“Any coach is the same, when the season comes, adding players is very necessary, to have good results, the first thing is to have good players. Whether a team can apply the tactics set out by the coach or not depends on the players, so we really hope to recruit many good players in the new season,” Coach Duc Thang added.

In the upcoming season, it can be said that SLNA is facing some difficulties with sponsors. This also affects the team's preparation for the new season.
The coach born in 1976 said: “The contract with Bac A Bank ended in December, the new sponsor has not signed yet, so SLNA is still having difficulties with sponsorship. We want to play in the Viettel tournament or try out foreign players but we do not have the funds, so SLNA is currently passive. Only when the sponsor signs and transfers the money will we have the funds to complete the contract with the players as well as prepare for the new season.”/.
