Why did Xuan Truong prepare before the Hanoi Police?

As a guest at Hang Day, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem did not use Xuan Truong, but put midfielder Biscou Bissainthe on the defensive midfielder, and at the same time pulled Joseph Mpande down to help control the midfield. The duo of foreign soldiers competed well, helping Hai Phong not to lose the central area, kicking on par with a team of many stars such as Doan Van Hau, Vu Van Thanh, Bui Tien Dung, Jhon Clay...

Hai Phong conceded a goal in the 61st minute. The teammate's foul shot accidentally became an assist for Gustavo Henrique to knock down goalkeeper Dinh Trieu. At this time, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem just launched Xuan Truong in the middle, pushing Mpande back to the striker position. This foreign soldier then managed to hold the ball in the penalty area, causing the host's defender to panic and put the ball to the foot of Ho Minh Di. And the player who entered the field at the same time as Xuan Truong finished correctly with a swipe of the ball straight into the net of Patrik Le Giang, equalizing 1-1.

"When central midfielder Le Manh Dung was injured in the previous match, I brought Xuan Truong in, but he was not 100% physically fit, while this position requires strength. So this match I brought Biscou. Kick in first, to dispute and then bring Xuan Truong in. Xuan Truong is strong in launching, but weak in disputes," coach Chu Dinh Nghiem explained after the draw at Hang Day Stadium.

Le Manh Dung suffered a tear in his knee after a phase on Nguyen Huu Tuan's ball, had to leave the field from the 16th minute of the match between Nam Dinh and Hai Phong in the National Cup at Thien Truong Stadium on April 2. That day, Xuan Truong was brought into the field to replace Manh Dung. But the former HAGL midfielder had an unsuccessful performance and also missed a penalty, causing Hai Phong to lose 3-4.

Yesterday, when he substituted in front of the Hanoi Police, Xuan Truong played better in the role of ball rotation, helping Hai Phong to attack and equalize 1-1. This is the first time Xuan Truong has played for the Canton football team in the V-League. He joined Hai Phong, after his contract with HAGL expired at the end of 2022. The Tuyen Quang midfielder then broke his calf in a friendly match against the Hanoi Police on January 12 and took nearly three months to complete. may return.

"This match I am satisfied with Xuan Truong's performance. He entered the field and rotated the ball, helping the team play softer," coach Dinh Nghiem added about Xuan Truong's debut with Hai Phong in V. - League.
