Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem said that the problem of the force of Hai Phong club is very worrying and the team only aims to stay relegated in the 2023 season.
On Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi club won 2-0 once morest Hai Phong from the goals of striker Lucao and defender Van Kien, thereby winning the National Super Cup – THACO Cup 2022. Meanwhile, , the Port team despite their efforts might not win the first title in the 2023 season.
Speaking following the match, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem shared: “Today, the two teams played openly. Hanoi FC won was deserved and they played better, had better forces. Hanoi changed in position. head coach position, changes to the 3-4-3 tactical formation and many other changes”.
After the 2022 National Super Cup, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem also expressed concern regarding the force of Hai Phong club this season.
“Emmanuel Okotu is just a temporary contract, he did not meet our expectations and we will find a replacement in the near future. Hai Phong, following a season of changing nearly 70% of the force, fell into the main players. columns like Tien Dung, Ngoc Quang, Moses, Rimario We haven’t found someone to fill the gap This year, foreign players are not stable so their physical preparation is not good.
I think that foreign soldier Bicou can play a part today, but Hai Phong lacks someone like Rimario and this causes many difficulties. This year’s left-back is also worrisome because Hoang Thai Binh has returned to the management team. The position of central defender is also worrying,” Nghiem said.
Talking regarding the goal of the Port team at V.League 2023, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem said: “Hai Phong aims to stay relegated. Last year, it might play sublimely, but this year, the goal must be adjusted. I have also discussed in the past few times, don’t think that last year was a success but look at reality.
The pillars have gone, a team that loses 7 pillars is very difficult to replace. Hai Phong fans must determine that it is difficult to expect us to thrive this year but must accumulate every point to stay in the relegation.”
