When will HAGL stop playing the victim?

After the loss to Ha Tinh at Pleiku Stadium on the evening of April 18, Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh rushed straight into the referees' locker room with some unpleasant words, even considered... a market.

It is not uncommon for teams to react on the field, or for coaches to make angry statements after the match, but it is not common, or even very rare, for them to enter the referees' private area.

It is normal for Mr. Vu Tien Thanh or the HAGL team leader to react to the situation of a goal not being recognized, but certainly the action after the match was really offensive and made everyone feel disappointed.

HAGL often finds reasons to blame for failures on the field.

After the 19th round, what Mr. Duc's team left behind in the V-League so far is not expertise or position on the rankings, but the story of "dirty play" being one of the most in the tournament.

HAGL is no longer naive and afraid of… collisions like before, when in recent seasons the team from the mountain town has played very tough and used quite a few tricks, including the story of wasting time after taking the lead or having favorable results.

Coach Polking and Nguyen Filip once complained about the fact that the team from the mountain town did not play football. Specifically, the former captain of the Thai team sarcastically said after the match in round 7 in Pleiku: "Ashamed of HAGL's victory by wasting time".

This is not the first time in the current season that HAGL has turned on reaction mode and played the role of “victim” after a defeat. The team from the Mountain City is among the few clubs that always find reasons to blame if they do not achieve favorable results, from the field, the referees, and even the pride of “youth football”.

Sometimes, Mr. Duc's team is indeed the real victim, but most of the times the negative reactions are inaccurate, so they have to receive disciplinary action from the Organizing Committee.

The excessive praise of the beautiful, clean playing style… of the Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong generation on social networks makes HAGL and the people of this team always think that they are the real victims. Meanwhile, as mentioned, not all of HAGL’s reactions are correct.

And just like that, HAGL from a national football team is becoming very mediocre not only in terms of achievements but also in the way they behave after each defeat. So it is really a pity for the once famous V-League champion.
