Hanoi FC defeated Nam Dinh FC 1-0 in the match of round 3, phase 2 of V-League 2023. Tuan Hai's only goal helped the capital team temporarily take the top spot with 29 points, equal to Thanh Hoa FC but ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference. However, if Hanoi Police FC wins against Hai Phong FC in the match tomorrow night, July 29, the top spot will change hands once again.
Coach Bozidar Bandovic of Hanoi FC assessed: "Hanoi FC has not done well in the attack phase, the players did not keep the ball well. We had counter-attack situations to score the second goal in this match. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh FC held the ball well, pushing the ball close to Hanoi's goal. Luckily, we avoided conceding a goal from the opponent's corner kick. There were many matches where we attacked well but there were also deadlocked matches. However, victory is the ultimate goal of Hanoi FC.
Referee Le Vu Linh
Hanoi Club has a hard-won victory
The players showed their personality and desire to win. I still want to make some changes to make the team more stable. There were many matches where we played well in attack, but many matches we only played close to good level. For me, this victory is very important, bringing Hanoi Club closer to the top of the table."
The strategist of the Hanoi team also praised Tuan Hai, the author of the only goal in this match. "I don't want to share too much about a player because football is a team sport. To me, Tuan Hai is a special player, I respect him very much. Tuan Hai is always focused and eager no matter what position he plays on the field. He always tries to do his best.
If you remember, in the first matches I was coach, Tuan Hai was not in the starting lineup. However, Tuan Hai still maintained his attitude, quality, desire and scored goals. It was an honor to work with Tuan Hai. He also showed the same characteristics as European players, which is discipline. Tuan Hai is a perfect player, and I believe that after I said these words, he will be even better," commented Mr. Bandovic.
Tuan Hai was praised
The Montenegrin coach avoided mentioning controversial situations in this match. For example, the tackle between Marcao and a Nam Dinh player that Nam Dinh said happened in the penalty area in the second half but referee Le Vu Linh refused to award the away team a penalty.
"I have no opinion about the referee. In football, everyone has to try to do their best, but mistakes are inevitable. There may be unfavorable moments, but the players need to focus on playing until the end of the match. Anyway, I want to congratulate the whole team for the spirit shown in this match," Mr. Bandovic affirmed.
On the other hand, coach Vu Hong Viet of Nam Dinh Club said that the referee did not handle some sensitive situations correctly, leading to anger among Nam Dinh players and fans.
"In this match, I think there were some sensitive situations, the referee blew the whistle incorrectly but I won't comment further because the referee is a part of football.
Nam Dinh fans were upset when they commented that the referee did not give us the correct call. The appearance of VAR will be better for the teams and referees, helping the referees make better decisions, bringing fairness to the clubs," coach Vu Hong Viet emphasized.
Coach Vu Hong Viet also shared the difficulties of Nam Dinh FC's squad before the match on the evening of July 28. He said: "Hendrio was injured in the previous match and could not return in time for this match. After that, Thanh Truong was also injured, and Duc Huy had a muscle strain, so we had to make changes in the midfield. That is the difficulty of Nam Dinh FC". However, Nam Dinh FC's goal for the rest of the season is still to be in the top 3.
