Que Ngoc Hai: Ready for the 'special' match at Chi Lang Stadium

(Baonghean.vn) -Que Ngoc Hai is currently the most noticed player in theThe match at Chi Lang Stadium this afternoon (5:00 p.m., May 14) between SLNA and the home team SHB. Da Nang. Because, this is not only an opportunity for Que Ngoc Hai to visit Anh Khoa again but also because this match takes place right before the 23rd birthday of the "soul" of the Nghe An team. We had a quick interview with Que Ngoc Hai before this special match...

-Hello Que Ngoc Hai! First of all, I would like to wish Que Ngoc Hai a happy 23rd birthday (May 15) with lots of joy and happiness, especially always having the best form, playing successfully, contributing significantly to helping SLNA achieve the goals of this season as well as the goals of the Vietnam National Team in the coming time.

-I would like to thank the fans for their special and meaningful congratulations! As I get older, I will try my best to practice and compete better so as not to disappoint the expectations and trust that fans have for Que Ngoc Hai.

-During the past 9 rounds, Que Ngoc Hai has been the player with the best performance in the current SLNA squad. Fans believe that he is the “soul” of the team. What do you think about this?

-I am very grateful for the love that the fans have given me. However, I do not want those compliments to affect my training and performance on the field. Because for me, when I go on the field, I have to play my best to not disappoint the trust of the coaching staff, especially the expectations of the fans. And every success of the team requires the solidarity of the team.

-According to Que Ngoc Hai, how does the fact that Coach Quang Truong was not given direct command in the match against SHB. Da Nang affect SLNA's playing style?

-Any team without the direct guidance of a head coach will be affected. Coach Quang Truong being banned from coaching for two matches will certainly affect the team’s spirit to some extent. However, Coach Quang Truong still follows the team and has guidance in pre-match training and technical meetings. That helps everyone feel more secure.

-In this match, SLNA is still considered the "underdog" compared to SHB. Da Nang. However, just like the match against B. Binh Duong, we played tenaciously to win. So is Que Ngoc Hai ready to lead the team to continue to repeat that at Chi Lang Stadium?

-In football, being underestimated is a very normal thing. The current form of the team is not good. However, the assessment of experts or the media is only outside the field, before the match takes place, the 90 minutes of official play on the field is a different matter. When the ball has not rolled, everything is still ahead. The whole team is very excited and mentally prepared to be ready to go out on the field, try their best for the fans, and achieve the best result in the match this afternoon.

-In the match against FLC Thanh Hoa, SLNA completely “transformed” with a solid defense, a mobile and creative midfield and a more effective attack. According to Que Ngoc Hai, where is the key problem?

-In my opinion, the recent match at Thanh Hoa Stadium can be considered SLNA's best match since the beginning of the season. In addition to the coaching staff's guidance, serious training and preparation, SLNA always has a very high spirit of solidarity, which is an important factor for SLNA to play effectively. Especially, when facing opponents considered to be championship candidates or teams in high form, SLNA's spirit of victory increases. SLNA is also gradually improving its playing style and I believe that it will play better in the future.

-Many people think that the trip to Da Nang is “special” for Que Ngoc Hai. What do you think about this?

-Coming to Da Nang with the SLNA team this time, I contacted and asked about Anh Khoa's health. Through some of Anh Khoa's teammates at SHB Da Nang, I learned that Anh Khoa had recovered quite well. I was very happy about that. Because anyway, I tried to do everything I could so that Anh Khoa could recover soon and return to the field. I hope he will return to football.

And when playing on the field, I am playing for SLNA and will still go out and play my best for the team and for the fans. Of course, I will not avoid the psychology and pressure from the stands. That is a part of this match. Before the match took place, I once again apologized to Anh Khoa and SHB Da Nang fans. Hopefully, everyone will consider that as a thing of the past.

Que Ngoc Hai is ready for the special match this afternoon.

-Does Que Ngoc Hai have any message for the fans who have always supported him during this time?

-I would like to send my most sincere thanks to the fans of the whole country in general, and the fans of Nghe An in particular, who have always supported and believed in me throughout the past time, both in the SLNA shirt and the national team. Que Ngoc Hai will always try to train and compete with all his might for the fans.

-Thank you Que Ngoc Hai! Wishing SLNA a successful match at Chi Lang Stadium!
