Coach Van Sy's "quirky" style

Yesterday afternoon, V.NB defeated HN.T&T right on their home ground at Hang Day Stadium, enjoying their first victory in the 2014 V-League. V.NB's approach and victory defied pre-match predictions from experts, as few expected the visiting team to dare to launch an early attack on the defending champions.

Coach Van Sy made adjustments that helped his players perform exceptionally well.

Before the match at Hang Day Stadium, V.NB had gone through the first two rounds without a win (drawing with Dong Nai, losing to Than.QN) while HN.T&T had consecutively "destroyed" B.BD and HA.GL. Therefore, many believed that coach Nguyen Van Sy would instruct his team to adopt a defensive strategy when playing away against an opponent with the most formidable attack in the first two rounds of the season.

However, what the V.NB players showed after the opening whistle surprised everyone. With the attacking trio of Kavin, Patiyo, and Van Ta, the visiting team did not hesitate to launch an early offensive against HN.T&T. And V.NB's "aggressiveness" achieved maximum effectiveness, helping them score three goals against the home team at Hang Day Stadium in the first half. Even HN.T&T's coach, Phan Thanh Hung, admitted: "We started slower than V.NB."

Clearly, the approach of the team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu caught HN.T&T offside, and while the defending champions needed time to get into their stride, they paid a heavy price with their first defeat in their journey to defend their V-League title. As for V.NB, daring to launch an early attack against HN.T&T while playing away from home demonstrated the shrewdness of coach Van Sy, as he understood his players' capabilities better than anyone else. Coach Sy not only believed his team was capable of defeating their opponent but also knew how to instill that belief into every run and every pass of the V.NB players.

Playing explosively against HN.T&T to secure their first victory in the 2014 V-League, V.NB's belief in their potential to climb higher in the standings seems to have found an ideal boost.
