Mr. Huu Thang, what are you waiting for?
(Baonghean.vn) - Until now, people still do not understand why coach Toshiya Miura is still in office when Ho Chi Minh City Club has not known victory in 12 matches. Mr. Thang took over the position of Club President since round 7 and has made almost no move?
At the beginning of the 2018 V.League season, Ho Chi Minh City FC, under the command of coach Toshiya Miura, won 3 out of 5 matches. Fans of the team named after Uncle Ho once dreamed of a top 3 position when Mr. Cong Vinh "changed" the coaching staff and players in a tycoon-like manner, throwing money out the window.
Lost without understanding why?
But the joy was short-lived, as fans of Ho Chi Minh City Club were continuously disappointed with the team's results and the turmoil of the sponsor and acting chairman Le Cong Vinh.
The clearest evidence is that the number of spectators coming to Thong Nhat Stadium to watch has gradually decreased over time, from 7,000 people in the first match to only 2,000 in the most recent match. After 12 rounds, Ho Chi Minh City Club has not known the taste of victory, they drew 6 and lost 6 matches, falling to the last position on the rankings.
According to coach Miura, the main reason for conceding goals is "due to the referee's unfair treatment" or "players constantly being injured or receiving cards".

In fact, after Phi Son returned from injury, Ho Chi Minh City FC also had certain reinforcements. First was Khmer-origin center-back Diep Hoai Xuan who left Hai Phong to join the Thong Nhat Stadium team. Next were Huynh Kesley Alves, Matias Nicolas Jadue Gonzalez, Gonzalo, who are considered foreign players whose age affects their physical strength but are very familiar with Vietnamese football.
No one thought that with a core of former national players such as Dinh Luat, Phi Son, Van Thuan, Ngoc Duc, Ho Chi Minh City Club would play so poorly. The climax was the match at Thong Nhat Stadium with direct opponent Nam Dinh, although Matias scored early, Minh Trung was sent off at the end of the second half, creating conditions for the away team to score 2 consecutive goals.
Thorns await
Standing at the bottom of the rankings, coach Toshiya Miura has to continuously face tough opponents such as Hanoi (away), SHB.Da Nang, Than Quang Ninh (home) with a team that has no strategy, what will be the fate of the Thong Nhat Stadium team?

Playing extremely tough, no player in charge of scoring, midfield can't hold the ball, so how can Ho Chi Minh City Club get 3 points?
The Ho Chi Minh City defense, which consists of former national team players, has conceded 26 goals, “the offense has not yet been done but the defense has already broken through”, everyone can see that except Mr. Miura. So why is Mr. Huu Thang still hesitating to fire the Japanese coach before it is too late?
The audience at Thong Nhat Stadium has "waved the white flag", the number of spectators at the beginning of the season has dropped from 7,000 people to 2,000 and even less, if Huu Thang had not made a decision to save the declining team.
