Equalizing a 7-year record in V-League
In the match of round 13 of V-League 2024 - 2025 on February 16, Binh Duong Club led Ha Tinh Club 2-0 after the first half, with goals from Bui Vi Hao and Nguyen Tien Linh. At this time, surely even the most optimistic audience could not imagine the scenario that the Red Mountain team would be able to gain points, especially when playing away.
With only 15 minutes left in the match, the advantage was still 2 goals in favor of the Thu team. However, when the referee blew the whistle to end the match, the score was 2-2, and coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team left Binh Duong Stadium with 1 point in hand. This result is considered a success for Ha Tinh Club. It can also be affirmed that Ha Tinh Club is very difficult to defeat at this time, and not simply due to luck. Thereby, the Red Mountain team also extended its unbeaten streak to 13 matches. That means in the first leg of V-League 2024 - 2025, Ha Tinh Club did not lose any match. This achievement of Ha Tinh Club has equaled the record of 13 consecutive unbeaten matches set by Hanoi Club 7 years ago (in 2018). At this time, Ha Tinh Club certainly wants to aim for the "huge" record of Nam Dinh Club. In 2004, the team from Thanh Nam had a streak of 16 unbeaten matches, from round 5 to round 21.
"Veteran" Trong Hoang (right) is also an important factor for Ha Tinh Club this season.
At this point in the season, Ha Tinh Club can be called the "king of draws", when the team's 13-match unbeaten streak includes 3 wins and 10 draws. However, considering many factors, this is still a commendable achievement for the Red Mountain team. In terms of potential, Ha Tinh Club is inferior to many teams competing in the V-League. In the most recent season (2023 - 2024), Ha Tinh Club was even very close to the door of relegation to the national first division, when it had to play a relegation play-off but finally "overcame the hurdle".
Not the best, but the most suitable
The person who has made the most contribution to the impressive series of matches of Ha Tinh Club up to now is Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong. Mr. Cong may not be the best coach, but he is the most suitable person for the Red Mountain team. The players who have come to Ha Tinh Club such as Trong Hoang, Xuan Truong, Sy Hoang, Tan Tai, ... are similar. Besides, there is also foreign player Mbo Noel, although this striker does not score many goals, but meets the tactical requirements well, so he is always trusted by Coach Thanh Cong.
Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong is the "key" to bringing impressive achievements to Ha Tinh Club
Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong himself admitted: "After an unsatisfactory season (2023-2024 season), we have prepared our squad better. Fortunately, the domestic and foreign players we added are suitable for the team's general playing style. In addition, the players' spirit and cohesion are also higher. Perhaps that is what helped us have an unbeaten streak like the last time."
The 13-match unbeaten streak is a great encouragement, but at the same time, it is also a pressure for Ha Tinh FC in the remaining stages of the season. Because at this time, all the teams in the V-League want to break the unbeaten streak of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team. Therefore, the Red Mountain team needs to make more efforts in the coming time, if they want to maintain the unbeaten streak.
Mbo Noel was injured in the match between Ha Tinh Club and Binh Duong Club in round 13. Mbo Noel is expected to be out for at least 3 weeks. Accordingly, Ha Tinh Club has replaced him with Alhaji Gero, a Nigerian national. This foreign player has been "practicing" with the Red Mountain team in the past time.
