Coach Popov is very impressed with Coach Kiatisak's HAGL
Welcoming Thanh Hoa Club at Pleiku Stadium, HAGL entered the match impressively, creating a series of opportunities in the first half, in which Minh Vuong took advantage of a mistake by the away team's defense to unleash a powerful shot from outside the penalty area to open the score in the 23rd minute.
But in the second half, coach Popov Velizar Emilov's students rose strongly, scoring two goals in a row with goals from Paulo Conrado and Bruno Cunha, before Dinh Thanh Binh had a cannon-like shot to equalize 2-2 for HAGL, ending a dramatic 90 minutes at Pleiku Stadium.
Coach Popov said: "When we play well, sooner or later victory will come. Most importantly, today I am very happy because the players showed their best.
We have prepared well for the match. When entering the match today, Thanh Hoa Club controlled the match and controlled the ball very well. The important thing is that we played high and pressed well.
Tuan Anh faces his old teammate Thanh Long on the Thanh Hoa Club side.
HAGL is a good team. When we pushed up, they scored from counter-attacks. Today we had many chances to score more goals, but also made some mistakes.
That's natural. In football, anyone can make mistakes, so I don't criticize anyone because it can happen to anyone in a match. Thanh Hoa Club doesn't want to defend, they want to attack beautifully.
Thanh Hoa FC kept playing like this and the draw result did not disappoint us. We could have won, but football is not always about winning.
I'm very happy because today the whole team showed what I wanted from defense to attack, showing the team's pressing style of play."

At the same time, Coach Popov also gave a very high assessment of HAGL: "They also have many draws, have many good players and quality coaches. It is very difficult to come to their home field Pleiku and win.
HAGL is a strong team with 2 quality foreign players in the front line. Their domestic players have captain Tuan Anh and striker Dinh Thanh Binh who play very well. I rate Binh as a good player.
I think it is very difficult for any team to cause difficulties for HAGL. Today I am very happy because I really like HAGL team. They will return as a strong team. Coach Kiatisak is a very good coach. I have known "Zico" for a long time.
Therefore, I am very satisfied with the performance of Thanh Hoa FC. For us, all points are important. Thanh Hoa FC tries to stay in the top 8 in phase 1 of V-League 2023".
