HAGL Club received a cold shower, returned to earth after a heavy loss to Binh Duong

COLD WATER JACKET

Before the match against Binh Duong Club, Coach Vu Tien Thanh affirmed that Go Dau Stadium is a place where "it's easy to go but hard to return" for HAGL. The mountain town team is maintaining an unbeaten streak in the V-League with 2 wins and 3 draws, but there have been cracks in their performance. Especially away from home, when Vu Tien Thanh's students only won 1 point against the second-to-last team Da Nang in round 4.

HAGL can play well at home thanks to the advantage of fans, and the altitude in Pleiku is very suitable for Minh Vuong and his teammates to overwhelm the opponent's physical strength. However, the above advantages will no longer exist when HAGL has to play away. The defensive counter-attacking strategy helps the home team at Pleiku have the best defensive record in V-League up to the time before round 6, but the playing style that depends on the inspiration of foreign player Marciel dos Santos has been carefully studied by the opponent.

The reality at Go Dau Stadium on the evening of November 2nd showed both the strengths and weaknesses of HAGL. Coach Vu Tien Thanh's players entered the match very confidently, actively pressing to create pressure, even playing offensively to attack the wavering mentality of Binh Duong team after a series of unstable matches. Pham Ly Duc's goal showed the power of youth, when the player born in 2003 followed Tran Gia Bao, becoming the next young HAGL star to enjoy the feeling of scoring in the V-League. However, also because of the young army, HAGL could not keep a cool head. The mountain town team was too excited, could not maintain the rhythm of play, and then fell into the trap of the experienced home team Binh Duong. After Nguyen Tien Linh equalized 1-1, then increased the score to 2-1 , HAGL completely lost control of the match.

In the second half, the mountain town team was torn between attack and defense. On the one hand, HAGL had to rush forward to find an equalizer. But on the other hand, having to push up the attacking formation is not the strong point of Mr. Vu Tien Thanh's team. On the contrary, Binh Duong Club of coach Hoang Anh Tuan is very strong when being the underdog. On a day of sublimation, Binh Duong Club "released" all the pressure of the past days, including a masterpiece by young star Vo Hoang Minh Khoa to help the Southeast representative have a 4-1 victory.

HAGL has returned to earth. The players of the mountain town team need to remember the lesson learned at Go Dau Stadium to maintain their composure and control against more experienced opponents. As for Binh Duong, 3 full points is a boost for Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan and his team to dispel the "clouds".

The 0-0 draw at Vinh Stadium took place between a team that could not score despite having a better attack (SLNA) and a team that played cautiously to keep the score (TP.HCM). Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's Ha Tinh Club also made steady progress when drawing 0-0 with Binh Dinh. The representative from the Central region became the last unbeaten team in the V-League.

HARD TO GUESS

Today (November 3), round 6 of the V-League will take place with the following matches: Quang Nam vs. The Cong Viettel, Thanh Hoa vs. Hanoi and Hanoi Police Club vs. Da Nang. In particular, the match between the top team Thanh Hoa and the former champion Hanoi will be very attractive. Thanh Hoa Club has a habit of winning or drawing against Hanoi when playing at home. With impressive form (winning 10 points in the last 4 matches), Thanh Hoa Club has the advantage, compared to Hanoi team which is showing unstable performance.

Hanoi Police Club is capable of defeating Da Nang to threaten the top spot, as Alexandre Polking's students are in good form. As for The Cong Viettel, the trip to Hoa Xuan Stadium of Quang Nam Club will be full of thorns. Because although Quang Nam team is not highly rated, it is very dangerous at home. The Cong Viettel will not easily bring back victory.
