Mr. Pham Thanh Hung: 'Who says Than Quang Ninh is afraid of winning the V-League'
Mr. Pham Thanh Hung laughed out loud when we asked about Than Quang Ninh's championship chances: 'If V-League ends right now, it's fine'.
That was of course a joke. Mr. Pham Thanh Hung, Chairman of Than Quang Ninh Club, knows best how far his team's potential to lead the V-League goes.
However, the team leader also frankly stated that there is no such thing as Than Quang Ninh being afraid of winning the championship as some rumors say. “Who says we are afraid of winning the championship? Everyone wants to win the championship, but Than Quang Ninh is very difficult, we have to look at reality,” said Mr. Pham Thanh Hung.
At the beginning of the season, we interviewed Mr. Hung, the president of the most generous football team in the Gulf of Tonkin, who said he would try his best to get the team into the top 3 this season.
Suddenly, with only 3 more matches to decide who will be the champion, Than Quang Ninh rose to the first position, a result that neither the coaching staff nor the players had ever thought of. However, facing the current ranking position, Mr. Pham Thanh Hung was still confident: "Our team is mostly due to luck, if not for luck, it certainly would not be like this."

“We have 3 final matches, we need to get at least 7 points to be considered the winner. But the 3 opponents, Thanh Hoa, Hanoi T&T, Khanh Hoa, are all big teams. The chance of winning 2 matches and drawing 1 match is very difficult,” Mr. Pham Thanh Hung analyzed.
The club's president, who is currently holding 43 points on the rankings (only 2 points ahead of Thanh Hoa and Ha Noi T&T), highly appreciates all 3 opponents that the team will meet in turn in the next 3 rounds. Winning any team is a miracle. "Only when we win both Thanh Hoa and Ha Noi T&T, will we dare to think about the cup, but not now. Don't let yourself fly up to the clouds like that, we always tell each other to keep our feet on the ground, see the road clearly, play solidly in each match, and try our best," said Mr. Hung.
Will Than Quang Ninh create a shock in V-League 2016? |
On September 1, Than Quang Ninh moved to Thanh Hoa, Mr. Pham Thanh Hung will also be present at the stadium to encourage and motivate the players. He said that he will play in all the remaining 3 matches.
“What I feel most secure about right now is that the players are in good form. Their physical and mental health are good. Coach Phan Thanh Hung and his players have worked well together. I trust the players. I always tell them to try their best, take advantage of every small opportunity, and not to be negligent,” Chairman Pham confided.
“So, far away, if Than Quang Ninh wins the V-League Cup again this season, have you thought about what to reward your players with?”, we asked jokingly. The team owner laughed: “The rose is still far away. We are still walking on thorns.”
Chairman of Than Quang Ninh denies information that the club is in the hands of Mr. Hien Public opinion believes that Than Quang Ninh is about to become the 5th team in V-League under the hands of Mr. Hien. Chairman Pham Thanh Hung denied this news. The source of this suspicion is that some people believe that SHB bank of Mr. Hien (Mr. Do Quang Hien) sponsored a large amount of money for Than Quang Ninh in the 2016 season, the SHB logo is also on the players' shirts. However, the head of the team said that this is just baseless information. “I affirm that this is not true. This is completely false information. There is no way that Than Quang Ninh will be Mr. Hien’s team,” said Mr. Pham Thanh Hung. “I would like to clarify that SHB Bank only has one branch in Quang Ninh. This bank branch is doing well, so it has donated a portion of the money to Quang Ninh province. The province will use this money to re-sponsor the football team. SHB Quang Ninh also does not send it directly to Than Quang Ninh Club,” said Mr. Pham Thanh Hung. |
'If the stone is good or beautiful, you don't have to worry about losing customers' Quang Ninh officially became the host of the final round of the Thanh Nien Newspaper National U.21 Football Tournament taking place from October 23 to November 2. The matches will take place at Cam Pha Stadium and Cua Ong Secondary Stadium. Mr. Pham Thanh Hung said that the national U.21 tournament has always been supported by the provincial party committee, people's council and all classes of people in Quang Ninh: "From V-league, we have built the identity of fans, passionate, enthusiastic but fair-play. That is the reason why we continuously receive awards for the fan club. In the upcoming Thanh Nien Newspaper National U.21 Tournament, I also believe that the audience of the mining land will be enthusiastic to come to the stadium like that. If we play well and play beautifully, the audience will never turn their backs on us, whether it is the national championship or the youth tournament". |
