Center-back Đinh Quang Kiệt expressed important thoughts after HAGL’s two straight wins over opponents Đà Nẵng and Ninh Bình.
The second consecutive victory against Ninh Bình Club On the evening of February 7th (following a 1-0 win over SHB Đà Nẵng in round 12), HAGL climbed to 8th place on the league table after a long period near the bottom. These results provide great motivation for the Núi phố players in their fight to avoid relegation this season.
After the match, young center-back Đinh Quang Kiệt stated:"Of course, for me and the entire HAGL team, beating a well-invested club like Ninh Bình FC is a very positive outcome. We came here aiming to secure points, so winning 3 points makes us very happy.
HAGL is a team whose players are always ready to play, whether on or off the pitch. Today, when Gabriel was injured, Minh Tâm stepped in. In our team, anyone can step onto the field,"Quang Kiệt added.
Although considered the underdog, the yellow-shirted players started the game with great confidence and were the first to take the lead. Early in the second half, even though the opponent equalized, the players remained composed.
"Even after conceding a goal from Geovane’s excellent free kick, my teammates fought bravely. Many say HAGL will be scared to come here, but we know Ninh Bình FC wants 3 points at home, so there’s no need to rush," Quang Kiệt shared.
""HAGL tried to capitalize on opportunities, calmly transitioning from defense to attack and scored two goals. Six points from two matches will give HAGL a memorable and joyful Tet holiday with their families. This is the motivation for us to fight harder and overcome the long, challenging season ahead," the 1.95m tall center-back affirmed.
