Coach Le Thuy Hai starts work in Binh Duong: Salvaging the "sunken ship"

Today, Coach Le Thuy Hai will officially start his new but old job at B.BD. The immediate task of this veteran coach is to quickly end the consecutive losing streak that has stretched to 6 matches of B.BD.

Since the club was founded, it has been more than ten years, but perhaps never before have Binh Duong football people felt as helpless and in crisis as they do now. This season, the land of Thu is as hot as a fire, but at the headquarters of B.BD, it seems that there has never been a moment when dark clouds have not hung over their heads.

1.Early yesterday morning, the leaders of Becamex IDC Corporation held a meeting to discuss the situation of the B.BD football team. Many reasons for the failure were dissected, but the way out still has to wait for the next episode to resolve.

The most important decision in the meeting was related to personnel issues. After officially firing coach Cho Yoon Hwan, the club's leadership was still determined to invite coach Le Thuy Hai back, despite the fact that Mr. Hai's reputation was now inversely proportional to his age.

Accepting to bring a coach who had led V.HP to relegation last year to Thu land, B.BD clung to the hope that Mr. Hai "lo" who is very suitable for Thu land will pull the team out of the quagmire. There is a bit of idealism when B.BD invites a coach who is about to turn 70 years old back to Binh Duong, but it seems that when in dire straits, there is a way to cling to rather than leaving it to fate.

Another interesting detail about B.BD is that since the club moved to a new, more spacious location in the new city of Binh Duong, the team's performance has plummeted. Previously, when Duong was under coach Ricardo Formosinho, B.BD also moved the club's headquarters from Thuan Giao to under the stands of Binh Stadium. That year, B.BD played poorly and Mr. Formosinho was fired before the season was even halfway through. The club's leadership then decided to move the headquarters back to Thuan Giao.

A B.BD fan half-jokingly said that he did not know how much spiritual factors contributed to the club's failure. Perhaps that is why B.BD's leaders are determined to invite back coach Le Thuy Hai, ignoring all the rumors about this coach when he was still in office in Thu Dau Mot.

The huge shadow of Mr. Hai "lo" in the past is a basis for Binh Duong people to believe that he will have an effective way to put out the fire in the near future.

2.B.BD is now like a house with a leaky roof. Mr. Nguyen Minh Son (Chairman of the Board of Directors of B.BD Club JSC) himself wants to leave because he feels that he must also take responsibility for the club's shameful performance. However, after consultation, the Board of Directors of the Company decided not to accept this resignation and asked Mr. Son to continue in his position.

Another notable change in personnel is that B.BD fired the head of the delegation, Nguyen Van Hiep. Although he held this position at B.BD for a long time, Mr. Hiep's contribution to B.BD was very limited.

In addition, Mr. Hiep and his assistant coaches did not effectively support Coach Cho Yoon Hwan during the team's disappointing streak. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang, who is currently an interpreter and deputy head of the B.Binh Duong football team, has now been assigned the role of interpreter and acting head of the team.

The superiors are taking responsibility, but the players are the ones who play football and directly influence the results. Although B.BD players now shout their determination in front of the club's leaders, they all cannot avoid feeling humiliated after the humiliating defeats.

They were “scrutinized” as the main factor leading to the departure of coach Cho Yoon Hwan, but it is not easy for B.BD players to prove that they are not the direct cause of the Korean coach losing his job. With the mindset of being afraid of losing before each match, B.BD players now have not played yet, which means they have surrendered to the opponent.

Until he can resolve the crisis in his heart, B.BD can hardly hope for the magic of the "old wizard" Le Thuy Hai, who is nearly 70 years old and who commands troops mainly based on experience.
