Binh Duong Club regains momentum in the relegation race of V-League 2023

Improved in many ways

Binh Duong Club is at the bottom of the V-League 2023 rankings after the first phase, when it has not won any matches, drawn 7 and lost 6 matches, scored 13 goals and conceded 21 goals. This can be considered an unhappy statistic because in terms of potential and investment, the team from Thu Dau Mot is considered capable enough to compete for a position in the top 8 and can even think about winning a medal, and cannot decline so badly.

The reasons have been analyzed by experts, mainly because the preparation for selecting and arranging personnel before the season still has some shortcomings. The head coach position is unstable, so the playing style lacks structure and is not consistently defined.

In addition, mistakes in each match, from the clumsiness and poor handling of opportunities by the attackers to the loss of concentration and too many mistakes by the defenders, have made the team's performance worse and worse. The physical foundation is also not really good in many matches, so they still run out of steam and lose many goals at the last minute. For example, on the opening day of the V-League, they led Hai Phong 2-0 at Lach Tray Stadium but were equalized at the last minute. Or most recently, the National Cup loss to HAGL in Pleiku when the entire defense stood still and watched Quoc Viet break through and score too easily in the 90th minute.

Tien Linh will boost the morale of the team in Thu Dau Mot.

Entering the upcoming do-or-die round, Binh Duong Club has tightened all aspects from physical strength, personnel selection, rebuilding playing style to discipline in tactics. Coach Le Huynh Duc, although unsuccessful in recent matches, is still trusted by the team leaders to help the team overcome the current crisis to stay in the league. During the past week, Binh Duong has been hiding in Hue to train their physical strength as well as increase training intensity and coordination. Although the match against HAGL in the National Cup ended in failure, the passes of the team from Thu Dau Mot began to look better, ball control became more flexible, and opportunities began to increase.

The important thing is that coach Le Huynh Duc aims to stabilize the squad, accepting some positive changes by prioritizing more experienced veterans. The reinforcement of goalkeeper Tuan Manh, who was called up to the national team, is also a reinforcement of the defense, but the main thing is that Tien Linh has returned in good health to boost the team's spirit. These improvements promise to help Binh Duong Club regain its momentum in the 5 life-and-death rounds, the opening of which is an extremely difficult match with Da Nang at 6 p.m. on July 15 at Hoa Xuan Stadium.

Coach Le Huynh Duc is gradually improving and increasing the resilience of Binh Duong.

Have 1 point will have 3 points

In the first match of the first phase, Binh Duong Club held Da Nang to a 1-1 draw at Hoa Xuan Stadium after taking an early lead thanks to Doan Hai Quan. However, the constant pressure from the home team then helped the Han River team equalize thanks to Ha Minh Tuan. Playing well and standing firm on the away field is one of the necessary conditions to show that the team from Thu Dau Mot knows how to enter the game well, opening the game early with a goal and then trying to keep the squad tight to overcome the pressure. The remaining problem is how they will continue to maintain and promote this style of play in the match on July 15.

Another new point of Da Nang this time is the presence of rookie Lucao in the attack line and that is a real threat to Binh Duong's already shaky defense. The foreign player reinforced from the reigning champion Hanoi is truly a killer who can fight independently even better than Rimario. In the 1-0 victory over Cong An Ha Noi, Lucao not only played well, scored the only goal but also continuously stirred up the capital team's defense, making the team of Van Thanh, Tan Tai, Quang Hai not dare to push the squad up high. This danger will make Binh Duong's defense work harder and if there is no solution to lock down this spearhead, it will be very difficult for coach Le Huynh Duc and his team to create a strong, even playing style.

Using a player playing off-shoulder is risky but also a challenge for Binh Duong.

But if we can separate Lucao from other strikers or the launching pads from the back line such as Anh Tuan, Minh Tam, Quach Tan, Binh Duong's winning at least 1 point is completely possible. In football, if we have 1 point, we will definitely think about having 3 points and then the playing style will be more confident and promote more qualities of each position. Certainly, in the relegation race, winning points against teams in the same situation in every match is very important. Just need to get a point against Da Nang, then return home to meet HAGL in the second match, the team of Thu Dau Mot will be more confident to accelerate in this survival battle. At that time, even though they are at a disadvantage when they have to meet Ho Chi Minh City Club at Thong Nhat Stadium in the last match, Tien Linh's team will still know how to quickly free themselves from their fate when they meet SLNA or Khanh Hoa later. In 5 matches, if they only need to win 3, draw 1 or win 2, draw 2, Binh Duong's path to relegation will be more open. Can coach Le Huynh Duc and his team regain this momentum?

Will Rimario score against Da Nang at Hoa Xuan Stadium?
