'Kiatisak did not copy Coach Park's tactics'; Revealed reason why Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong sat on the bench

"Kiatisak did not copy Park Hang-seo's tactics"

Former coach of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Pham Minh Duc affirmed that the strategy that Kiatisak Senamuang built for HAGL did not come from the idea of ​​theCoach Park Hang-seo.

Kiatisak is smoothly operating the 3-center-back formation (specifically 3-5-2) for HAGL. Many fans of HAGL and the Vietnam National Team feel happy when many national players of this club achieve very high performance in 2 similar formations, between Kiatisak and Coach Park Hang-seo.

Analyzing this diagram, Mr. Pham Minh Duc - former coach of Hong Linh Ha Tinh said: "I am impressed withKiatisak. He was a good player in the past and now he is a strange coach. He returned at the right time when the HAGL players reached their peak. In terms of tactics, HAGL always has 3 central defenders who actively defend. HAGL's two wings are very good, constantly attacking. Kiatisak has built a formidable HAGL.

Coach Park Hang-seo met with Kiatisak.

Then the forward line has Brandao, Van Toan combined with Cong Phuong playing as attacking midfielders. They are players who are capable of deciding the match. But I must emphasize that since Kiatisak was a player and I played for HAGL, this team has played with 3 central defenders. At that time, the formation could be 3-5-2, 3-4-1-2. Sometimes, we played with 2 pillars including Sakda and Quoc Vuong. Sometimes we played with only 1 holding midfielder, Sakda. I think Kiatisak applied that model and felt it was suitable, not copying from Coach Park Hang-seo.

The most important thing is the people. When defending, HAGL is also more confident and focused than in previous years."

Atletico blew their chance of winning the championship

Early morning of April 26 (Hanoi time),Atletico Madridcontinued to stumble in the championship race when losing to Athletic Bilbao at San Mames with a score of 1-2 in round 32 of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid's inconsistent form, dropping four points in their last five La Liga games, has put the club in a dangerous position. Diego Simeone's side once led the table by a large margin, but are now being overtaken by Barca and Real Madrid in the final stages.

A 1-2 defeat to Bilbao once again puts Atletico in danger of losing the championship. They still lead the rankings with 73 points, 2 points ahead of Barca but have played 1 more game. This means that if coach Ronald Koeman and his team maintain their winning streak, the Camp Nou team will be crowned champions.

In the match on the evening of April 25 (Hanoi time), Barca came back from behind against Villarreal thanks to a double from Antoine Griezmann. After the match, the French striker affirmed that the La Liga championship is in Barca's hands if they win all 6 remaining matches of the season.

On May 8, Barca will face Atletico at Camp Nou. This is considered a 6-point match, which will decide the championship. In theory, Real Madrid and Sevilla are also in the race for the La Liga title. However, Barca is the team with the advantage and is in better form.

If they miss out on the title, Atletico can only blame themselves for stumbling at crucial moments.

The reason why Cong Phuong and Luong Xuan Truong sat on the bench in the National Cup was revealed.

Coach Kiatisuk Senamuang has kept most of his key players.HAGLon the bench in the match against An Giang in the first round of the Bamboo Airways National Cup 2021.

On the Pleiku field on April 24, HAGL entered the match with only central defender Huu Tuan in the first team. The remaining ten positions were all reserve players. Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Luong Xuan Truong… and other pillars of the mountain town team were all on the sidelines.

Coach Kiatisuk Senamuang is taking HAGL to the top in LS V-League 2021.

In fact, most of the V-League representatives used many reserve players in the first round of the National Cup. This is the reason why more than half of the V-League teams lost to First Division teams, such as Binh Duong, SLNA or Binh Dinh, Thanh Hoa. However, there is another reason why Coach Kiatisuk was forced to use a starting lineup of all reserve players, which is that HAGL had up to 7 players who had to be vaccinated.Covid-19 vaccinationbecause he is on the list of expected Vietnamese team.

News from HAGL said: “After the injection, some players had pain or a slight fever due to the reaction of the medicine. Therefore, the team could not practice as usual. Coach Kiatisuk therefore had to let most of the main players sit on the bench for the match against An Giang.”
