Explaining more regarding the points that Hanoi FC needs to improve to play better, Coach Bandovic expressed: “We have only had 15 days of training and playing together as a full team so far.
The past three matches (winning Hai Phong 2-0 in the Super Cup, drawing Viettel 1-1 in the first round of the V.League and today winning CAHN 2-0 in the second round of the V.League – PV) of Hanoi FC are all very good. hard. The players worked hard to train, unite and trust each other. Today’s victory is their merit. I also want to say thank you to the fans who came to the stadium to cheer for the team.
In football, there are no shortcuts. We need more time to show our best play.
I want the players to have more control of the ball, play with a faster rhythm, more speed and I believe they will.”
When the reporter asked regarding the situation where the referee ignored the penalty that Hanoi FC deserved in the middle of the first half when foreign soldier William was fouled by Tien Dung in the penalty area? Coach Bandovic expressed his opinion:
“Before the game, I always talk to the players to imagine all the possible situations. That situation, the defender CAHN can make a mistake and in another situation, in another game, it is very possible. Maybe that will come to Hanoi Club.
We need to review it to see it as a lesson for ourselves, to further improve our abilities. We have 2 more matches ahead of us, the end of round 4 will be the V.League break for us to improve ourselves.
I tell the players to give 200% every game. We are the champions and the teams all respect and want to win the Hanoi club. We need to play as well as we did today and even better in the remaining games of the season.”
Before landing in V.League to lead Hanoi club this season, Coach Bandovic had a long time leading Buriram United – the champion of the Thai League. When the reporter questioned the level of fierceness in the race to the Thai League championship compared to the V.League with what was felt? Coach Bandovic confided:
“Wherever I go, in all football, to be a champion is very difficult. As you can see, today’s game was very difficult.
We will have to plan, focus on getting the best results for each match.”
