Ha Tinh Coach: Blaming the players is unfair

Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong said that blaming Hong Linh Ha Tinh players at this time is unfair if looking at the whole season in which the club strived for 4th place.

Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club (Ha Tinh Club) just lost to Quang Nam Club in round 24 of V-League 22024-2025 with a score of 0-2 at Tam Ky Stadium on the evening of May 27.

Ha Tinh players have been criticized for their lack of enthusiasm in the final rounds. Ha Tinh FC lost to two teams competing to avoid relegation, as expected.

Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong responded: "Blaming or praising is normal in football. However, at this time, if I blame the players, I am not satisfied. Blaming at this time is unfair. Ha Tinh Club does not want to win whoever they want."

"The players did very well. Objectively speaking, we have to praise the whole journey as very good. The team's achievements this year are surprising, but if we want more, we need to invest more," he said.

The coach from Nghe An admitted that Ha Tinh Club will find it difficult to compete for the top 3 after two consecutive losses to Song Lam Nghe An (0-1) in round 23 and Quang Nam Club (0-2) in round 24.

The entire season, Ha Tinh Club only lost one match against Hai Phong Club. However, in the penultimate rounds, the team continuously lost to opponents who needed points to avoid relegation.

"Quang Nam Club deserved to win. They tried harder and were more determined. I don't put too much pressure on the players, I just tell them to do their best to pursue the highest position," said Mr. Cong.

Explaining further about the two losses, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong said that the team is preparing for the next season because according to the schedule, the 2025-2026 tournament will start early in August.

Quang Nam's two goals against Ha Tinh were both scored by striker Charles in the second half.

Coach Van Sy Son said :

"Football is about moments. Quang Nam Club played at its best in the beginning of phase 2. We used to play better than many big teams. My players are not too bad, but they only break through when they are pushed into a corner.

At this time, Quang Nam does not have the right to decide whether to stay in the league. SHB Da Nang Club still has a chance to stay in the league. In round 25, we will meet Nam Dinh, they only need 1 point to be crowned champion."
