A story of the past
Many neutral audiences still remember the match between Binh Dinh and Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the final stages of last year's season. Binh Dinh soon had to play with one less player due to Phan Ngoc Tin's red card.
With the score at 0-0, in the last minute of injury time, foreign player Alan made a turning point. The Brazilian striker fired an accurate shot to score for Binh Dinh.
But the image was later thought for many people. Outside the piste, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy did not celebrate "efforcement" like in previous matches, he only smiled slightly.
The disastrous defeat caused Hoang Anh Gia Lai to sink deeper and almost be relegated. In fact, V.League has not lacked in the past few years with confusing matches, unexpected developments that made the audience skeptical.
There is no confirmation that the teams "join hands", but the results of these matches are in the direction of helping the club in difficulty escape, the losing team will not lose anything.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai must resolve the doubt itself
Before round 21 of V.League took place, Hoang Anh Gia Lai had 24 points, Binh Dinh had only won 16 points and ranked 13th - a position that had to compete in the play-off.
The Central region representative is only 2 points ahead of Da Nang and has played 2 matches less. If they lose to Hoang Anh Gia Lai and lose the make-up match against Hanoi Police, Binh Dinh will be in danger.
In round 22, Binh Dinh will visit Tam Ky Stadium in Da Nang. It was the "reverse final" of the season. Binh Dinh is at risk of losing its right to self-determination and falling to the bottom position.
At that time, a real disaster will happen to coach Bui Doan Quang Huy and his team. Therefore, defeating Hoang Anh Gia Lai becomes an important and mandatory task that Binh Dinh needs to do.
On the contrary, Hoang Anh Gia Lai understands that they cannot be lax. The entire V.League is looking at the performance of the team from the mountain town.
For the past 21 years, Mr. Duc has been left empty-handed on all fronts and of course, he does not want to lose the image of the team that is beautiful in the eyes of fans.
There was no other way but the fighting spirit and a victory against Binh Dinh to help Hoang Anh Gia Lai dispel doubts.
Binh Dinh may face many difficulties, but they have to accept that they have to manage themselves and find it difficult to find any help as rumored on social networks in recent days.
