HAGL plays for fun

Exactly 10 years ago, when bringing the generation of Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh... to play in V-League and receiving unsatisfactory results, Mr. Duc tried to remedy the situation with the famous saying "HAGL plays in V-League for fun " with the meaning of dedication, not caring about titles.

But, also from that somewhat "explosive" statement, typical of Mr. Duc, the generation of Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh... received quite serious consequences because almost every V-League match is like a final.

HAGL once declared that they played for fun and... were miserable in V-League

Not only did HAGL not win any titles, but the Mountain City team also had to constantly escape relegation, so much so that Minh Vuong had to exclaim: "Spending all of our youth to stay in the league".

After a decade, although the home team has changed, most of the generation of Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh have left, but in the end, HAGL still plays for fun, without any titles and continues to... compete for relegation.

Paradox from Binh Duong Club

From HAGL, which seemed rare, now there is Binh Duong Club, although the team from Thu Dau Mot does not aim to play for fun, is very thirsty for titles... but the results are no different from the opponents who were once rivals in V-League.

In the last 4 seasons, the team that won 4 V-League championships has never finished in the top half of the rankings and is often in the group struggling to stay in the league.

But compared to Binh Duong, HAGL can hardly keep up in terms of spending and entertainment in V-League.

Even if talking about the level of extravagance for fun, Binh Duong Club is far ahead of HAGL when the level of investment, shopping, and transfer is always in the top of V-League.

Every season, the Southeast football team recruits vigorously, bringing to Go Dau stadium billion-dollar contracts for stars and potential players such as Que Ngoc Hai, Ho Tan Tai, Duc Chinh...

There are no specific statistics on how much money Binh Duong Club spent on shopping in the last few seasons, but the number must not be small if you look at the contracts to wear the shirt of the former V-League champion.

They are very willing to spend money on the transfer market, but the results are as seen, not to mention the dozens of coaches coming and going over the past few seasons, so it can be said that Binh Duong Club plays in the V-League for fun, higher than HAGL, for that reason.
