In the press conference, SLNA coach Nguyen Duc Thang said: “After two defeats, we are looking for ways to overcome our defensive weaknesses.

Goalkeeper Vu Hai and goalkeeper Thanh Binh of SHB Da Nang had an excellent match. Otherwise, the match would not have stopped at 4 goals. As for Vu Hai, he suffered an ankle sprain during the warm-up but still endured the pain and played until he was substituted. Goalkeeper Vu Hai plays an important role in the team's current performance. With this injury, SLNA will lose Vu Hai for a week"
The SLNA head coach added: “Before the season started, we determined that we had to play one match at a time. This is the time when SLNA has the opportunity to win medals and I told the players to set the goal of entering the Top 3. Football needs to have goals but we need to strive for each match."
On SHB Da Nang's side, coach Nguyen Minh Phuong accepted this defeat: "SHB Da Nang also created many opportunities but SLNA's goalkeeper played very well. The reason for this defeat came from the fact that SHB Da Nang was missing too many key players. Ha Duc Chinh was injured, Do Merlo also left the team due to heart disease. Ewonde Christian was also injured but still played, Lam Anh Quang had lung problems, Bui Van Long was busy with family matters. Therefore, SHB Da Nang did not have the best players, the loss cannot be blamed on the players."
Winning against SHB Da Nang, SLNA continues to chase S. Khanh Hoa BVN. Tomorrow (September 15), Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will travel to Quang Ninh to prepare for the away match at Cam Pha Stadium against Than Quang Ninh in round 23./.
