The 13th round will be decisive for the teams competing for a place in the top 8. For Song Lam Nghe An, they need a victory against Hanoi Club to keep their hopes of not being in the top of the relegation race in V.League 2023.

Before the practice session at Hang Day Stadium, on the afternoon of July 1, captain Que Ngoc Hai shared with the media: ''Tomorrow's match is a very important match because it will decide the race for the top 8 in V.League 2023 of Song Lam Nghe An Club. Currently, we have prepared the best plans to face a strong opponent like Hanoi Club''.

Talking about the goal in tomorrow's match, Que Ngoc Hai said: ''Looking at the rankings, we need a win to keep our hopes of entering the top 8 alive. Against a strong opponent and the defending champion, tomorrow's match will certainly be extremely difficult, not to mention we have to play away. But we did not come here to look for a draw and the goal is to get 3 points''.

Assessing the strength of Hanoi Club, when this team has just added a new player (Milan Jevtovic) of very high quality. This Serbian player has played in the European Cup C1, C2. The captain of the Song Lam Nghe An team said: ''I myself have never seen this player play on the field, however, with the goals of Hanoi Club this year, their foreign players will certainly be of very high quality, the defense as well as the entire Song Lam Nghe An team must be wary of Hanoi's new player in tomorrow's match''.



Que Ngoc Hai also sent his thanks to the fans who always came to the stadium to encourage and fire up the team: ''We know that this season the team did not play as expected by the fans, but anyway the fans came to the stadium in all the matches to cheer for the team. Currently there are many young players, so it also takes time for the players to improve. So I also hope that in tomorrow's match, the team will receive enthusiastic cheers from the audience. And no matter how tomorrow's match is, whether the goal is achieved or not, we will still play our best, try our best, so that when the match ends we will not make the Nghe An fans sad''.
