Binh Dinh-HAGL: Kiatisuk teachers and students find the first victory
* Binh Dink-HAGL: On Metasports at 6.2/7 pm today.
Coach Kiatisuk returns and blows fresh air to help HAGL flourish in the 2021 V League. Mountain City led 9 wins and 1 loss in 12 rounds. However, dreams of bringing the V-League title back to Boligu after 17 years failed when the competition was cancelled due to Covid-19.
Kiatisuk's faculty and students are expected to continue to shine as V-League enters the 2022 season. However, there are still those who are no longer sublimated when opponents adapt and know how to neutralize HAGL's game. After the first four rounds, HAGL still don't know how to win, despite a favourable fixture schedule and a host of unpopular teams. They drew with Nam Dinh, Ha Tinh, Videtel and lost to SLNA. Offensive stars including Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Van Toan, Brandao … also underperformed, leading the team to score in a game-a 2-2 draw with Vettel on March 11.
Just as HAGL was out of form, League V had been rested for nearly four months, allowing the national team and U23s to play. Kiatisuk's teachers and students are expected to use this rest time to find new ways for the team to play and get inspiration for playing football. However, on the same day the game returned, they had to be guests of pacification-an ambitious side that won the title this season.
On the eve of the 2022 season, Pingding spent the most on the transfer field and bought as many as 13 players, including Mike Hongquan, Ruan Chuntu, Raphinson and Jamie Lynch... Although it lost 2-0 at home to Vettel on the opening day, head coach Ruan Desheng's team quickly regained its position and defeated SLNA and Ha Jing for two consecutive games. Binh Dinh is currently fifth but just two points behind No. 1 Haiphong and has played less than one game.
After the rest of the past four months, Binh Dinh is considered stronger. Coach Duc Thang has time to help rookies adapt to the new gameplay he has established. A series of players, such as Duong Thanh Hao or Tran Dinh Trong, who suffered injuries or developed health problems after contracting Covid-19, are also back at their best and ready to fight.
HAGL had fond memories at Guiren Stadium in the first leg when he won the pacification and then won the four friendly heroes of the Guangzhong Emperor Cup. However, when they returned to the V League today, apart from the performance problems at the beginning of the game, they also had a crisis of defenders. Two of the best goalkeepers, Huynh Tuan Linh and Le Van Truong, were both sidelined through injury, resulting in coach Kiatisuk having to use young talent. Duong Van Loi was born in 2004 and Tran Trung Kien was born in 2003 and has never played in the V League. The two goalkeepers promised plenty of difficulties against notorious forwards like Lynch or the pacifying Raphinson.
HAGL also lost "Stone" Kim Dong-soo as the centre-back had to return to South Korea for military service. HAGL has just recruited Park Jun-heong to replace them, but according to the rules of the game, they can't register and use extra foreign soldiers until 24/7.
