What did Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm say about Hải Phòng entering the top 3?

Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm was pleased with the Hải Phòng players’ display following their 2-1 comeback victory over Công an TPHCM.

The 2-1 comeback win against Công an TPHCM on the evening of November 1st gave Hải Phòng 17 points, propelling them into the top 3 of the standings. As early as the 11th minute, Quốc Cường scored to put the Thống Nhất Stadium hosts ahead. However, in the second half, foreign duo Fred Friday and Joel Tagueu impressed again by scoring consecutively to help the visitors overturn the match.

After the match, Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm stated:“Công an TP HCM has many players who deliver excellent crosses like Quang Hùng, along with strong-headed forwards such as Tiến Linh. They exploited these strengths well in the first half. In the second half, we adjusted our tactics, instructing our players to press tightly and make more aggressive runs to regain control and secure the win,”Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm praised Quang Hùng and Tiến Linh from the opposing team.

Although lacking star players, Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm’s team has been performing impressively this season with 5 wins, 2 draws, and only 2 losses. This victory not only earned points but also demonstrated the fighting spirit of the Hải Phòng squad. According to Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm, the players are improving with each match:

“Today, Công an TP HCM was missing their foreign players, while our foreign players performed excellently. They moved flexibly, creating mobility and surprise in attack. It can be said the whole team is improving day by day.”

In the next round, Hải Phòng will visit Becamex TPHCM, the team that just drew with Ninh Bình in a match played the same day.
