Speaking following the match, coach Nguyen Duc Thang of Topenland Binh Dinh said: “For me, whether I lose 0-1 or 0-5, it is still a loss.
But this loss left me with more thoughts than other matches. In fact, Topenland Binh Dinh entered the game quite well but did not take advantage of its opportunities in the first half.
Unfortunately, my players lost the ball quite easily to the strong pressure that CAHN created. CAHN handled the situation well to get the deserved 3 points.”
When the reporter asked the question regarding the reason, besides the reason “to lose the ball easily”, is there any other reason why Topenland Binh Dinh lost so much? Coach Nguyen Duc Thang shared:
“I understand what you’re talking regarding, it was our second goal from the penalty spot, it was the highlight, the turning point of the game.
Right in the first half, I changed my approach to the game but it didn’t work out.”
In conclusion, coach Nguyen Duc Thang expressed his belief: “This is the opening match and we must soon forget this match. V.League 2023 is still very long and Topenland Binh Dinh’s goal is to enter the top 8 teams. leading phase 1 as soon as possible, thereby continuing to compete in phase 2”.
