Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Dong A Thanh Hoa are two interesting phenomena in V.League 1-2023. The young team under the leadership of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has shown a style of play that many teams crave.
After 11 rounds, HLHT is ranked 4th on the rankings.
After 11 rounds, Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club (HLHT) is currently ranked 4th on the rankings. Perhaps, even the most optimistic fans did not think that the Hong mountain football team could climb so high.
HLHT has had a spectacular transformation, from a “poor” team that was worried about relegation last season to now being on the way to the championship race. In the journey so far, HLHT has only lost 2 matches against Dong A Thanh Hoa and Hanoi , 2 teams in the top 3, while the remaining team, the Red Mountain team, has won 4 and drawn 5.
Notably, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team defeated runner-up Hai Phong, Topeland Binh Dinh, and won against two "rich" teams Becamex Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City Club.
Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team is playing better and better and is very difficult to beat at this time.
The success of HLHT is the perfect combination of technical and spiritual factors. The Hong Mountain team is still a team without stars, but the coaching staff has built a clear squad structure and a stable counter-attacking defense strategy. The Hong Mountain team's playing style is calm but very quick in taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes.
HLHT owns a group of young players at the peak of their careers such as: Nguyen Trung Hoc, Duong Quang Tuan, Dao Van Nam, Tran Van Cong... They have trained and lived together for a long time so they have a good understanding in their playing style. After 2 years of struggling to stay in the league, this generation of players has become more mature.
Their youth combined with the experience of veterans like Dinh Thanh Trung creates dynamism and combativeness in the playing style, helping the club always overwhelm opponents in every step and in one-on-one battles. Of course, every team in V.League 1-2023 has experienced players and youth, but HLHT is showing the most smooth and perfect combination of these two factors.
The players of the Hong Mountain football team are eager to play and contribute to their hometown team.
Besides, foreign players are also a factor that helps HLHT fly high. The three foreign players play better and better. Striker Diallo with 5 goals has risen to the top 5 scorers of the tournament; Pinto has become the "boss" of the midfield; Janclesio is still the "steel shield" in front of goalkeeper Duong Quang Tuan's goal.
It is true to say that HLHT's success is only due to expertise, but it is not enough. HLHT's success is also reflected in the will and spirit of the players. HLHT this season is a united, confident, overcoming difficulties team and always thirsting for victory in every match.
The enthusiasm and perseverance of Dinh Thanh Trung, the determination of Nguyen Ngoc Thang to prove himself or the times Pinto and Diallo endured the pain to play are the clearest proofs of the efforts and endeavors of the Hong Mountain football team. In every step on the training ground, everyone is eager to compete and contribute.
The combination of youth and experience of the veterans helped HLHT compete impressively.
That desire was formed from the difficult nature of Ha Tinh football, having to "cut your coat according to your cloth", managing in a "patchwork" manner. This land has instilled in Ha Tinh football a resilient fighting spirit, never giving up. The most obvious manifestation is the emotional comeback against Ho Chi Minh City Club, the dramatic chase against the Hanoi stars...
With the fortitude forged from hardship, HLHT is now becoming "a team that is very difficult to defeat", as Topeland Binh Dinh coach Nguyen Duc Thang admitted.
The rise of HLHT is the result of systematic investment and timely attention and encouragement from the provincial leaders and the team management. HLHT's performances are a gift of gratitude to Ha Tinh fans who do not hesitate to work hard to "fuel" the team in each match.
HLHT is on its way to being in the top 8 teams competing for the championship this season.
Knowing that, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team still face many difficulties, but with confidence and high determination, the Hong Mountain football team in particular and Ha Tinh fans in general have enough basis to believe in a bright future ahead.
HLHT will bring to V.League 1-2023 a new spirit, real excitement and desire to prove themselves.
