Coach Vu Tien Thanh reunites with his old friend at Ho Chi Minh City Club with the hope of staying in the league.

Huynh Tan Tai will wear the shirt of Ho Chi Minh City Club on loan under a contract that lasts until the end of the 2023 season. This is a personnel addition to nurture the hope of staying in the V-League, when the "Red Battleship" is in a very difficult situation.

Tan Tai is a quality player in the current lineup of Ho Chi Minh City. The midfielder born in 1994 has an aggressive playing style, active on the right wing. Besides, Coach Vu Tien Thanh and Tan Tai are no strangers to each other.

Previously, this 29-year-old player played for Long An Club. In early 2020, he transferred to play for Saigon Club to play in the V-League. This was also the season that Saigon Club became an interesting phenomenon under the leadership of coach Vu Tien Thanh. The Thong Nhat Stadium team played very well that season with a long unbeaten streak (at times topping the table) and finished in the top 3, although the quality of the squad was not rated too highly. Huynh Tan Tai is considered one of the key factors in the success of Saigon Club in the 2020 season.

After Saigon FC dissolved, Huynh Tan Tai joined the rookie Hanoi Police from the beginning of the 2023 season. However, in a team with many stars like Hanoi Police, the former player of Saigon FC could not compete for an official position.

Since the beginning of the 2023 season until now, Tan Tai has only played 2 matches after 11 rounds in the V-League, with a total of 19 minutes on the field. Besides, he was on the field for 1 minute in the 2023 National Cup.

At this time, Ho Chi Minh City FC is urgently adding players to accelerate in the remaining stages of the season with the hope of staying in the league. Previously, the "Red Battleship" welcomed the return of Brazilian midfielder Brendon Lucas.

In the last 2 rounds of the first leg, Ho Chi Minh City Club faced a difficult schedule when they had to face strong teams HAGL and Viettel . Coach Vu Tien Thanh's team is currently second to last on the V-League 2023 rankings with only 7 points.
