HAGL Club reunites with Kiatisak in Thailand, sets surprising goals for the new season

Minh Vuong meets coach Kiatisak again in Thailand

HAGL Club has closed the V-League 2023 - 2024 by spectacularly completing the relegation target, ranking 10th overall with 32 points, of which 27 points (7 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses - average 1.5 points/match) came from the period when Coach Vu Tien Thanh replaced Coach Kiatisak as the "captain" of the mountain town team.

Preparing for the new season, HAGL encountered difficulties when the trio including national player Dinh Thanh Binh and two young players Le Minh Binh and Nguyen Duc Viet joined Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club.

However, this does not mean that the mountain town team will be resigned to being on the back foot in the new season. HAGL Club leaders affirmed that coach Vu Tien Thanh is still very confident in reaching the goal of entering the top 6 in V-League 2024 - 2025 as announced at the end of last season.

To realize this determination, HAGL Club has planned to go abroad for training, specifically to Thailand from August 15 to 25, expected to play 5-6 matches with professional clubs in this country.

Quoc Viet is ready to be the main actor when the two seniors leave.

It is known that at this time, the mountain town team has also quickly finalized 3 foreign player slots, all from Brazil, including center back Jairo renewing his contract with the new duo of midfielder Da Silva who used to play in Serie C and striker Bruno who is playing in Serie B in the land of Samba.

At the same time, coach Vu Tien Thanh extended the contracts with key players Van Son, Vu Hai and midfielder Ngoc Quang. The team also called back loaned players such as Cao Hoang Tu, Vu Minh Hieu, Nguyen Canh Anh, Ho Minh Quyen..., and will add some young players from the LPBank HAGL academy.

"HAGL team is actively preparing for V-League 2024 - 2025 with the goal of being in the top 6. This season, we have already finalized 3 foreign players, in addition to Jairo who has been practicing with the team, 2 new Brazilian players are preparing to arrive at Ham Rong in the next few days.

Coach Vu Tien Thanh is very confident about this target when he sees the young players maturing. Last season, Thanh took over the team midway so he didn't have much time and was passive. This year he will have enough time to prepare from the beginning so the atmosphere of confidence is rising," quoted the leader of HAGL Club.

Today, captain midfielder Minh Vuong showed off a photo with coach Kiatisak and his wife when he took advantage of his free time to fly to Thailand to meet his old teacher.

The other players will not have to wait long, as the entire HAGL team, after completing their physical training, will be in Thailand on August 15 to meet Coach Kiatisak again - after "Thai Zico" was transferred to the capital to lead the Hanoi Police Club and then said goodbye to Vietnam.

Of course, with his love and very good relationship in Thailand, Coach Kiatisak will welcome HAGL Club and do his best to arrange and plan to help the mountain town team have the best quality friendly matches to prepare for the new season.

Coach Kiatisak and Coach Vu Tien Thanh were teammates at HAGL Club, and they shared their views on football frankly, even though they were different. If Mr. Thanh maintains the efficiency of 1.5 points/match like last season, HAGL team can theoretically reach 39 points - 1 point higher than the 5th ranked team last season, The Cong Viettel.
