(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Peter Samuel played the hero role in SLNA's 1-0 win over Hai Phong and Pham Xuan Manh was the creator, but coach Quang Truong especially praised a player who was playing in the V.League for the first time.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Hai Phong assistant coach Ngo Anh Tuan said: “Today both teams played a good game, both teams tried very hard. In the first half we were unlucky and missed many opportunities. Hai Phong’s defense was not focused in the last minute of the loss.
All foreign players from both teams played quite well. In particular, the two goalkeepers Van Toan and Van Hoang left a lot of impressions. With the heavy rain, both teams had to play long balls, unable to coordinate. This loss put us in a difficult position, there was no other way, Hai Phong had to get 3 points at all costs in the next match at home."

Coach Ngo Quang Truong said: "Bad weather is a disadvantage for both teams. And SLNA and Hai Phong both made a certain effort for their goals. The two goalkeepers were excellent today, including Van Toan and Van Hoang, they saved obvious goals.
Since Pham Xuan Manh returned after a long time due to injury, the defense has gained more confidence. The way he has played in recent matches has proven his form. In SLNA's goal, Xuan Manh's cross was so good that the striker could hardly miss it.

As for Bui Dinh Chau, he is a player who has followed me since I was a child. Although it was his first time playing in V.League, Dinh Chau did not disappoint everyone. He is truly a brave warrior of SLNA.
In the early stages of V.League, there were times when SLNA played well, being in the top group but could not enter group A. However, when the pillars returned, the foreign players integrated better, helping SLNA get good results. We will create trust and opportunities for young players to play more, gradually maturing in the rest of V.League 2020".
