PVF-CAND falls to the bottom of V.League after 10 rounds, with only 7 points

The 0-4 defeat to Hanoi FC pushed PVF-CAND to the bottom of the table after 10 rounds of V.League. This rookie has 7 points, equal to SLNA, Da Nang, Thanh Hoa and HAGL but is ranked lower because of a lower goal difference. In the context of a depleted force, coach Thach Bao Khanh's team has not been able to find a stable playing rhythm.

PVF-CAND falls to bottom after 10 rounds

The turning point was the heavy defeat against Hanoi FC, a result that sent the team to the bottom of the table. Although they had the same 7 points as the bottom group, the unfavorable goal difference forced PVF-CAND to accept the bottom position – the result of a long series of poor performance.

Loss of form after a bright start

PVF-CAND opened the season with a 2-1 win over SLNA, but the momentum did not last long. In the next 9 games, they only had 4 draws and 5 losses, including a streak of 3 consecutive defeats. Each missed point increased the pressure in the relegation battle.

Passive preparation and the foreign player problem

Last season, PVF-CAND only ranked third in the First Division. The withdrawal of Quang Nam and the rejection of Dong Nai for promotion helped them unexpectedly participate in the V.League, but also put the team in a passive position in terms of preparation. The short time frame prevented the coaching staff from adding to their squad as planned, especially foreign players - a decisive factor in the highest level of competition. Up to now, PVF-CAND's foreign players have not yet made the expected impact.

Personnel loss: 6 players sick

Force difficulty is another reality that coach Thach Bao Khanh has to face. Before the match against The Cong, he admitted:“There are currently six sick players, so we cannot have our best squad. Many key players still have to play even though they have not fully recovered.”Without optimal personnel, PVF-CAND cannot maintain the desired playing style; inexperienced young players also challenge their ability to manage the match.

Selected statistics

• After 10 rounds of V.League: 7 points
• Record: 1 win, 4 draws, 5 losses
• Current streak: 3 consecutive losses
• Opening match: won SLNA 2-1
• Last match: lost to Hanoi FC 0-4

Phase 2: Adjusting personnel, keeping faith in the young generation

However, coach Thach Bao Khanh remains positive with the direction of adjustment in phase 2, focusing on adding foreign players. On the contrary, he supports the sustainable development roadmap by continuing to put faith in the young players, letting them mature through each match. In the relegation race, the simultaneous improvement in performance and personnel will determine PVF-CAND's chances in the first season in V.League.
