Van Quyet regrets, implicitly criticizes foreign players as not better than domestic players

"The biggest difference you all saw was that in the second half, we added quality domestic players. I emphasize that Vietnamese football has domestic players who are more than capable of playing in Korea and Japan. The important thing is whether you are confident or not," captain Nguyen Van Quyet shared.

In the first round of the AFC Champions League group stage, fans rated Hanoi FC as playing well for most of the match against Pohang Steelers. However, after conceding an own goal from Damien Le Tallec, the home team faltered and let their opponents score two more goals in less than 10 minutes. Despite great efforts and scoring in the second half, Hanoi FC still lost with a score of 2-4.

This was a match in which Hanoi FC's foreign players did not play well. Coach Bozidar Bandovic used all 6 foreign players from the start, but only Marcao and Tagueu met expectations.

Van Quyet believes that the new foreign players of Hanoi FC need to try to integrate quickly to prove that they deserve to play, because the domestic players of the capital team are of high quality.

"Some foreign players have just arrived at Hanoi FC. I'm a bit sorry that they haven't integrated yet. Through this match, they saw that Vietnamese players are not like what they thought. We showed on the field, and the Korean players also saw it. We played very calmly, playing our own football," Van Quyet shared.

The captain of Hanoi FC regretted that the team made unnecessary mistakes in defense leading to consecutive goals. Being led 0-3 very quickly made the capital team fall apart. However, Hanoi FC's performance in the second half brought much hope for the next match.

This male player expressed regret about the result of today's match, the team made very basic mistakes. After today's match, Hanoi FC must focus more. The coaching staff must look for good players to aim for the upcoming matches.

"In a Champions League match, we played evenly, sometimes overwhelmingly. I feel a bit sorry for Hanoi FC. The first match after many years of returning to the tournament, scoring a goal was the team's unyielding effort. I hope the players will soon integrate and continue to strive," Van Quyet said.
