At home ground Pleiku, LPBank HAGL Club had a 1-0 victory over direct competitor SLNA to rank 10th with 21 points. Coach Vu Tien Thanh was very happy when the team took a big step forward in the relegation race in V-League 2023 - 2024.

Coach Vu Tien Thanh said: "LPBank HAGL's points increased, and their rankings also improved, exactly as we set out. Before the match against The Cong Viettel Club, LPBank HAGL had 6 unbeaten matches, but that doesn't mean anything.

When we won against The Cong Viettel Club and SLNA Club, the chance of staying in the league opened up more. Looking back at the 7 matches when the team only had 2 points, it was very difficult, the spirit was low, but now the spirit is better. The whole team is very confident."

When asked about the arrest of 5 Ha Tinh Club players for illegal drug use, Coach Vu Tien Thanh said: "I don't think this will increase the chance of relegation for LPBank HAGL Club. I think the lesson of Ha Tinh Club will be a warning to all teams.

I told this lesson to the whole team. I told everyone to take care of themselves, that you cherish your life, and play top football.

Ha Tinh FC is also a strong team. With the current number of points, Khanh Hoa FC will have difficulties. SLNA FC will also have difficulties if they lose. For example, in this match, we had a lot of difficulties when we were missing 3 positions: Ngoc Quang, Tan Tai, Thanh Son, so we had to use all the young players on the field.

The next match will be easy for LPBank HAGL team when there is no pressure. After overcoming this match, the match against Nam Dinh Club will be very easy. Playing against the leading team with high motivation, we have home field advantage."

At the same time, Mr. Thanh also shared about striker Nguyen Quoc Viet when he lost 5 kg after returning from the Vietnam U.23 team. The young striker was assigned a separate training regimen.

It is expected that LPBank HAGL Club will continue to play at home in Pleiku, welcoming the top team Nam Dinh in round 18 of V-League 2023 - 2024, at 5:00 p.m. on May 13.
