HAGL's attack line is on red alert, waiting for 'Thai Zico' Kiatisak to take action

Striker Dinh Thanh Binh in the match where HAGL Club lost 1-2 to CAHN Club

The preliminary round match of the 2023 - 2024 National Cup at Hang Day Stadium of the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) not only stopped the ambition to go far in this arena, but also left a heavy loss of human resources for Coach Kiatisak's HAGL Club.

After making smart runs and making a great assist for Chau Ngoc Quang to open the scoring in the 14th minute, striker Dinh Thanh Binh played very energetically and impressively, creating many threats to goalkeeper Filip Nguyen's goal.

However, in a missed tackle, Dinh Thanh Binh's knee hit the ground, causing him to be injured and had to be replaced in the 41st minute.

X-ray results later determined that the striker, who was once called up to the Vietnam national team by coach Philippe Troussier, had a strained anterior cruciate ligament and a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament. He is expected to be out for at least a month.

HAGL Club will lose striker Martin Dzilah until the end of the season

The worst was yet to come, as another scan also confirmed that striker Martin Dzilah was also in serious pain, suffering both a hamstring injury and a torn ligament.

Today, this Ghanaian striker had to be taken to Ho Chi Minh City for knee surgery, which means an early exit from the 2023-2024 season. Losing two key strikers at the same time can be seen as a heavy blow to the ambitions of HAGL Club.

Never before has HAGL Club had to rely on coach Kiatisak's commanding talent like now, when the mountain town team is temporarily at the bottom of the rankings after the first 3 rounds with 1 point from the draw with Hai Phong Club on the opening day.

In the hands of "Thai Zico" at the moment there is still the striker duo Nguyen Quoc Viet and Jhon Cley. However, the difficulty is that both of these strikers are better at playing on the wing than as a center forward.

HAGL Club expects Coach Kiatisak's talent to help the duo Quoc Viet - Jhon Cley get along well.

Hopefully, with the experience of a top Asian striker, Coach Kiatisak will help this striker duo, one tall, one small, soon build a way to fit together in at least 1 more month.

At least there is a silver lining in the bad luck, HAGL Club's upcoming match schedule will see them face ambitious opponents such as Binh Duong Club and The Cong - Viettel but will play at home in Pleiku.

After that, Coach Kiatisak and his team will have two away matches at Vinh Stadium of SLNA Club and Thien Truong Stadium of Nam Dinh Club, before returning to Pleiku to welcome their "rival" Hanoi Club on December 27.

It is a very difficult journey. HAGL Club with a severely damaged attack will have to do everything to overcome the difficulties. Although on a positive note, it will be an opportunity for young striker Nguyen Quoc Viet to prove himself.

But certainly with the current force and people, Coach Kiatisak will need the support of Mr. Duc and the new sponsor, with at least 1 more foreign striker to ensure the firepower of HAGL Club for the long-distance race in V-League 2023 - 2024.
