Coach Cong Phuong confirmed the truth of the story about HAGL buying Bui Tien Dung
Responding to the press about the information that HAGL has expressed interest in buying goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung from FLC Thanh Hoa, Coach Duong Minh Ninh said that this matter will be discussed after the 2018 season?
On the afternoon of September 15, HAGL had a practice session at Thong Nhat Stadium to prepare for the match against the host Ho Chi Minh City. Before this encounter, HAGL was missing many key players such as the duo Nguyen Van Toan and Zeba Josip, because both had received 3 yellow cards.

Regarding the goalkeeper position of HAGL, coach Duong Minh Ninh said that goalkeeper Van Truong was injured, and Van Tien had a slight pain so he only practiced outside, while the number 3 goalkeeper of the mountain town team, Rmah Suo, practiced with his teammates.
In addition to the names mentioned above, HAGL also does not have the service of central midfielder Luong Xuan Truong. Currently, the midfielder from Tuyen Quang is being allowed by the club's leadership to rest at home after surgery for nasal inflammation. It is expected that Xuan Truong will be able to practice with HAGL again in about 10 days.
Talking about the players' spirit after ASIAD 2018 and especially the information about recruiting goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung, coach Duong Minh Ninh said: "In round 21, Thanh Hoa played at Pleiku Stadium, and we met Bui Tien Dung by chance at Cong Phuong's coffee shop, but we had no intention after that meeting. As for whether HAGL intends to recruit a goalkeeper, we will probably discuss it after this season ends.

The U23 Vietnam players have just returned from ASIAD 2018 in good health. This is an extremely difficult time for HAGL and the goal of reaching the top of the rankings is getting further and further away from us. However, we will still take the field with the highest determination in the last 5 rounds."
The match between Ho Chi Minh City and HAGL will take place at 6:00 p.m. on September 16 at Thong Nhat Stadium.
