Coach Tai Em said he also watched the World Cup to learn from the national teams competing in Russia. And after the match between Iceland and Argentina, where the famous Messi's team was held to a 1-1 draw by their opponents, Coach Tai Em had a reasonable strategy to overcome Hanoi.
“Yesterday I watched the match between Argentina and Iceland at the 2018 World Cup, I saw that Hanoi FC is a strong team like Argentina and we are just an underdog Iceland.Iceland's style of play is to defend in large numbers and counterattack quickly. I have also learned this style of play and applied it to my players in today's match against Hanoi FC. It certainly worked," said coach Tai Em with a big smile.
What Tai Em did not expect was that his team defeated the top club with a very convincing result, even more than Iceland had to struggle to hold Messi's team to a 1-1 draw the night before. The score of 5-2, including 4 goals from Da Sylva, was unbelievable to many people and even the coach from Long An. For the second time in V-League 2018 after Tien Linh of B.Binh Duong, a player scored 4 goals in 1 match.

Coach Tai Em said: “Saigon played very well today, if we played like this in the first leg, we wouldn’t be in the bottom half of the rankings like now. Especially foreign player Da Sylva had a great performance with a “poker” goal.
After returning, Ngoc Duy still showed his role as conductor, he is the one who influences the playing style of Saigon FC. Ngoc Duy's return helps our team play better."
