Hanoi FC won, Ho Chi Minh City lost and Mr. Duc was right!

“If Ho Chi Minh City wins, I will lose everything, I dare to affirm that. No one will let that team win the championship. Why? How can they beat the other 5 teams alone, that will never happen. Just ask, in this world, how can 1 person beat 5 people, show me. No matter how skinny you are, 5 skinny people beating 1 fat person will still die.

If Vietnamese football doesn’t stop that, it will never be able to play, you say that so quickly. But the truth is that HAGL has no motivation to strive to win the championship. No motivation at all.”

Actually, the story of one owner of many football teams is not a new issue. But it is still a difficult problem for Vietnamese football. In the past, Xuan Thanh Sai Gon Club also asked VFF and VPF to "handle" fairly the story of one owner of two football teams (Hanoi Club and Da Nang Club) after "missing" the championship in the final round of V.League 2013.

Otherwise, Mr. Thuy will quit football. Said and done, XTSG Club disbanded. A noisy farewell and left many big consequences for the top professional tournament in Vietnam. Then, it was FLC Thanh Hoa's turn to invest in football, they lost hundreds of billions to nurture the hope of winning the V.League but were helpless.

On the day of his retirement from football, Mr. Trinh Van Quyet pointed out the problem of V.League for a long time. It is said that it is because of an "unhealthy" competitive environment of Vietnamese football. Because Thanh Hoa Club is alone.

"We realize that if we continue to invest and even add more money, but if FLC Thanh Hoa is the only one, we certainly cannot win the championship. There is a sensitive issue here, so I cannot say it directly, no matter how hard we try, we cannot hope to win the V.League championship," Mr. Quyet shared with the press.

Before Mr. Duc made the above statement, Ho Chi Minh City Club was leading the V.League 2019 rankings with 8 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses. Scoring an average of 1.3 goals/match, conceding 0.77 goals/match.

After Mr. Duc's statement, Ho Chi Minh City only won 4 out of 10 matches, continuously drawing and losing to the bottom teams. Among them, they also lost 0-2 to Quang Nam, who had just been reinforced by Hoang Vu Samson from Hanoi Club. The rate of conceding goals doubled to 1.5 goals/match and lost the championship to Hanoi Club.

Ho Chi Minh City FC must first blame themselves for not taking advantage of their opportunities, especially in matches against Thanh Hoa, Khanh Hoa, Nam Dinh or Viettel. However, coach Chung Hae Seong's team often faces disadvantages when facing the teams that Mr. Duc alluded to.

However, after Hanoi FC defeated SLNA to win the championship two rounds early, everything became bland and tasteless. Mr. Hien's team won the championship for the 5th time, but clearly, Mr. Duc's previous statements made V.League fans lose interest in the tournament and the way Hanoi FC won the championship.

First, when everything was still unclear, Mr. Duc was correct when he never set a championship goal for HAGL. Because in V.League, if you play selflessly, don't think about winning the championship. At this point, Hanoi has won the championship, so what Mr. Duc said was right!?
