V.League 2021: Who can stop the team led by Coach Kiatisak?
(Baonghean.vn) - The 1-0 victory over Hanoi FC in the last round once again proved the terrible strength of the team led by Coach Kiatisak.
After 10 rounds in phase 1V.League 2021, HAGL is sitting comfortably at the top of the rankings. And since the 0-1 defeat on the opening day against Saigon FC, Luong Xuan Truong and his teammates have only lost points once in a 0-0 draw at Hong Linh Ha Tinh, the rest are convincing victories.

Witnessing the destructive performance of coach Kiatisak and his team, most experts and football fans in the country believe that HAGL is one of the two strongest candidates for the throne of V.League 2021, along with the reigning champion Viettel. The question is who will stop HAGL's stormy progress?
With what they are showing, perhaps, only when Luong Xuan Truong and his teammates "fall down" or their upcoming opponents suddenly play brilliantly, will they be the losers. The first condition (falling down) seems a bit unlikely. But the second condition (opponents playing brilliantly) is completely possible. Not to mention, surprises are always a part of football.

According to the schedule of the first phase of V.League 2021, the next obstacle for coach Kiatisak and his team is Thanh Hoa. In many aspects, the Thanh team has enough factors to make Luong Xuan Truong and his teammates "regret". In addition to the advantage of playing at home, the performance of Thanh Hoa players is also quite impressive (3 wins, 1 draw in the last 4 rounds).
In particular, the Thanh team also possesses an extremely powerful "weapon" in the form of coach Petrovic, the Serbian strategist who helped Red Star Belgrade win the C1 Cup (former name of the UEFA Champions League) in the 1990/1991 season. Under the direction of coach Petrovic, Le Van Thang and his teammates are always a formidable opponent.
"No team can win forever" is a famous saying in the football world. Who knows, HAGL's 9-match unbeaten streak (8 wins, 1 draw) in the first phase of V.League 2021 will be broken at Thanh Hoa Stadium, on the afternoon of April 28.
