Coach Hoang Anh Tuan: The referee was right...
The Cong Viettel Club defeated the visiting team Binh Duong with a score of 1-0 to temporarily rise to the top of the V-League 2024 - 2025. In the match at Hang Day Stadium at 7:15 p.m. on October 25, The Cong Viettel took the lead thanks to a dangerous header by Nguyen Duc Chien in the 40th minute. After that, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's students had to play with one less player when Bui Van Duc received a red card in the 45+6th minute.
However, the army team defended strongly against Binh Duong's pressure in the second half to keep all 3 points. This is the third victory in the last four matches of The Cong Viettel.
Viettel The Cong has a valuable victory to climb to the top of the table
"To say that I was not satisfied with the match is not entirely true. I would like to congratulate The Cong Viettel. With 10 men playing a defensive strategy, it was not easy for Binh Duong to attack and turn their chances into goals. However, football sometimes requires luck, and in this match we did not have that," coach Hoang Anh Tuan answered Thanh Nien Newspaper's question about why Binh Duong Club lost despite having one more player.
Binh Duong's strategist also said that the referee's decision to give Bui Van Duc a red card and Duc Chien a yellow card was correct, as the two teams played extremely hard in the match.
"Football cannot avoid heated situations. Bui Duc's tackle was unintentional, not intentional. But the rules are the rules, fouls must be punished. And collisions leading to injuries are normal in football. If I were to judge, I am a professional, not a referee. And referees also have support staff, so their decisions are probably correct.
The referee gave Van Duc a red card.
Before, we didn't have VAR, so there were situations that the referee didn't see and missed. The same goes for world football, matches now have a lot of cards. With the fourth referee and VAR, they will see many situations on the field more clearly. However, if the players understood the rules better, there would be no dangerous collisions," said Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan about the dangerous fouls that are increasingly appearing in the V-League.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang: Pham Tuan Tai's injury is not serious
The Cong Viettel has ended the first match after parting ways with Nguyen Hoang Duc. In an interview after the match, coach Nguyen Duc Thang said that many The Cong Viettel players still miss Hoang Duc, as the midfielder born in 1998 has spent many years with his teammates.
"As the head coach, I have to find a solution to talk to the players. Because Hoang Duc is like a brother in the Viettel The Cong family. They have a lot of affection for each other. Without Hoang Duc, some players are nervous. However, that's football, you have to prepare for every situation. The players have tried to overcome the nostalgia. I also think Hoang Duc will miss his teammates," coach Duc Thang emphasized.

Thanh Nien Newspaper asked: "The Cong Viettel lost to Binh Dinh in round 3 of V-League despite having an extra player, but won against Binh Duong with one less player. Is it true that for this team, defending as an underdog is easier than attacking?"
Coach Duc Thang replied: "Not only The Cong Viettel, but all teams in Vietnam are like that (stronger in defense than attack). The Vietnamese team is also not good at attacking. The match against Binh Dinh is the same as this match. When the opponent is short of players and retreats to defend, any team will have difficulty, not just The Cong Viettel or Binh Duong Club. I think Binh Duong team has many good players, among them someone has scored for the Vietnamese team, but when facing such a deep defense, it is not easy to score."
Finally, Mr. Duc Thang confirmed that Tuan Tai's injury was not serious. "The doctor did a preliminary examination and assessed that Tuan Tai's injury was not too serious. According to my observation, his leg is not too swollen. Hopefully good things will come to Tuan Tai," concluded the coach of The Cong Viettel.
