Coach Chung Hae-seong has mentioned about the champion possibility of HCMC FC in V-League 2019.

Surprisingly defeated by Sanna Khánh Hòa in round 19 of V-League, the race to the trophy of HCMC FC gets several difficulties. Coach Chung Hae-seong and his players understand that one more loss away against Tam Kỳ will make their chance to be the champions go further.

HCMC FC actually played well but the players of Chung Hae-seong regrettably conceded a goal in the late minutes of the first half as Tùng Quốc committed a foul to Davies in the box and Samson opened up the score from the penalty dot.

Efforts in the second half could not help HCMC FC have the equalizer. In contrast, they conceded the second goal at the 90th minute by Samson, resulting to a 0-2 defeat at Tam Kỳ stadium.

In the press briefing, coach Chung Hae-seong sadly stated: “The loss today clearly brings us disadvantages in the race to the trophy. However, our players played well and there is no reason for me to complain about the team.

Now I want to send my apology to the players not only for the loss today but also for the previous games. I send the apology from the heart of a coach for not being able to make the team dominant in the race with Hanoi FC and for the games that did not bring us a good result in the recent time”

He continued: “I myself has been satisfied since the beginning of the season because my players have made their best efforts despite of the results. I always hope to give my best contribution. Winning or not winning the trophy, it’s not important. If we miss it this year, then we will try it next year and will always move towards that goal.”
