On the afternoon of September 14, host Thanh Hoa welcomed Binh Duong team in the opening match of V-League season 2024-2025.
Despite great efforts, Thanh Hoa team could not score any points in the opening match of the new season at home.
In the first match of the new season, Thanh Hoa team did not have the service of center back Gustavo Santos due to receiving a red card in the Super Cup match. However, Thanh Hoa was the better team when they took the lead in the first half thanks to Luiz Antonio.
It was thought that the home team would start the season with excitement with 3 points in hand, but in the second half, Binh Duong showed themselves, especially striker Tien Linh, who scored both goals to help Binh Duong successfully reverse the situation.
Coach Popov said that this season Thanh Hoa team only aims to stay in the league.
After the match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan expressed his admiration for Thanh Hoa team. He said: "In this match, I really admire Thanh Hoa team. You see the lineup, when comparing the forces, we have many better players, but we conceded the first goal. Knowing that in football, sometimes the match is resolved by special situations, and Tien Linh is the one who can do that.
When asked by reporters about his feelings after 10 years of returning to the V-League, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: I haven't worked in this field for 10 years, but I still play football. You know about youth football, I always follow Vietnam's football tournament, especially the V-League. You know about the V-League, the national team players are there.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan answers press conference
It's been a long time since I've been back, but this afternoon before the two teams took to the field, before the referee blew the whistle, I had an indescribable feeling, especially today we won again, even though it was a very difficult match."
Talking about the long road ahead, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: The tournament has 26 matches, this is only the first match. Binh Duong respects all the teams in the V-League, we always think that the teams are very strong, the road is still long, but winning the first match is just a motivation, nothing big yet.
Home team Thanh Hoa lost points in the opening match of the season.
And just one match is not enough to see the whole picture of Binh Duong team. Of course, I have changed compared to the matches of last season. The way of playing, the attitude of playing, you can see that there are changes, that is one of the things I want to change in Binh Duong team. You know that 8 years ago, the generation of Tien Linh and many other players are still here, but they have not won any championship. Therefore, I want to change, change the attitude, the way of playing, to have the desire to rise up to achieve the goal. Although Binh Duong is much younger than some other teams, but 8 years ago Binh Duong was the top team" Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said.
Coach Popov said: "If we couldn't do it, we deserved to lose this match, especially with the individual errors, the repeated individual errors, especially the second goal, which was an individual error. In the second half, we had many injured players, forced to make substitutions, and they were young players, and had not yet reached their peak form. That's all we have now.
Coach Popov answers press conference
The problem is that we have to play 3 tournaments, and currently we have 10 young players, that's all we have, about the force you can ask the club. The head coach and the coaching staff have done their best. Our goal this season is to try to stay in the league, we know it's difficult but we will try our best."
Coach Popov also complained about his player being banned from playing in this match due to a red card in the recent Super Cup match. He said: "We follow the rules, the National Super Cup requires a foreign player to be red-carded. In my opinion, these are two completely different tournaments. I think if we appeal to FIFA, our club will win this issue, but we have no opinion yet."
