The 2024/2025 season in Vleague is a strange season for the North Central team Hong Linh Ha Tinh .
The 2024/2025 season in Vleague is a strange season for the North Central team Hong Linh Ha Tinh (HLHT). Strangely, after the 2023/2024 Vleague season, the HLHT team played poorly, even having to make up the play-off match with PVF CAND to win a ticket to stay in Vleague1. But entering this year's season, HLHT is at the top from round 1 to round 6 with many records. There are very bad curses that have existed with this team for a long time that have been broken...
For the first time, HLHT team had their first win in the opening match and also for the first time, HLHT team had 2 consecutive wins to start the season: winning the defending champion, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in the opening match and winning Da Nang FC in the second away match. Notably, HLHT was also the team that won for the first time at Hoa Xuan Stadium after a series of 7 matches against Da Nang and Quang Nam, only drawing and losing...
Even more special, in the 3rd match, the HLHT team, for the first time in 5 seasons, was at the top of the table for exactly 2 minutes before being equalized. With 6 points in the first 2 matches, HLHT was still behind Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) in the secondary index. In the match against Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA), after HAGL only had 1 point, HLHT scored in the 92nd minute against SLNA but still could not maintain the top position and was equalized in the 94th minute.
There has never been a season as favorable as this year for HLHT. The coaching staff is still the same, with only one slight change being the departure of Quoc Vuong. But with the attention of the provincial leaders as well as the strong investment of the sponsor, the foreign players of HLHT this year have much better professional quality. Overseas Vietnamese midfielder Adou Minh is also a very necessary and suitable addition. The proof is that after 6 rounds of this season, HLHT is the team with the fewest goals conceded among the top teams. 7 unbeaten matches, including 6 matches in the Vleague and 1 match in the national cup, speak for themselves.
For the first time, Ha Tinh fans, leaders and sponsors as well as players and coaching staff had a confident start to the season. Playing against strong opponents such as Hanoi FC or Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (QNBĐ), the fear of losing was gone. However, there were some very unfortunate matches, it felt like after several seasons of struggling to stay in the league, even the coaching staff, players and sponsors were not ready for the top spot.
After the first 2 victories, the HLHT team entered the match against SLNA in round 3 with the mentality of the top team. Reality proved that the HLHT team was really the top team, but there was something very difficult to say that held back the players and the coaching staff, so the match ended in a regrettable draw. If they had won against SLNA, HLHT would have been the leading team from round 3 until now. After the match against SLNA, the team was able to play at home. So many advantages against a Quang Nam team ranked averagely, but the fear of losing and some invisible barrier in their thinking once again missed the opportunity for HLHT to take the top spot. Although the time, place, and people were favorable, and especially the other team was playing with one less player due to a red card.
Regretting the 2 opportunities to climb to the top of the table against SLNA and Quang Nam, the HLHT team traveled to the capital to play as guests at Hang Day Stadium against Hanoi FC with a squad of high-quality domestic players. Perhaps after a series of 4 opening matches with 2 wins, 2 draws and especially 2 draws lacking enthusiasm and fire against SLNA and Quang Nam. All the suspicious eyes of experts as well as fans for the coaching staff and the team were focused on Hang Day Stadium. Against the high-quality Hanoi FC team and on the away field, the HLHT team played an excellent match to prove that the last 4 matches of HLHT were 4 matches of true strength and not by luck. Some newspapers and radio stations said: Hanoi was lucky to draw against HLHT at Hang Day Stadium. If luck had been on HLHT's side that day, the score would not have been 1-1 but 2-1 in favor of HLHT because the goalpost denied Geovane's goal in the 73rd minute...
HLHT is not ready for the top position, HLHT is afraid of being overwhelmed by its own strength. There is something invisible that has held the players back and it seems that the burden is psychological. The thought: This is very good is dominating the minds of Ha Tinh people?
The writer also sees that there is something about Ha Tinh people that is very similar to the players and people of Thanh Hoa 3 years ago. They have the ability but they keep playing and playing but still cannot reach the top, and even if they reach the top, they will be pushed down... After the match, Hanoi has another chance for HLHT to climb to the top, which is the match against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (QNBĐ) at home. This year's QNBĐ is no longer the QNBĐ of previous years, the opportunity for HLHT is real but once again HLHT missed the appointment with the top spot.
Being unbeaten after 6 rounds is already great, but HLHT can and will probably do more, but is it possible that the time is not ripe for them to be crowned? According to the assessment, with the 7th round as guests of Viettel, HLHT will continue to be unbeaten. It is very possible and will even be another victory for the Hong Mountain team at My Dinh Stadium!
