Ho Chi Minh City Club has just welcomed the return of Brendon Lucas to look forward to the second phase of V-League 2023. It is said to be a return because this Brazilian midfielder previously wore the "Red Battleship" shirt from mid-2021 and left Thong Nhat Stadium after the 2022 season ended.
After that, Brendon Lucas joined Arges FC (Romania) and now officially returned to V-League. This central defender born in 1995 returned when Ho Chi Minh City Club was in a very difficult situation. Coach Vu Tien Thanh's team only had 7 points after 11 rounds and is currently second to last in the rankings, while V-League 2023 has only 2 more rounds to close phase 1 and separate the top to compete for the championship and compete for relegation.
Center back Brendon Lucas
The appearance of Brendon Lucas is expected to strengthen the defense system of the "Red Battleship". Ho Chi Minh City Club is the team that has conceded the most goals so far in V-League 2023. The Thong Nhat Stadium team has conceded 26 goals, an average of 2.3 goals/match.
It is known that Brendon Lucas has signed a contract that lasts until the end of the 2024 season. The 28-year-old Brazilian center-back has an ideal height of 1.88 m. He is also considered a supplement to fill the gap left by his colleague playing in the same position Jonny Campbell.
Jonny Campbell leaves Ho Chi Minh City FC after half a season
Jonny Campbell joined Ho Chi Minh City FC at the beginning of the 2023 season. Despite his good physique, the American player could not meet the expectations of fans and the coaching staff. In the first 8 rounds of V-League 2023, Campbell played every minute for the "Red Fleet". In the 9th round, in the match where Ho Chi Minh City FC lost 3-4 to Ha Tinh FC, Campbell received a red card in the second half and was suspended.
Recently, Ho Chi Minh City Club also said goodbye to Jonny Campbell.
