"V.HP almost has no chance of staying in the league"

Even Le Huynh Duc, coach of SHB.DN, the team that defeated V.HP 3-2 in the match yesterday afternoon, does not think that the Hai Phong team has a chance to stay in the V-League after this season.

Coach Le Huynh Duc

Failure after failure and in the context of both teachers and students being suspended for a long time, V.HP is facing many difficulties and only a miracle can help this team stay in the league. Although he was very diplomatic, as a football expert, Coach Le Huynh Duc still frankly admitted: “After losing to SHB.DN, V.HP encountered many difficulties in its efforts to stay in the league and it can be said that the door to V-League has closed for this team. Unfortunately for V.HP, they all lost to direct competitors in the relegation group in 6-point matches. This round, while they were empty-handed, CS.DT and V.NB won all 3 points to widen the gap with V.HP”.

For their part, with an important victory over a team in a general decline, while their championship competitors all lost or drew, SHB.DN regained second place in the rankings, with one match left to play and only 1 point behind the top team HN.T&T. However, coach Le Huynh Duc still appeared cautious: “At this point, the championship opportunity is shared equally among all teams, not just HN.T&T, SHB.DN or SG.XT. At the decisive stage of the season, the teams must focus and maximize their abilities.”

SHB.DN is still very dependent on Merlo. In the previous round, without the striker who is leading the scoring list, the Han River team lost to HA.GL and yesterday, Merlo returned, scored a hat-trick, SHB.DN won all 3 points. But that is not their only weakness. Coach Huynh Duc admitted: "SHB.DN's defense still makes many very dangerous mistakes, the evidence is the 2 goals we conceded in the match against V.HP. If we want to win the championship, SHB.DN must overcome this weakness."
