Vietnam football hot news today March 16: Tien Linh disappointed with himself; Hai Phong replaces foreign player.

Tien Linh disappointed with his own performance.

Tien Linh admits he is quite disappointed as he still hasn't regained the knack for scoring against opponents.

"Linh himself feels quite disappointed because there have been many opportunities but he couldn't utilize them. However, he still needs to try harder to regain the best feeling.

In the coming period, CATPHCM Club will enter an extremely important stage, and Linh will need to improve his performance to help CATPHCM reach its goal.

Coach Kim's presence here also creates motivation for many domestic players who have been and are playing in V-League.

That is an opportunity for players to impress the national team head coach. Not only Linh but all players are eager to showcase themselves.

Today, the whole team performed well. Tien Linh and the entire team must strive even harder to achieve a good result in this season's competition," Tien Linh answered interviews after the victory of Cong An TPHCM over PVF CAND.

Hai Phong replaces foreign player.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem was disappointed with the performance of foreign players in the 0-1 loss to The Cong Viettel and will make changes before the deadline.

"We are waiting for a new foreign player. Today, he just flew in, and the team will have a 3-day break before returning to training. We will focus on integrating this foreign player's position to improve the lineup.

In football, losing one or two key positions makes finding replacements very difficult. Hai Phong lost two important foreign players in their playing style in the first half: Friday and Bicou.

Currently, we are trying to assemble the lineup, but you also see that foreign player Ronaldo Fletcher hasn't met expectations.

Hai Phong is not a team with a deep squad, so losing a few key players makes replacement and maintaining lineup quality very challenging.

The Cong - Viettel played better and seized opportunities. In the first half, we also had one or two chances but didn't capitalize. Therefore, I think Viettel's victory is completely deserved."

Coach Le Huynh Duc defends his student.

Coach Le Huynh Duc believes striker Nguyen Tien Linh is under psychological pressure after missing many opportunities. "In training sessions, players execute finishing situations very well, but during matches, sometimes due to various factors they cannot handle accurately as desired, partly due to pressure.

When a player doesn't score for a long time, they start feeling pressure. When losing sensation and confidence, regaining top form is very difficult. I also experienced that feeling when I was playing.

Our players recently have played very actively. They are diligent, striving with great spirit and desire. However, what is lacking is the ability to seize opportunities to score and finish matches early," Coach Le Huynh Duc explained the reason why key striker Tien Linh missed too many opportunities over a long period.

The victory over PVF-CAND helped CA TP HCM end a streak of 6 matches without a win at Thong Nhat Stadium in V.League.
