(Baonghean.vn) - Becamex Binh Duong is flying high on the V.League rankings. This achievement is largely due to coach Le Huynh Duc, when the former excellent striker of the Vietnam National Team has provided reasonable tactics for the team from Thu Dau Mot.

This weekend, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team will have a difficult away trip to Binh Duong Stadium. In the context that the gap with the bottom group has been significantly narrowed,Lam River Nghe Anmust have at least 1 point to temporarily feel secure before the return leg begins.

To be able to do this, the Nghe team must pay special attention to the traps that the home team Becamex Binh Duong is setting up to wait for its prey to fall into its net. In the 7 wins that coach Le Huynh Duc and his team have had in the V.League, there were 4 wins with a score of 1-0.

Looking at these results, it is easy to see that this is the result of the tight defense and quick counterattack tactics that coach Le Huynh Duc brought to the team of Thu. This is also the trap of Becamex Binh Duong for all opponents.

It is said to be a trap because, in terms of force, Becamex Binh Duong is a financially strong team and has invested a lot of money to have quality players. Those are Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Hai Huy or Vo Minh Trong... these are all players who have played or are playing for the Vietnam National Team. Along with that are good foreign players such as Janclesio Almeida, Atshimene Charles and Onoja Joseph. With these individuals, Becamex Binh Duong can completely play on par with or even overwhelm weaker teams.

However, in the past stages of V.League 2023/2024, coach Le Huynh Duc and his team often accepted to "concede" and play as "underdogs". This made the opponents mistakenly think that they had a chance to earn all 3 points against Becamex Binh Duong. They raised their squad, controlled the game and attacked enthusiastically, only to fall into the trap that the team from Thu Dau Mot had set. In turn, Dong A Thanh Hoa, The Cong Viettel and Hong Linh Ha Tinh all fell to this scenario.

In particular, coach Le Huynh Duc and his team were extremely dangerous in the second half. This was the time when Becamex Binh Duong unleashed their full strength after a cautious first half. 11/13 goals of the team from the capital came in the second half of the match, including many goals scored after the 70th minute, when the opponent was exhausted after failing to dominate. It can be said that coach Le Huynh Duc calculated very specifically to be able to deliver finishing blows to the opponent.

However, this tactic has not always been effective for Becamex Binh Duong. Most recently, they had to lose to Ho Chi Minh City Club after conceding a goal in the first half. Vo Huy Toan's goal ruined the plans set out by coach Le Huynh Duc.

Similarly, Quang Hai's early goal also helped Hanoi Police play easier against the team from Thu Dau Mot. Or the defensive counter-attacking style of Hanoi Club in a game with fewer players helped them get all 3 points right on Binh Duong field. It can be said that these are typical examples toCoach Phan Nhu ThuatRefer to come up with reasonable tactical options in the difficult away trip to Binh Duong Stadium.

Hopefully, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team will have an excellent match to have a safe distance from the relegation group at the end of the first leg of V.League.

The match between Becamex Binh Duong and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 6:00 p.m. on March 9 at Binh Duong Stadium.
