So worried, HAGL!

TPO - The defeat against Becamex TPHCM right in Pleiku signals a stormy season ahead for Mr. Duc's team. HAGL needs support for the increasingly fierce competition of V.League, but it seems they are struggling.

This is clearly shown through the level of investment in the team before the new season. While other clubs are bustling and noisy with contracts coming and going, HAGL is quite quiet. This is not often seen in the mountain town team, especially when on their technical bench there is Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh, a frequent spokesperson.

Yesterday, Mr. Thanh sat silently on his chair watching HAGL lose 0-3 to Becamex TPHCM right in Pleiku. HAGL had some exciting first minutes, but then Becamex TPHCM, although not needing to attack much, still unleashed sharp sword blows.

HAGL's immaturity was evident in their playing style, and when they met an "old" opponent like Becamex TPHCM, they easily fell apart. It's hard to blame HAGL because after losing iconic faces like Cong Phuong, Luong Xuan Truong, Van Toan or Tuan Anh, they just said goodbye to Minh Vuong. Round 1 of LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 took place with mixed emotions, both sadness and joy.

This year is a tough tournament, Coach Vu Tien Thanh!

If rookies like PVF-CAND and Ninh Binh made a mark, then Mr. Hien's Hanoi also disappointed when they lost on the field of Ho Chi Minh City Police.

But for HAGL, it is not only sadness but also worry as ahead, a long season signals many storms waiting.

Regardless of the ups and downs of Vietnamese football, and regardless of whether HAGL is at its peak or at its lowest, they are still a team that receives a lot of love from fans and Mr. Duc is still a part of Vietnamese football history. Hopefully, after the defeat in Pleiku, HAGL will rise up with the inner strength and will of a new young team.
