Coach Kiatisak explains the surprising reason why HAGL cannot use new foreign players yet.

"In the technical meeting, the organizers said that we were qualified to let 3 foreign players play. But today, the supervisor reported that Cley was not allowed to play. We should have registered Cley to play before 3 p.m. yesterday (November 2), but it was not until noon today that the procedures were completed. We have to follow the rules," coach Kiatisak Senamuang shared in the post-match press conference.

Before the match, Coach Kiatisak had named Jhon Cley, a new player of HAGL, in the starting lineup. However, this striker was not allowed to play. This affected HAGL's tactical calculations.

The Thai strategist said: "The coaching staff was passive, surprised and had to change tactics. We wanted to play with a 3-5-2 formation with Jhon Cley because we knew that Binh Dinh Club would play 3-4-3, but the plan failed. After that, we conceded 3 goals and the players lost motivation to play. We came back stronger in the second half, but there was not enough time to equalize. But HAGL must look forward, waiting for Jhon Cley to practice and integrate with the team."

When recruiting Jhon Cley, HAGL had to sell off center-back Pape Diakite, an experienced player who also performed well. This led to the mountain town team's defense playing loosely in the loss to Binh Dinh Club.

Coach Kiatisak also explained his decision to choose this player: "We have to attack more. Therefore, HAGL chose Jhon Cley. We wanted him to support Martin. But unfortunately, Martin got injured so HAGL had to change tactics. After this match, we have to prepare everything again."

Besides, the HAGL captain also praised his opponent: "Binh Dinh Club played very well. They have many experienced players, and they play the ball smoothly. Both foreign and domestic players play well. We respect this team very much."

On the other side of the battle line, Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy expressed his satisfaction: "We have prepared very carefully for this match. After losing to Binh Duong Club at home, we analyzed a lot and played with determination in welcoming HAGL. The result was not beyond Binh Dinh Club's expectations."
