Ha NoiAfter Binh Duong lost 0-3 in round 8 of the V-League, coach Le Huynh Duc said that CAHN played completely differently and more actively after firing coach Gong Oh-kyun.
After four draws and losses, CAHN decided to part ways with Coach Gong and appointed Technical Director Tran Tien Dai to take temporary charge. Taking on a team that was in high form, the defending champion still played impressively, winning 3-0 despite playing without players from the 62nd minute due to Junior Jani's red card.
CAHN opened the score in the 16th minute thanks to Junior Jani's hooking kick. In the 54th minute, Nguyen Quang Hai doubled the gap with a curling shot from outside the penalty area. In the 85th minute, substitute Ho Tan Tai scored the ball from close range, setting the score for CAHN.
When asked about the change in opponent CAHN after changing champions, coach Le Huynh Duc commented: "CAHN's people are still the same, but they have completely changed. Players play with more determination."
According to the Ho Chi Minh City coach, CAHN is stronger and has many better players, but he also believes that Binh Duong - the team that just made a strong impression with two consecutive home wins against Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa - will lose. by external and personal conditions. He said: "Binh Duong only has four days off, but it's cold out here. The players were not familiar with the field, the ball moved quickly, leading to us making many wrong passes. Binh Duong also entered the game the wrong way. We had two or three opportunities but couldn't take advantage of them."
This match coach Tran Tien Dai of CAHN did not hold a press conference because he received a red card for his reaction. After the match, when asked about this incident, assistant Azmin Aziz said: "It's football, I can't say anything."
Mr. Dai only took temporary charge in the match against Binh Duong, before ceding his seat to coach Mano Polking, who will sign a contract and debut on January 5, 1. When asked about CAHN's complete change after changing the coach, Mr. Aziz also answered briefly: "This is football, right people, right time."
Mr. Aziz has been assigned many times by CAHN to give interviews after the match and always has a familiar sentence like "can't answer this question because I don't have enough authority".
Defeating Binh Duong, CAHN has 12 points, four points behind leader Nam Dinh but has played one more match. After this round, the Night Wolf V-League 2023-2024 national championship will take a two-month break for the 2023 Asian Cup team.
