HAGL has to rely on a last-minute penalty to overcome An Giang in the National Cup photo: Huu Pham HAGL “howling” On the Pleiku field, forecasts were all about an easy victory for HAGL in the match against An Giang. Coach Kiatisuk Senamuang’s team is leading the LS V-League 2021 with 25 points after 10 matches. They have a series of 9 unbeaten matches, including up to 6 consecutive victories. In contrast, An Giang is at the bottom of the First Division table. In front of an underrated opponent, coach Kiatisuk Senamuang took off the main team of HAGL except for the position of midfielder Huu Tuan. In addition to the 3 foreign soldiers such as Brandao, Kim Dong Su and Memovic that are not used according to the National Cup regulations, the players with the highest performance of HAGL such as Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Luong Xuan Truong … all attended. be. With home advantage, HAGL soon overwhelmed An Giang right from the start. However, the HAGL attack line proved to be quite deadlocked before the large defensive play of An Giang. In the first half, HAGL only created a really dangerous situation in the 16th minute when Bao Toan finished the ball and hit the visitors’ post after the assist of Chau Ngoc Quang. The rest of the time, the HAGL strikers, despite the efforts, could not reach the visitors’ goal. At the beginning of the second half, coach Kiatisuk launched Tuan Anh on the pitch to replace Dong Trieu to increase creativity for the midfield. HAGL’s ball lanes were sharper, but the real opportunity still didn’t come. Suddenly happened in the 72nd minute when Van Hop finished tossing the roof of the home team’s net. Before that, An Giang had a quick counterattack on the right wing before the ball was thrown inside. The early defeat made coach Kiatisuk and BHL home team startled. Six minutes later, coach Kiatisuk sent four players Van Toan, Minh Vuong, Nguyen Trung Dai Duong and Van Thanh into the field to increase their attack power. HAGL pushes up the squad to put pressure on the opponent. In the 85th minute, Van Toan was fouled in the penalty area and brought a penalty of 11 meters to HAGL. On the penalty spot, Van Thanh defeated goalkeeper Thanh Nha, bringing a 1-1 equalizer for HAGL. HAGL’s 2-1 victory was set in the 90 + 1 minute with a goal from Nguyen Trung Dai Duong. The struggling victory against An Giang will probably help coach Kiatisuk to have more “data” to prepare for the HAGL in the front stage. Enemy forces, exhaustion Also in the afternoon, the first round of the National Cup had 4 other matches, including: Pho Hien-Song Lam Nghe An, SHB Da Nang-Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Hong Linh Ha Tinh-CAND and Can Tho-Becamex Binh Duong. Due to having to put effort into the V-League front, which is fierce, the V-League representatives all keep the pillars on the bench. In addition, since the First Division teams do not use foreign soldiers, the V-League teams must also let foreign soldiers outside. This has significantly reduced the strength of the V-League teams. At Hoa Xuan Stadium, SHB Da Nang only won 1-0 against Ba Ria-Vung Tau. Song Lam Nghe An even disappointed when he lost 0-1 to Pho Hien. Similarly, Becamex Binh Duong was held 1-1 by Can Tho, and then lost 2-4 in the penalty shootout. Hong Linh Ha Tinh is the only representative of the V-League to win convincingly, with a score of 4-2 against CAND. The central team, after breaking up with coach Pham Minh Duc, is playing excitedly under the guidance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong. Today, the first round of the National Cup will continue with 4 other matches between Dak Lak-Dong A Thanh Hoa, Binh Dinh-Long An, Quang Nam-Saigon and Hai Phong-Binh Phuoc. The opening ceremony will take place at Quy Nhon Stadium in the match between host Binh Dinh and Long An. According to the announcement from the Organizer, this match will hold a lucky draw for fans with a reward of 1 Bamboo Airways domestic ticket worth 5 million VND. The best player in the match will receive 2 domestic flight tickets with 1 Bamboo Airways First Class card worth VND 85 million. Sponsorship news

In addition to the number of starting players, clubs must have an extra force to prepare for situations that arise and injuries. In the V.League, teams usually have 25 to 30 players. HAGL also registered 26 players for this season. To win the V.League championship, coaches often have to maximize the capabilities of both the main squad and the reserve team. HAGL almost maintained an immutable roster after 10 rounds. Photo: Minh Chien. Official and reserve spreads After 10 rounds of V.League, no club has the difference in time between the main roster and the reserve team as much as HAGL. 6 HAGL players who have played all 10 games this season are Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Washington Brandao, Vu Van Thanh, Nguyen Huu Tuan and Huynh Tuan Linh. The other 5 people with 9 matches are Kim Dong-su, Damir Memovic, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Luong Xuan Truong and Tran Minh Vuong. They form a group of 11 main soccer players of coach Kiatisuk. All 11 people have more than 800 minutes in the V.League. Minh Vuong, who is the least player in this group, also has 750 minutes. In the opposite direction, 16 other HAGL players only played a total of 824 minutes, slightly better than Minh Vuong. The huge difference in the number of minutes played between the main and the reserve players led to the difference in contributions to the club. The first 11 people scored 19 goals for HAGL in the V.League. The remaining 16 people did not have one. Kiatisuk is doing very well with the main rock team. But the capacity of the reserve group has not been nearly verified. Or rather, they were not given a chance to show their abilities. We have too little data on Trieu Viet Hung, Nguyen Van Viet, Chau Ngoc Quang … under Kiatisuk. I don’t know how they will perform, what role they will play even though they are both national players, their qualifications are acknowledged. The 600-minute gap between the main team and the reserve team deepens the qualification gap between the two sides. Kiatisuk is not making full use of his abilities, while limiting the reserve group’s progress. More importantly, this will make it difficult for HAGL in the long distance race. In the V.League, HAGL is the only team that has this way of using this user. The second team Viettel also has players who play 900 minutes like Tran Nguyen Manh, Hoang Duc, but they also have players who kick 500, 600 minutes like Pedro Paulo or Jahongir Abdumuminov. The ability to use coach Truong Viet Hoang allows backup names like Vu Minh Tuan, Nguyen Trong Dai to find their own place. The proof is that Minh Tuan has scored and Trong Dai often shines when he is given the opportunity. If users like HAGL, Hanoi club in the 2019 season can hardly fight on 4 fronts. And players like Truong Van Thai Quy, Dinh Tien Thanh or Ngan Van Dai will forever stand in the dark. Kiatisuk needs to prepare for a situation in which Cong Phuong cannot play. Photo: Minh Chien. What team formation does HAGL play with An Giang? But this is just one shortcoming of HAGL. The top of the V.League table proves that Kiatisuk is still correct. He did a great job with the main squad and needed to achieve the same thing with the reserve team. The match against An Giang in the National Cup qualifier on the afternoon of April 23 was an opportunity for him. In the past, the big V.League did not take this tournament seriously. Almost certainly, Binh Duong, Da Nang, Thanh Hoa will launch the reserve squad. If you cannot do the same thing, defeating An Giang cannot be the complete victory for HAGL. Every team wants to beat HAGL now, not only An Giang. Coach Trinh Van Hau (An Giang) From the day V.League returned on March 14 to the match against An Giang, HAGL will play 9 matches in 41 days, averaging 4.5 days / match. They will play 3 more matches with the same intensity. In addition to the continuous travel schedule between the North and South ends and a tense gathering of Vietnam, how many of HAGL’s crystal feet will remain? To avoid that scenario, Kiatisuk will have to think of the reserve team. But how will those players who rarely play? Quang Nho, Bao Toan, Ngoc Quang only have a total of 57 minutes this season. How will they play if they get on the pitch for 90 minutes? Remember, apart from 11 main positions, no other player has scored for HAGL. No team can win the V.League with just 11 people, including HAGL. The confrontation with An Giang this afternoon will partly show Kiatisuk’s solution, which will greatly affect the fate of HAGL on the championship race. Kiatisuk: ‘Xuan Truong is the key player of HAGL’ Captain HAGL explained the reason why Xuan Truong cried after the match with the Hanoi team and praised the pupil.

HAGL is showing an excited face in V-League 2021, far from the image of previous seasons. Coach Kiatisak is considered the key to help the mountain team sublimate. So, what did the Thai military do to help HAGL transform?

6 years of exhaustion to find joy

In 2015, the German election surprised when almost all the U19 HAGL team played in the first team, along with a series of veterans who had to leave. At that time, Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tuan Anh … were creating a fever in the color of U19 Vietnam shirt with explosive and beautiful gameplay.

However, 6 years of playing football in the V-League is 6 years of “young people”, the German footballer has failed and has 5 seasons to relegate. In the 2020 season, due to a change of format, HAGL reached the Top 8 teams after phase 1, won the right to compete for the championship, but the mountain town team still showed a weak face.

Recalling the past a little to clearly see the contrast with HAGL in the present stage. This season, under the guidance of coach Kiatisak, the Pleiku Stadium team is showing off a new look, full of excitement, rich in fighting strength, accompanied by positive results. It can be said that, after 6 years of tireless wait, joy has come to the mountain town. It has been a long time since the fans saw that Duc laughed so much.

Of course, change cannot be measured only visually, it has to come from specific numbers. Up to the 9th round of V-League 2021, HAGL lost 1 match, drew 1 match, won 7 matches and is going through a series of 5 consecutive wins.

Among the defeats of the team in the white shirt team, there are famous names such as Viettel, SHB Da Nang. In addition, coach Kiatisak’s teachers and students also became the team with the most goals (18 goals), the team that conceded at least the tournament (6 goals).

Talking about helping HAGL become a team worth watching, coach Kiatisak humbly said, he only adjusted a little in the defense and strengthened the strategy. The reason the team plays well is thanks to a highly capable HAGL player, most of the pillars are national players.

According to coach Duong Hong Son, the most essential thing in the coaching method of coach Kiatisak is that this captain helps the player to be confident in his own abilities. In addition, the philosophy he built is consistent with the quality and background that HAGL players currently own.

Commentator Ngo Quang Tung also said that coach Kiatisak helped HAGL players to be confident, helped them get back into themselves, showing a very good feeling of the ball. “This is a fact that HAGL in the previous seasons shows off from time to time but cannot maintain very often. Kiatisak comes and helps it become a recipe throughout, ”said Tung.

Meanwhile, coach Trieu Quang Ha agrees with the point of view that HAGL players strictly adhere to the coach’s tactics and excellent individuals know how to shine in time to finish off opponents. “In the past, HAGL played vague, but this season they play coherently, the intentions are very clear,” said Mr. Ha.

Need more stubborn if you want to win the championship

In a turbulent season, most major teams have problems, inconclusive performance, HAGL is emerging as a bright candidate for the championship. Coach Duong Hong Son said that, if it maintains the current personnel and gameplay, the mountain town team is able to compete fairly with all opponents.

“

The beauty of coach Kiatisak is to build a balanced playstyle between attack and defense, know how to bend, know when to shrink, when to expand and adapt to each opponent, each moment.
We see HAGL kicking with Hai Phong is different from SHB Da Nang. Then in the match against Da Nang they also showed two different faces in the two innings. In the first half they took the initiative, in the second half they tried to win. To do this, the discipline of HAGL’s gameplay is the deciding factor.

“

However, Mr. Son also noted that there is a long way to go, and the fluctuations are difficult to predict, so HAGL needs to keep a high level of concentration.

Commentator Ngo Quang Tung emphasized that HAGL is clearly in the form of a champion candidate, but whether or not he can win the throne can not answer. Saying that, Tung believes that coach Kiatisak still has many undesirable tricks.

“The match against SHB Da Nang, they lost Kim Dong-su and Xuan Truong, everyone predicted difficulties but they still functioned well. This shows that HAGL has a real depth in both human resources and gameplay, ”said Mr. Tung.

Looking broader, commentator Quang Tung said that HAGL still needs more improvement in defense if it wants to take the throne.

“Every team that wants to win must have a solid defense. Although HAGL is playing effectively, the defense system has not reached perfection yet. They still need to improve, especially in the ability to defend from afar.

Meanwhile, coach Trieu Quang Ha assessed that HAGL no longer has a fragile image, easily defeated and lost its advantage, but basically it still needs to be more stubborn, especially in the final minutes of the game.

“In a few moments, HAGL still hasn’t held a good beat, which will be dangerous if the opponent spills up with high determination. The HAGL midfielder probably needs to play a little more drastically, a little more strongly ”, Mr. Ha commented.

Ho Chi Minh City club player “fins” the referee to react.

“Coach grinder”

An exciting season with dramatic matches, high quality expertise and many issues that fans and professionals alike have to talk about and it consumes a lot of media every time a round ends. .

In addition to the attractiveness of the competition for positions, the malicious plays, shocking statements, the coach has to lose his seat, proving that the V-League 2021 is a fierce season. Up to this point, there have been 4 coaches saying goodbye to teams such as Saigon FC, Hanoi FC, Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

Notably, if Saigon FC had 2 people who “lost seats”, coach Vu Tien Thanh and Shimoda, Hanoi FC will likely have a third coach this season.

After giving coach Chu Dinh Nghiem a break, the Hanoi club appointed Technical Director Hoang Van Phuc concurrently as head coach, but after only 2 matches, it is likely that Mr. Phuc will have to give up his seat to a Korean colleague. National. The latest captain to leave the chair is Coach Pham Minh Duc of HLHT. Mr. Duc wrote a resignation right after losing to Saigon, causing Ha Tinh to bury the bottom of the rankings with only 6 points / 9 matches, 3 points behind the team and the team at the highest risk of falling.

The leader of the Ha Tinh club confirmed that he had accepted the resignation application of coach Pham Minh Duc after 3 years of sticking and had made a great contribution to helping this Central team play the V-League. The replacement for Mr. Duc will be coach Nguyen Thanh Cong – who also just had to leave his seat at Quang Nam club in the First Division after a series of unsatisfactory achievements in the First Division this season. It is not uncommon for the coach to lose his seat after the team has not performed well, but in the V-League now it has become and is becoming a “habit”.

The fact that 4 coaches “lost seats” after 9 rounds still showed the harshness, the “grinder” of the coaches. Will not say anything but with the teams competing closely for a good position before separating the top and phase 1 ends, any time the list of coaches lose their jobs during the season years will increase.

Many hot spots

After a 1-1 draw between home East Asia Thanh Hoa and HCM City club, assistant referee Nguyen Le Nguyen Thanh is considering suing goalkeeper Nguyen Thanh Thang of the HCM City club for hitting his head in the face, causing He had to implant dentures. This incident took place after the match ended with a lot of strong reactions from the players of the HCM City club against the referee team.

Due to not serving the free kick that referee Nguyen Viet Duan gave the home team, leading to a 1-1 equalizer, the players surrounded the referee’s team, causing the kings of the pitch to rely on the mobile police. to be able to withdraw from the field. Before leaving the field, goalkeeper Thanh Thang of the visitors team rushed in, mourning Mr. Nguyen Thanh, cursing, and then hit the face with his head.

V-League also witnessed the rise of a rare “penalty card king”. That is Ho Chi Minh City’s assistant Pena Viegas Luis Filipe. After the match at Thanh Hoa Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City’s assistant Luis Viegas Felipe raised the total number of his own cards from the beginning of the season to 5 yellow cards and 1 red card. Not playing, but Mr. Pena Viegas Luis Filipe had 3 yellow cards in the first 4 rounds and was banned from duty in round 5, before receiving 2 yellow cards and being withdrawn red card at Thanh Hoa stadium in the last 9 round. The tickets of the Ho Chi Minh City assistant are all due to the referee’s response error.

The match at Pleiku Stadium is equally hot in terms of the referee. In the 3rd minute of injury time, the visitors of Nam Dinh suddenly had a 3-3 equalizer in the audience’s surprise. However, just 30 seconds later, HAGL was awarded a penalty of 11 meters by the referee Tran Dinh Thinh after the touch ball of midfielder Wesley. According to many members of the Referee Board, the 11 m penalty blow in Wesley’s hand contact situation is correct.

But the decision of referee Tran Dinh Thinh was thrown into controversy with the referee team by the players of Nam Dinh. Goalkeepers Dinh Xuan Viet and Wesley put pressure on referee Dinh Thinh directly. When referee Dinh Thinh blew the whistle to end the match, goalkeeper Dinh Xuan Viet continued to have fierce disputes with the referee team. Such overreaction not only deteriorates the image of the V-League, but also entails many consequences. The act of disrespecting the referees has become a problem in Vietnamese football.

Also after 9 rounds, the V-League is witnessing many violent balls on the field. Hoang Thinh broke Hung Dung’s leg in round 5. Hoang Vu Samson kicked Tuan Manh, The Hung kicked Cong Thanh in round 6. Viet Anh kicked the ball against Kebe’s chest, Van Quyet made a rough foul on Janclesio, Van Trung played badly with Kim Dong. Su in round 7. Duc Huy urged Huu Thang’s elbow, Caique cut down Dinh Trong in round 8. Anh Quang cooled Quang Nho and the HCM City player was accused of assaulting the referee in round 9.

The “Martial-League” situation has lasted for 5 consecutive rounds and if the referees do not handle it decisively, strongly, this situation will continue.
