Midfielder Sam Ngoc Duc blocks conductor Nguyen Hoang Duc of Viettel The Cong Club
Before The Cong Viettel Club set a goal of taking all 3 points at Thong Nhat Stadium to celebrate its new name, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong came up with a "know yourself, know your enemy" playing strategy to help Ho Chi Minh City Club have a beautiful 2-0 victory, thanks to a double from striker Timite Chieck.
That was a result that few people predicted before the ball rolled, when The Cong Viettel Club was a candidate for the championship while the "Red Battleship" had just parted ways with coach Vu Tien Thanh and lost central defender Brendon Lucas.
However, coach Phung Thanh Phuong has shown that if he comes up with a reasonable strategy, builds good morale and creates cohesion, Ho Chi Minh City Club is still very formidable, when he locked down Hoang Duc and silenced the very strong attack of Viettel The Cong Club.

He shared: "Taking all 3 points is a joy for me and the whole team. Even greater joy is the performance of the players in today's match.
Without Brendon, I have other positions to fill. Ho Chi Minh City Club still has people, has many options. Not only the defense, the players showed good professional skills to help the team have a temporary change today.
We have been following and analyzing the gameplay of Viettel The Cong Club in the past matches. I did not expect the results to be so early because today's goal was just to get points to maintain morale. This victory was a surprise.
Ho Chi Minh City Club won thanks to disciplined and fiery play
However, Ho Chi Minh City Club has come up with a plan for the midfield, the players consciously follow the tactics to counter Hoang Duc as well as the midfield of The Cong Viettel Club (without Jaha - PV)".
After the victory, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong also revealed that the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City Club had encouraged and committed after the match to fulfill their promises to the whole team.
For his part, Mr. Phuong expressed his confidence in his students: "When I started working, I saw that the team's expertise and playing style were very confident. I taught them to develop the team's qualities, to control the ball and to make faster transitions.
After the match against Binh Duong FC in the National Cup, we have solved the problem of finishing of the strikers. Ho Chi Minh City FC does not have a striker. Instead, we combine the players together in attack."
