Coach Le Duc Tuan thinks his team requires additional time to blend well, whereas Coach Cong Manh is satisfied with Ha Tinh's late triumph.
In the round 2 match of the 2025/26 V-League, SHB Da Nang Club suffered a heartbreaking 0-1 loss in stoppage time against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. After the game, Coach Le Duc Tuan shared:“The current squad has just undergone a merger and added 13-14 new players. We haven't had enough time to gel, which resulted in a lack of cohesion in our play.”
Despite the loss, the former Hanoi FC coach remains quite hopeful about SHB Da Nang's situation. He affirmed that the entire team will improve soon:
“They need more time to adapt, but I believe in their current progressive spirit. The team will advance and perform better in the near future. Da Nang’s goal is not only about results in the competition but also about developing players to contribute to the Vietnam national team.”
On the other side, Coach Nguyen Cong Manh expressed:“Da Nang controlled possession more, but the victory ultimately belongs to the team that knows how to seize luck and opportunities better. I am satisfied that Ha Tinh managed to do that.”
Speaking about the future of the foreign players, Ha Tinh’s coach revealed: “Even when I was an assistant, I followed these two players. They have the fitness, technique, and V.League experience. I believe they will soon demonstrate their abilities and contribute more to the team.”
