A series of question marks from Becamex TP.HCM

In mid-August, Becamex TP.HCM Club had a dream start to the new season with the biggest win of round 1 of V-League 2025 - 2026, defeating HAGL 3-0 at Pleiku Arena to top the table.

However, the happy day did not last long when coach Nguyen Anh Duc and his team suffered two consecutive defeats against Hanoi Police Club (0-3) at Go Dau home field and The Cong Viettel Club (0-2) at Hang Day field.

Most recently, Becamex TP.HCM suffered another heavy defeat, this time against first division representative Truong Tuoi Dong Nai with a score of 1-3, causing them to stop early in the preliminary round of the National Cup.

This match also revealed the latest problem of Becamex TP.HCM Club, when the two Nigerian strikers Ugochukwu and Ismaila disappeared, not living with the team since the loss to The Cong Viettel on August 30.

According to Thanh Nien Newspaper's investigation, these two foreign players had problems with work permit procedures in Vietnam so they asked to return home to resolve the issue, but due to visa problems, they have not been able to return, while the remaining 13 V-League clubs all kept their foreign players practicing with the team.

Big challenge for coach Anh Duc

The lack of two foreign strikers will pose a huge challenge for coach Nguyen Anh Duc, as the possibility of them returning to Vietnam within a week is still open, not to mention the training conditions of these two strikers during their stay in Nigeria is still a question mark.

But Becamex TP.HCM's problems seem to be more than that, from the foreign player's paperwork to the rumors about some "uncertainties" within the team, which are normally fine but can be exaggerated after 3 consecutive losses.

Huge pressure is weighing heavily on the shoulders of Coach Nguyen Anh Duc, who has set a lot of ambitions with a series of personnel changes at Becamex TP.HCM. Therefore, the 2 home matches against Ho Chi Minh City Police Club and Da Nang Club will be an opportunity for the coaching staff to turn things around.

As soon as possible, Coach Anh Duc will need a victory to help Becamex TP.HCM get back on track, relieve pressure on himself and the team. Will this former striker be able to achieve his goal on the day Tien Linh, Quang Hung and Coach Le Huynh Duc return to their "old home" at Go Dau Stadium in round 4 of the V-League?
