Cong Phuong, HAGL get rid of bad luck thanks to... Vietnam team's luck?
For 3 consecutive matches, Cong Phuong and his teammates' team have all lost. However, in the upcoming match against Quang Nam, HAGL is very confident.into a victory after a difficult series of days.
Difficult...
Frankly, even when Cong Phuong and his teammates are at their best, it will be difficult to "shoot down" Quang Nam, despite the home field advantage of Pleiku.
This is true, because in the past few years, this Central team has always been the most annoying opponent in Toyota V-League. Quang Nam of former Vietnam national team head coach Hoang Van Phuc has always been considered the dark horse of the tournament because of its extremely annoying playing style.

Quang Nam is very difficult to make it difficult for HAGL to win. |
Not only does Quang Nam have a tight defensive style of play, but they also have many naturalized players, so sometimes this team plays with all 4 Westerners in the squad.
In addition to this, coach Hoang Van Phuc's team also has prominent names and is currently the current national team player such as Thanh Trung or Huy Hung.
With a strong squad, along with a "brain" that understands domestic football so well like General Phuc, it is not surprising that when asked about the candidates for the championship race, former captain of the Vietnam national team Phan Thanh Hung listed Quang Nam next to Hanoi, or Thanh Hoa...
Technical data to prove it: the Quang Nam team is currently ranked 3rd on the rankings after 10 rounds, only losing to 2 teams ranked higher in terms of secondary index.
With such an opponent, plus Quang Nam's recent record at Pleiku Stadium is too good, being unbeaten in the last 3 seasons is really too difficult for a HAGL with poor form like the present.
But there is the team spirit
Not in good form recently, based on performance. However, except for the defeat to SLNA, which was somewhat "convinced", HAGL's other losses were not too bad.
However, the attack line still wasted too many opportunities and of course, the defense made many mistakes, causing Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Van Thanh... to lose in the last 3 matches.

But HAGL is also confident because of the good fortune from...the national team. |
But, it is very likely that HAGL's streak of bad matches will end in this round when...they have the blessing of a goal from the national team, lifted by their "home team".
Cong Phuong and Van Toan were the authors of 2 goals in 2 matches in which the team only scored once against the opponent - this was the basis for HAGL to escape the winless streak.
That belief is well-founded as Cong Phuong's goals for the U23 Vietnam team in the friendly match with Malaysia in the first days of the new year opened a series of very successful matches for the team from the mountain town.
HAGL has won 3 consecutive matches to escape the relegation zone, and Cong Phuong's team even entered the top in a successful streak since the Nghe An striker and his teammates returned from the national team.
That's why HAGL is very ready to welcome Quang Nam in the next match because simply the luck of the strikers on the mountain town team is... on the rise.
