HAGL is worried ahead of the match against XSKT.Can Tho.

This weekend, HAGL will host XSKT.Can Tho in round 6 of the V-League. Ahead of the match, coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan expressed concern about the strength of his opponent.

In Round 5 of the 2016 V-League, HAGL played away at Hai Phong FC. In this match, the team from Pleiku lost 2-4. Of Hai Phong's goals, three were scored by foreign player Stevens. This shows that HAGL is facing considerable difficulties when dealing with foreign players; of their eight goals conceded so far, seven have been scored by foreign players.

This is also a concern for coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan ahead of the match against XSKT.Can Tho in round 6 of the V-League this weekend. It is known that Can Tho currently possesses two quality foreign players in their attack: Patiyo and Oseni.

Coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan is apprehensive about Patiyo's strength.

Speaking about XSKT.Cần Thơ's two foreign players, HAGL coach Nguyễn Quốc Tuấn said: "Cần Thơ's two foreign players are similar to Hải Phòng's two foreign players, Patiyo and Oseni, they have good physical strength, speed, and aerial ability. I have to learn from experience to come up with the best strategies to play against Cần Thơ. Of the two foreign players, I am most worried about Patiyo. This player is not only strong but also technically skilled; he can also organize the game and decide the match" - quoted from Webthethao.

Ahead of the match against Can Tho, besides finding a tactical approach, coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan also faced personnel difficulties as several HAGL players suffered injuries. According to information from Pleiku, Bui Van Long, Bui Tran Vu, Le Duc Luong, To Vinh Loi, etc., all suffered various problems after the loss to Hai Phong and need to be sidelined for a period of time.

Currently, HAGL only has 4 points after 5 rounds, having won only one match at the beginning of the season, a 5-0 victory against newly promoted Saigon FC (formerly Hanoi FC).
