Pleiku Stadium lacks its best 'goal scorer', HAGL afraid to host Binh Dinh?

Previously, Chau Ngoc Quang had received 3 yellow cards and a suspension in the match of round 13 of V-League, when HAGL hosted Binh Dinh Club at home in Pleiku. It can be said that this is a big loss in terms of force for the mountain town team, in the context that coach Le Quang Trai's team is in dire need of a victory to improve their position on the rankings.

Chau Ngoc Quang's importance to HAGL is undeniable. The midfielder born in 1996 is currently the best striker of the mountain town team, as he has contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in the V-League arena up to this point. Before round 13, Ngoc Quang had appeared in all 12 matches of the Pleiku team in the V-League, with an average time of more than 80 minutes/match.

HAGL certainly wants to win all 3 points at home, when facing Binh Dinh Club, who are considered to be on par with each other at the moment. However, the mountain town team is missing its most dangerous striker, Chau Ngoc Quang. In this context, coach Le Quang Trai can expect the brilliance of the players playing in the back line.

High ball situations for foreign players to take advantage of their physical advantages could be a solution for HAGL.

HAGL relies on foreign players

HAGL lost Chau Ngoc Quang, but welcomed the return of center back Jairo Rodrigues and defender Le Van Son. Jairo is also a hope for the mountain town team to think about scoring goals. This center back has played the role of hero many times, scoring goals to bring points for the home team. After 11 appearances in the V-League, he has scored 2 goals and contributed 2 assists. Jairo is very dangerous in situations where he joins the attack, when HAGL enjoys a set piece situation. Jairo's ability to choose a position and finish with his head to score goals has been shown by Jairo since previous seasons.

Midfielder Marciel Silva is also one of HAGL's "scorers". At HAGL, Marciel's scoring record is only second to Chau Ngoc Quang. If talking about the number of times directly contributing to goals, Marciel is even better than Ngoc Quang, when this foreign player scored 3 goals and had 4 assists (Ngoc Quang had 4 goals, 1 assist). The Brazilian midfielder is also in the group of players who have played the most in the mountain town team's shirt. Up to now, after 12 rounds, he has played every match for HAGL in the V-League.

Brandao (left) is expected to speak out.

Washington Brandao was once the most dangerous striker of HAGL under HKV Kiatisak. Therefore, when reuniting with the mountain town team, the Brazilian striker received great expectations to significantly increase the attacking power of the Pleiku team. However, after 2 matches (round 11 and round 12), Brandao has not yet made a statement. The match against Binh Dinh Club could be the time for Brandao to prove himself.
