Coach Vu Hong Viet frankly admitted responsibility after losing to Song Lam Nghe An

At the beginning of the interview, Mr. Vu Hong Viet admitted that his team's performance was very disappointing: "In today's match, the whole team did not play well. We only showed some of our playing style in the first 20 minutes of the first half, but after that the players' spirit clearly decreased. This was my fault for not being able to boost the team's spirit and maintain focus for most of the remaining time of the match."

The coach also assessed that some individuals in the team still tried their best, but could not make a difference: "There are players who have still completed their tasks well in previous matches, but today they could not show their true abilities. Unfortunately, they could not create the necessary situations to create or score goals to turn the situation around."

When asked about his opponents, coach Vu Hong Viet praised some outstanding individuals on his side.Lam River Nghe An: “I highly appreciate striker Olaha and midfielder Khac Ngoc of SLNA. They had a big influence on the playing style and made a difference in this match. It was those factors that helped SLNA exploit our weaknesses well.”

Referring to the spirit of his students, Mr. Viet could not hide his concern: “After the first goal, the team's spirit dropped very quickly. The players could hardly maintain the confidence and determination they had when they entered the game. This is really a big problem that I have to take seriously. I take full responsibility and will soon have solutions to get the team back on track.”

At the end of the press conference, the head coach of Nam Dinh Steel Blue once again emphasized: “We lost because our spirit and cohesion were not enough. This is something that must be overcome immediately, otherwise it will be very difficult to defend the title. This match is a valuable lesson for the whole team.”
