very specific numbers: 47 foreign soldiers played in the 2020 season, of which 70% were in the striker line. Obviously the opportunities for domestic strikers are very limited. The most outstanding people and national players like Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tien Linh, Van Duc, Duc Chinh all scored no more than 6 goals.

There was a time when Mr. Park had to summon and trust using an old general like Anh Duc to understand the general situation of the internal strikers in the V.League.

Everything has changed dramatically this season. The best strikers of Vietnam Tel are all playing too well. Van Toan was twice voted the best player of the month, now has 6 goals in 9 rounds. Cong Phuong, despite playing further from goal than before, had 5 goals, equal to Tien Linh and Van Duc.

A total of these 4 strikers have 21 goals, occupying 4/6 leading positions in the scoring list in the V.League. The two foreign strikers standing with them are Rafaelson of SHB Da Nang and Eydison of Than Quang Ninh (with 5 goals).

Domestic strikers are shining at the V.League 2021.

Domestic strikers scoring in a row is a very positive sign, because it not only reflects the quality of the players, but more importantly, it is also a change in mindset to play in the general ground. .League.

As Mr. Pham Minh Duc, Vietnamese players have very good technique and when they shine in the V.League, it means that the tournament has also become more technical.

Previously, many teams “set white” to score goals for foreign strikers. The downline just bounces up for strikers with outstanding form and fitness to manage.

To ensure their achievements, coaches are forced to use strong foreign soldiers with impressive power and height, but many players’ soccer skills are only average or below this level.

The internal strikers shine mainly because the teams have accepted to build their play around them, using tactics that are more suitable for the technique and the body of the players. Not only the teams are different, but Coach Park Hang-seo also benefits from this change.

More comprehensive, more dangerous

Personally, the players have also made changes to become more dangerous. Van Toan, who is sublimating in the colors of Hoang Anh Gia Lai, has “removed” the label of “disruptive striker”.

Previously, the striker from Hai Duong was often mentioned only with a short breakout speed. Now, he is transforming into a dangerous table scorer by omniscience. His six goals included a left-foot, right-footed shot in the penalty area and a long shot.

Playing under the guidance of a coach who was once Southeast Asia’s number one striker like Kiatisak is a great advantage for Van Toan. The striker’s play has gradually become perfected, helping him become a permanent threat to the opponent’s goal.

Chevaughn Walsh, one of the foreign strikers, was disappointed.

Along with Van Toan, Cong Phuong also changed. Backed down to play lower than before, the striker from Nghe An has plenty of room to show off his elite skills.

Cong Phuong was significantly less cumbersome under Kiatisak’s sharpening, more diligent, and had two goals from left-footed kicks that were not commonly seen before.

The way Kiatisak uses Cong Phuong is also an interesting suggestion for Mr. Park, in the context of Vietnam Tel is facing many difficulties in human resources in the middle line.

Can not fail to mention Phan Van Duc. The 1996-born striker’s rising career was interrupted by consecutive injuries, but fortunately it did not take away the qualities of the player considered more than 50% of Song Lam Nghe An’s strength. this time. Even Van Duc at present is even more unpredictable because of his assertiveness.

The German goals “creak” from the beginning of the season have many super products, made by extremely classy kicks. Van Duc is a smart player, always making a reasonable decision in each moment and now, he is more dangerous when he gradually becomes a mutant.

The “evolution” of strikers will bring Mr. Park Hang-seo more solutions on attack. Van Duc, Van Toan, Cong Phuong and even Tien Linh have different qualities, suitable for each opponent.

When they are in the best state, Vietnamese telecom products will become unpredictable, especially when Quang Hai is also showing signs of recovery.

Foreign strikers are only secondary

Coach Pham Minh Duc has a reason to criticize foreign strikers when Hong Linh Ha Tinh has lost 3/4 of the penalty since the beginning of the season because he believes in foreign strikers.

In the first match of the V.League 2021, Claudecir set up a “double” shot to miss 11 meters against Than Quang Ninh, causing Hong Linh Ha Tinh to lose 1-2.

When it came to the “reverse final” of Saigon FC, it was Chevaughn Walsh’s turn to end the game at a time when the team was leading 0-1. Failure to Saigon FC led Mr. Duc to decide to resign, giving hot seats to coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.

Ho Chi Minh City club is probably “saddest” the most V.League because of its foreign strikers. The trio of Joao Paulo, Dario Silva and Junior Barrios cost the Thong Nhat team nearly millions of dollars, but only scored a total of 2 goals this season.

At Hoang Anh Gia Lai, striker Washington Brandao is one of three players to play without missing a minute from the beginning of the season next to goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh and midfielder Nguyen Huu Tuan, but only 2 goals.

The main task of Washington Brandao is to draw and attract the attention of the opponent’s defenders so that Cong Phuong and Van Toan have space.
