Still retaining the unbeaten streak and temporarily occupying the top of the V.League, the Viettel coach gave praise to the Nghe An-born midfielder:

"I would definitely recommend Khac Ngoc if possible. Recently, Ngoc has made strong developments in professionalism. I think the Vietnamese team needs a factor like Khac Ngoc. He has the ability to shoot from distance. In set pieces, he is also a factor that can handle and make a difference ".

Coach Phan Thanh Hung shared: "Khac Ngoc is a professional player. He also scored many goals similar to the free kick in this match. Ngoc is a good midfielder who attacks, shoots and passes the ball equally well".

I will try to fix this weakness to kick at home becoming an advantage. If you do not take advantage of it, it is very difficult to compete."

Regarding the injury of Hoang Duc, the coach of Hanoi said: "Hoang Duc had an ankle injury before the match against Nam Dinh last round. The recovery ability has not reached 100% but I still put into competition to find the fealing. Recovery is a long process. "
