As the head coach, I take full responsibility for losing three consecutive matches. Any team in the bottom group will have to try, and SLNA is the same. I know it will be difficult, but SLNA must try in the remaining five rounds of phase 1."
Talking about the match with TP. HCM, Mr. Truong added: “In the first half, we had a normal game with them. Everything only changed when TP. HCM sent in foreign players.
I had expected that their three foreign players would come on in the second half. The presence of foreign players was different. We tried to show our strength but TP. HCM was much stronger. I tried to convey the spirit to the players on the field. But it was true that TP. HCM was at a higher level in this match."
