Hai Long, Thanh Chung where are going?

Hanoi Club lost 3 key players due to suspension

After the Lunar New Year holiday, V-League returns with an early match in round 13 between Nam Dinh FC and Hanoi FC at Thien Truong Stadium. At this time, the disadvantage belongs to the capital team when they have to play away in the context of 3 key players being suspended. Specifically, midfielder Nguyen Hai Long and central defender Nguyen Thanh Chung have to sit out due to receiving 3 yellow cards. Meanwhile, defender Vu Dinh Hai is punished for receiving a direct red card in the match against HAGL in round 11.

Thanh Chung, who was on the shortlist of 5 candidates for the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball award, was absent from the key match.

This season, Hai Long started 10 matches, scoring 3 goals for Hanoi FC. Thanh Chung also played 9 matches, playing the role of defensive leader and Dinh Hai is an important left-back, having appeared in 9 matches. All 3 players are very important for Hanoi FC at this time. Therefore, the capital team is predicted to face many difficulties in the upcoming away match at Thien Truong.

Big challenge for coach Hoang Van Phuc

Hanoi FC is having an unstable performance. In the last 5 matches, they won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. This is the main reason why the capital team is no longer patient with young coach Le Duc Tuan, decided to part ways with this strategist and appointed veteran coach Hoang Van Phuc. In football, many people still believe in the saying "change of generals changes fortunes" but that is not certain to happen in this case.

Without Hai Long, Hanoi FC may face many difficulties in launching attacks.

In addition to losing three key players, Hanoi FC is still struggling with foreign players. They have just added two foreign players, Luka Bobicanec and Daniel Larissa; and registered another Vietnamese player, Pierre Lamothe. These players have been given the opportunity to play but have not shown much.

Meanwhile, Nam Dinh FC, although missing key striker Nguyen Xuan Son, still has high-class foreign players such as Joshep Mpande, Hendrio Araujo, Lucas. The team from Thanh Nam also added two expensive foreign players from Brazil, Brenner and Romulo. Last season, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team also convincingly defeated Hanoi FC in both matches. This is a great mental support for the defending champions.

Coach Hoang Van Phuc has experience in coaching, but it has been a long time since he has directly held the coaching table. And in the first match after returning, this strategist had to face a strong team. Can the former captain of the Vietnam national team help Hanoi FC defeat Nam Dinh to improve their position on the rankings?
