But after a smooth start, coach Gong Oh-kyun’s CAHN club did not get the expected results in the V.League. First, they lost to Hai Phong Club away from home when coach Gong Oh-kyun made some adjustments that were considered unreasonable. Next, they drew very unfortunately against top team Steel Xanh Nam Dinh despite leading 2-0 until the 84th minute.
1 point after those 2 matches is not considered a disaster for coach Gong Oh-kyun as well as CAHN Club because Hai Phong and Nam Dinh Xanh Steel are strong teams and the defending V.League champions have to play away from home. Therefore, the match with newly promoted Quang Nam at Hang Day’s home field last night (December 15) was considered a good opportunity for CAHN Club to win 3 points and coach Gong Oh-kyun to enjoy the feeling of winning the match. for the first time in V.League.
However, CAHN Club was held to a 0-0 draw in a match that caused them great disappointment. Many scoring opportunities were created but were missed by CAHN Club players. Off the piste, coach Gong Oh-kyun tried hard to adjust the personnel and fighting style but it was not effective.
3 consecutive matches without a clear win has caused CAHN Club to slow down on the way to defending the throne. Currently, they have 9 points, 4 points behind the top team Steel Green Nam and have played 1 more match. Thanh Hoa (11 points), Binh Duong (10 points) can widen the gap with CAHN Club and the 3 teams behind with 8 points also promise to overcome to push coach Gong Oh-kyun and his team out of the first place. 4 that they are temporarily holding.

Speaking after the draw with Quang Nam, coach Gong Oh-kyun said: “Of course 3 games without a win makes us disappointed and regrettable, but the players are trying and making every effort every day. Over time, I I believe the students will improve further.
First of all, our players tried and implemented the proposed idea correctly. We practiced a lot, a player does not necessarily play in one position but can take on many different roles. One person cannot cover a whole match. Our players can ensure versatile play.
We are finalizing the squad. I want to give players more opportunities and experience. I accept all responsibility as well as comments. I hope they are not affected by negative comments.”

CAHN Club has real strength and coach Gong Oh-kyun does not lack leadership talent. However, the Korean strategist needs to know that the V.League is a real “coach mill”. Currently, even this season, after only 5 rounds, there are 4 coaches no longer sitting in the “hot seat”.
Coach Gong Oh-kyun asked for more time and the CAHN club leadership is now ready to give him more opportunities. However, if he does not get good results soon, coach Gong Oh-kyun will face many difficulties in the V.League arena, not to mention helping CAHN Club compete in the Asian Cup as he once said. expression.
