Center back Que Ngoc Hai: The Hanoi player I'm most wary of is already in France.

Speaking at the press conference before the match, SLNA coach Nguyen Huy Hoang said:“For me, every time I come to Hang Day Stadium is a memorable experience. After retiring from football, from my position as assistant to head coach, the matches at Hang Day Stadium have always brought me good experiences. I believe in the upcoming match, with the tense nature of the match, this match promises to bring excitement to the fans.”

Coach Nguyen Huy Hoang continued to share:“For any team, playing at home will bring excitement to the players. I believe that tomorrow, the fans will come to the stadium in large numbers to cheer on the team. The absence of a head coach by Hanoi FC does not affect this team. They still have their assistants and all 11 starting players on the field.”

For his part, captain Que Ngoc Hai said: "Hanoi Club is a strong team, with the most national team and U23 Vietnam players in V.League. Each individual has their own strengths and advantages, especially the excitement after the recent winning streak and the upcoming home game. But the person I am most wary of is Quang Hai, who is in France."SLNA midfielder smiled when mentioning Nguyen Quang Hai before the match against Hanoi Club on the afternoon of July 30.

Quang Hai is Ngoc Hai's teammate in the Vietnam national team, and is also the most formidable opponent in previous confrontations in the V.League every time Hanoi FC faced Viettel and now SLNA. According to Ngoc Hai, when the best player is no longer in the squad, the capital team is still very formidable.

"In my opinion, with foreign players from Hanoi, SLNA needs to be wary of Vladimir Siladi and Tonci Mujan, they performed very well in previous matches. With domestic players, it is Pham Tuan Hai. He moves very widely, penetrates the penalty area very well, next to Hung Dung and Van Quyet.", Que Ngoc Hai said.

"Regarding tomorrow's match, I will meet my teammates in the national team again. Brotherly love is a matter outside of life, but when I am on the field, I have to try my best to contribute to my team."The 1993-born center-back said that even without Quang Hai, Hanoi FC still has many stars. SLNA needs to be on guard, especially in the attack line with Tuan Hai. He is a player who is good at moving and penetrating the penalty area. In addition, Hanoi FC still has Van Quyet and Hung Dung.

The match between Hanoi Club and SLNA takes place at 7:15 p.m. on July 31. Hanoi is leading with 17 points, SLNA and Da Nang are behind with 16 points.
