Ngo Hoang Thinh: 'I'm ready to come back'
(Baonghean.vn) - In round 6 of V.League 2019, Ngo Hoang Thinh suddenly suffered an ankle injury in the first minutes of the match. He had to sit out the next 3 rounds and up to now, the former SLNA midfielder has fully recovered and is ready for the goal of maintaining the top position of Ho Chi Minh City.
In the 10th minute of the match between Ho Chi Minh City FC and Viettel in round 6, after a dispute, the midfielder from Nghe An suddenly sprained his ankle. With this injury, Hoang Thinh could not continue playing and had to leave the field immediately after. Ho Chi Minh City still won 2-0 against the Northern representative.
However, that victory came at a high price when two key players, Hoang Thinh and Matias, both had to leave the field early due to pain and will miss the next rounds.

As for Hoang Thinh, he had to sit out and watch his teammates play for the next 3 rounds, which significantly affected the performance of Ho Chi Minh City. In the last 3 matches since round 7, coach Chung Hae Seong's team only won 4 points, the only victory they won was against the bottom team Khanh Hoa and in round 9, they only had a 1-1 draw against Quang Nam, who are struggling at the bottom.
Obviously, the absence of Hoang Thinh has clearly affected the performance of the team in the city named after Uncle Ho. And if Hoang Thinh does not return quickly, it will be a difficult problem for the race ahead of Ho Chi Minh City.
However, recently, this midfielder was very confident before the away match predicted to be very difficult at Cua Ong Stadium against Than Quang Ninh in round 10.
“My leg is fine, now I can compete normally. I am very excited to aim for Ho Chi Minh City’s victory against Than Quang Ninh in round 10,” Ngo Hoang Thinh shared.

In this season, Ngo Hoang Thinh has scored 2 goals for TP. HCM. Besides, with his fiery playing style, not afraid of collision, Thinh "bom" is really an important card with Mr. Chung's solid defensive philosophy. With Hoang Thinh, the pressure on the home team's defense is reduced thanks to this midfielder's good fighting ability.
Ho Chi Minh City is still leading the V.League 2019 rankings with 20 points from 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Ho Chi Minh City's next opponent will be Than Quang Ninh, a team that is trying very hard to overcome SLNA to enter the top 3. This match will take place at Cua Ong Stadium at 6pm tomorrow, May 17.
