HAGL recalls 5 "mercenaries", waiting for Mr. Duc's decision
Five players sent out on loan by HAGL last season, including Chau Ngoc Quang, Dinh Thanh Binh, Le Pham Thanh Long, Luong Hoang Nam and Nguyen Thanh Dong, have just been called back to the Mountain City. They are anxiously awaiting the decision from Mr. Duc, whether they will play for HAGL next season or continue to go to other teams on loan.
At the beginning of the 2018 season, Mr. Duc decided to send 3 members of HAGL including Le Pham Thanh Long, Luong Hoang Nam and Nguyen Thanh Dong to Hai Phong on loan for 1 season. Of these, only small midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long was regularly used by coach Truong Viet Hoang in V.League 2018.
The Quang Ngai player was even called up by coach Park Hang-seo to join the U23 Vietnam team to prepare for the 2018 Asiad. On the other hand, Luong Hoang Nam and Nguyen Thanh Dong did not have many opportunities to show themselves.

By the middle of the 2018 season, HAGL continued to let two more players leave the club on loan, Chau Ngoc Quang and Dinh Thanh Binh. Both joined Viettel Club in the First Division. Both were highly regarded by coach Nguyen Hai Bien and contributed greatly to helping the army team win promotion to the V.League at the end of the season.
Sharing with the press, both Chau Ngoc Quang and Dinh Thanh Binh want to continue playing for Viettel Club next season. Meanwhile, Le Pham Thanh Long also expressed his desire to stay at Hai Phong Club. Only Luong Hoang Nam and Nguyen Thanh Dong want other changes.
Regarding this issue, HAGL Club Head Nguyen Tan Anh had some opinions. Mr. Tan Anh affirmed that the HAGL Board of Directors and Coaching Board are very happy that some of the team's players have improved and made great contributions to the loaned teams, but their future still has to wait for the decision from Mr. Duc.
"HAGL is very happy and pleased when the loaned players have completed their tasks well at the loaned team. They are even happier when they play well and are highly appreciated by the loaned club, especially Ngoc Quang and Thanh Binh who helped Viettel get promoted to V.League 2018. However, whether or not to let these players go is still waiting for Mr. Duc's decision when the 2018 season ends. For now, they will return to HAGL after completing their tasks."
