Last season, SHB Da Nang staged a spectacular escape from the bottom of the table before securing their survival by defeating Truong Tuoi Dong Nai in the play-off match. If Cong Phuong hadn't missed the penalty in that match, SHB Da Nang could have been relegated from the V.League despite the efforts of Chairman Hien to encourage them.
The decline of the Han River team has been ongoing for several seasons, and there are still no signs of improvement. It's difficult to let this languishing situation continue season after season. But this year, SHB Da Nang's position is even weaker.
PVF-CAND is striving to move up, especially after their draw against Hanoi Police in the previous round. Thanh Hoa, despite facing difficulties due to the absence of Chairman Doan, is full of fighting spirit and shows no signs of giving up.
Looking at the situation, SHB Da Nang is at the biggest disadvantage, both in terms of points and relative to their rivals in the relegation battle. The controversies surrounding coach Le Duc Tuan's position could distract the team internally.
Having been involved in football for over a decade, Chairman Hien is often likened to having the Midas touch, turning everything he touches into gold. Last season, his timely encouragement helped SHB Da Nang and Quang Nam overcome difficulties.
At this crucial stage, SHB Da Nang probably needs more close supervision from Chairman Hien before the team finds itself in a difficult situation.
