We have been waiting for Diego's moment to explode for quite a while and today he has responded to the trust of Hai Phong's coaching staff and teammates. I hope he can maintain this form for as long as possible.
Players Mac Hong Quan, Nghiem Xuan Tu and Diego Fagan are top class, everyone knows that. The whole team had an extremely excellent match. I dare not judge the performance ofPhan Van Ductoday, but we admit we were very careful with him. He is really a very dangerous factor.”
