No star still 'top of the roof, ceiling high, fluttering'

Among them, HAGL and Ha Tinh are the teams leading the table. Apart from the two teams mentioned above, the rest of the V-League has no team that has won all 2 rounds. These are also the 2 teams that have scored the most goals in the V-League up to now: HAGL has scored 6 goals, Ha Tinh has scored 4 goals.

HAGL is one of the two teams with the best attack since the beginning of the season.

The reason why the team of Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh and the team of Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong created a surprise after the first two rounds was because the teams initially paid little attention to them, helping the strikers of HAGL and Ha Tinh not attract too much attention, not be blocked as is often the case with famous players wearing the shirts of big teams.

Second, and more importantly, HAGL and Ha Tinh currently have very suitable coaches. Mr. Vu Tien Thanh seems to be suitable for Mr. Duc's team, while Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong is suitable for the central team Ha Tinh.

These two strategists build for the teams they lead a style of play that knows themselves and their opponents, prioritizing protecting the safety of their home field first, then looking to find ways to break through the opponent's net.

Ha Tinh Club surprisingly has 2 wins in a row

Mr. Vu Tien Thanh is also suitable for HAGL Club in that he tends to create conditions for young players to compete, in line with the development philosophy of the mountain town team. Quoc Viet, Gia Bao, Van Trieu, and goalkeeper Trung Kien are players who develop according to HAGL's youth development trend.

In addition, when coming to the mountain town team, Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh also improved HAGL's weakness in playing high balls and one-on-one competition, which existed many years ago, when Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong... were still playing for Mr. Duc's team. HAGL is now very good at playing high balls, with abundant physical strength, which is also a factor that surprises opponents and helps Mr. Vu Tien Thanh build a more solid playing style for his team.

Another team that was not highly rated before the season, but is also playing solidly, is Ho Chi Minh City Club of Coach Phung Thanh Phuong. Compared to the name in the ranks of top coaches, Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong is not too famous, and his Ho Chi Minh City Club does not have many stars.

Ho Chi Minh City Club plays better and better, making opponents wary

However, like last season, this season, defeating Ho Chi Minh City FC is not an easy task. The city team is undefeated after the first two rounds, with a 0-0 draw against The Cong Viettel in round 1 and a 2-1 win against Binh Dinh in round 2.

Ho Chi Minh City FC continues to maintain the tradition of good defense like last season (conceding the fewest goals in V-League 2023-2024), that detail helps them maintain their solidity. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team has more luck, when the front line finished well in the match against Binh Dinh last weekend, at the same time VAR technology intervened in time, helping them escape defeat at the end of the match. However, to be fair, with the current force, the fact that Coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team is undefeated against championship candidate The Cong Viettel and last season's third-place team Binh Dinh is still commendable. That is also a detail that can be said about the two teams HAGL and Ha Tinh, teams that are not strong but have made the right calculations at the beginning of the season.
