Information leaked that Thanh Hoa Club plans to liquidate many veterans

On the morning of June 5, Thanh Hoa Club held an internal meeting to prepare for the away match at Lach Tray Stadium against Hai Phong team in round 12 of V.League 2018. The players were confused and whispered to each other that "the team is about to liquidate 4 players".

It is known that Coach Nguyen Duc Thang suddenly announced the players who are not allowed to be used and may be liquidated by the Thanh team in the second phase of V.League 2018.

The faces on the "black list" of this 42-year-old strategist include vice-captain Mai Tien Thanh, midfielder Hoang Van Binh, center-back Van Bakel and midfielder Le Quoc Phuong.

This is quite surprising because most of the names mentioned above are veterans and have played for a long time at Thanh Hoa Club. However, they have not been used much since coach Nguyen Duc Thang took over the Thanh Hoa team.

Starting from round 7 of V.League 2018, coach Nguyen Duc Thang was invited by the Thanh Hoa team's leadership to lead, to replace his predecessor Marian Mihail who resigned.

However, after 5 rounds, the former captain of Saigon FC has only won 1 match on the field of Quang Ninh team (3-1) in round 9, besides 2 draws and 2 losses.

Explaining the poor results in recent matches, coach Nguyen Duc Thang said that the team was not lucky, in addition to the players' physical strength not being guaranteed.

Especially after the 1-1 draw at Nam Dinh Stadium in round 11, Mr. Thang accused the referee of making an inaccurate call, leading to conceding a goal in a situation that did not deserve a penalty.

In round 12 taking place at 6pm on June 8, Thanh Hoa FC will play away at Lach Tray, the “fire pit” of Hai Phong FC. This is a match that is predicted to be full of difficulties for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team, when the Hai Phong team is on the rise with a 1-0 victory at Saigon FC in the previous round.
