VPF 'blows whistle' on domestic coach criticizing referee

The document sent by VPF to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong stated: " Based on relevant documents at the V.League round 3 match between Viettel and Hong Linh Ha Tinh on November 4 at Hang Day Stadium; at the press conference after the match, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong - head coach of Hong Linh Ha Tinh club had comments related to the match; regarding the refereeing work, Mr. Cong had made statements that were not really correct, judging the incident to be subjective in the refereeing team's management of the match ."

After the match between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Viettel in round 3 of Night Wolf V.League 2023/2024, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong said that his team lost because of the referee. This coach assessed that the referee team was weak and did not ensure professionalism.

VPF reminds coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.

This is a match where VAR technology was used. The main referee in charge of the match was Mr. Tran Ngoc Nho. The VAR referee team was Mr. Mai Xuan Hung and assistant Ngo Duy Lan. Recently, Mr. Ngo Duy Lan also faced strong criticism from another team, Dong A Thanh Hoa Club, and it was still a match with the appearance of Viettel Club.

Also in the above document, VPF wrote: " The tournament organizing committee requests the club to remind Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong: as the head coach of a professional football club, Mr. Cong needs to pay attention when speaking to the media; statements and comments need to be constructive, avoiding causing negative impacts on the reputation and image of the tournament and the club ."

In this match, the intervention of VAR caused Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club to receive a penalty and have a goal denied. This is the reason why Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong cannot be satisfied, especially when the Central team suffered its first defeat of the new season with a score of 0-1.
