Contrasting reactions after the dramatic match: Coach Le Huynh Duc was satisfied despite losing, Coach Ninh Binh was…

On the evening of November 9, in round 11 of V-League 2025-2026, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club led Ninh Binh team 3-1 but lost 3-4. However, coach Le Huynh Duc still seemed satisfied.

Coach Le Huynh Duc: 'We deserved to win'

In the post-match press conference, coach Le Huynh Duc shared: "I think we deserved to win. The players of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club played well and created many opportunities. However, the players were a bit too excited and could not control the situation. If they had more experience, they could have known how to stretch the opponent's formation and the result would have been more favorable."

Coach Le Huynh Duc continued to praise his players: "The Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is improving day by day, hour by hour. I am proud of the players. Some players have improved a lot and have been called up to the national team. The players have caused Ninh Binh Club many difficulties. However, we missed many opportunities while Ninh Binh Club took advantage of them better. That is the difference. Overall, the players performed with good spirit. The players carried out 70-80% of the ideas I gave. It was an unimaginable performance."

Coach Le Huynh Duc repeatedly encouraged his students on the field.

Ninh Binh team coach: We do not give up

On the technical side, coach Albadalejo was pleased: "This was a match where we thought things would be extremely difficult, right before the ball rolled. We scored 4 goals thanks to our warrior spirit and came back. We took advantage of good opportunities."

However, the Spanish coach suddenly made harsh statements: "At this time, there are many things that we have realized and learned lessons after working in the V-League. Ninh Binh Club is an unpleasant team and I think not many people like us.

I don't understand why the main referee in the match against SLNA continued to blow the whistle today."

He continued: "We have done well, but why do people ignore and forget the positive things of Ninh Binh Club? Anyway, we will still maintain the highest determination. We will not give up."

At this time, Ninh Binh Club is at the top of the table with 27 points, 7 points ahead of the second-placed Hanoi Police. However, coach Albadalejo appeared modest: "It's too early to say that we can win the championship. After this, the break will take place and everything will start again from the beginning. We will actively practice in the coming time, making the best effort for the next difficult matches. In the coming time, we will try to improve our attack to score more goals."
