Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is fed up with the referee

The match at Hang Day Stadium was tense, with 27 foul situations, of which 16 belonged to Viettel. Coach Duc Thang stood outside the boundary line many times, looked at the line referee and shouted "look at the field to see the collision", or commented to the referee and had to receive a yellow card. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam is the captain, has the right to talk to the referee, but when he expresses his opinion in the situation of a teammate being cut down in the 85th minute, he must also receive a card. At the end of the match, Nghiem Xuan Tu and Huynh Tien Dat on the away side had to receive cards because of the reaction.

"I don't dare to judge the referees anymore. And I'm bored," said Mr. Thang with a bored voice after the 0-0 draw at Hang Day Stadium, when asked about the referee. "I also don't talk about the yellow cards that the referee gives after the game. Talk about it, boring."

In this match, Viettel is thirsty for victory to take the top spot. They pushed up the attacking formation, they controlled the ball 55%, finished 17 shots, including 10 in the right direction, but failed to score. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam played brilliantly with a series of saves. Only once did he give up when the opponent threw the ball over him in the 42nd minute, but his teammate Marlon rushed to break it right on the goal line.

"I am satisfied when the defense plays well - something the team did not do in the previous matches. In this match, they focused on playing against an opponent with a very strong attack. But Binh Dinh's attack today was difficult. . I expected foreign duo Rafaelson and Jermie Lynch in the second half, but injury prevented them from being in good shape, "said coach Duc Thang.

Binh Dinh started with two domestic strikers Huynh Tien Dat and Ha Duc Chinh, but the duo did not leave any mark when facing the defense under the command of Bui Tien Dung. In the second half, foreign strikers entered the field. But Lynch faintly moved, then had to leave the field to make way for Ly Cong Hoang Anh. Rafaelson was also ineffective. In the whole match, Binh Dinh only finished three times.

Draw 0-0, Binh Dinh got the first score in phase II, after consecutively losing to Hanoi FC 2-4, Hanoi Police 0-1 and Thanh Hoa 0-2. But coach Duc Thang's army was last among the eight teams and had run out of chances to win.

Meanwhile, Viettel missed the opportunity to go to the top of the table. They have the same 29 points as Hanoi FC and Thanh Hoa, but played more than one match.

"I am not satisfied with the score 0-0, but satisfied with the way the team played," Viettel coach Thach Bao Khanh said after the match. "We had possession of the ball, created many chances but were unlucky to not score. The rain also affected the quality of the game as well as the way we played. However, my players played with determination and Attachment".

Mr. Khanh also said that the team's goal is to finish the V-League in the top three, but if given the opportunity, they will still race for the championship.

Viettel's next match as a guest of Thanh Hoa on August 6.
