“Red alert” for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong
In V.League 2023/2024, after 5 rounds, Hong Linh Ha Tinh only won 2 points after 2 draws and 3 losses. This poor performance makes Hong Linh Ha Tinh currently only ranked 13th, above bottom team LPBank HAGL in terms of goal-loss difference.
If including the results of the final matches of phase 1 and phase 2 of V.League 2023, Hong Linh Ha Tinh has gone 14 consecutive matches without winning. This is clearly a worrying sign for this club’s performance and if it does not help the team change in a positive direction, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will be under a lot of pressure. Notably, V.League is still truly a “coach mill” when 4 strategists left after the first 5 rounds.
