At My Dinh Stadium, The Cong Viettel club came from behind to defeat Hanoi FC with a score of 2-1 in round 2 of V.League 2024-2025.
After Joao Pedro opened the scoring for Hanoi, Danh Trung and Amarildo scored in turn to help the army team win their first victory of this year's season.
Speaking after the match, coach Nguyen Duc Thang said: "This victory is very meaningful. After scoring, the opponent played less energetically. Getting 4 points after 2 rounds is in line with the goal we set initially, which was to try to get 3 points when playing at home and get points when playing away."
Regarding midfielder Hoang Duc starting from the bench, the captain of The Cong Viettel said: "Hoang Duc is on the bench for tactical reasons. I want to use Van Khang because he has high speed and is ready to attack. In addition, Khang is making great progress so I created the conditions.
My Dinh Stadium has a good pitch, the players handled the game better than in round 1 at Thong Nhat Stadium. The two foreign players also played better, while the domestic players showed their common playing style."
On the side of Hanoi FC, coach Le Duc Tuan shared: "In football, the last minutes are the most important. This is the lesson we need to learn after this match."
This coach emphasized: "Foreign players in Vietnam do not have the desired quality. The tournament has started but foreign players still need time to adapt. There are many problems such as playing style, weather, culture... so they need to make more efforts.
Every club has a source to watch players, but there are many factors that make them not play as well as on video.
In the past, both foreign and domestic players of Hanoi FC were very good. In addition, many players used to play in V.League before moving to Hanoi. I have only been in charge of the team for 2 months and have only had a little time to get acquainted with the foreign players."
