Viettel - HAGL: Difficult for Duc's team
After the departure of a series of pillars at the end of last season, coach Kiatisuk gave opportunities to many young players besides seniors such as Minh Vuong, Van Son, Tuan Anh... But through the first four rounds of the V-League 2023 , they are perfect, whether new faces like Dung Quang Nho, Chau Ngoc Quang or young talents like Thanh Nhan, Quoc Viet, Bao Toan are all trying very hard.
Thirsty for victory, but the mountain town team today does not have the best force. Coach Kiatisuk is likely to have to use young goalkeeper Duong Van Loi to replace Huynh Tuan Linh - the number one goalkeeper is injured. Besides, HAGL has only trained well for more than a month and played two friendly matches, so the players will lack the feeling of playing in an official match.
"Viettel is a strong team with quality internal and external soldiers, so it will definitely be difficult for HAGL," coach Kiatisuk said before the match. "HAGL also prepares well for this comeback, but due to the long break, the players' physical condition and feeling of competition are still lacking. I will choose the best players for the match and hope they will play well to win the game. get points".
Same undefeated as HAGL, but Viettel won three and drew one through the four rounds played. They are also better prepared, both mentally and in terms of the feeling of competition, with a 6-0 victory over Binh Thuan in the first round of the National Cup on April 1, while HAGL only entered this playground from next round.
The biggest disadvantage for Viettel is the absence of striker Geovane Mango due to injury. But in return, they have many quality players like Tien Dung, Hoang Duc, Tan Tai, Duc Chien, Manh Dung, Khuat Van Khang, Jaha...
This season, coach Thach Bao Khanh also helps Viettel make a change when playing openly, attacking diversely, not defending and "sleeping" the opponent like last season. Therefore, if they continue to play with high excitement, the home team promises to cause many difficulties for HAGL.
