The point gap between CAHN Club and top team Nam Dinh is not large. The defending V-League champion currently has 12 points, 4 points behind top team Nam Dinh. CAHN currently plays one more match than Nam Dinh, but this is not a big problem, because the tournament is still very long (only played 8/26 matches).
The road is still long, while the strength of CAHN Club is still very strong. Compared to squad quality, this team has the best quality in the V-League, possessing the most stars.
In fact, CAHN Club only lost rhythm in the 4 rounds before round 8 (from round 4 to round 7), the period when coach Gong Oh-kyun led Quang Hai and his teammates. This was the period when CAHN Club had no wins (2 draws and 2 losses), causing them to fall behind.
Right after the change in the technical area, CAHN Club played differently. The reigning V-League champion, temporarily led by Technical Director Tran Tien Dai, beat the second-placed team Binh Duong (same points as Nam Dinh, but inferior in sub-index) by 3 goals to no score. Although before that, Binh Duong was in very good form. At the same time, coach Le Huynh Duc of the Southeast team is not a bad coach.
CAHN Club is so strong that they easily won against Binh Duong even though they put the current number one right winger in Vietnam, Ho Tan Tai, on the bench. This is the most controversial face when he was not named in the list of Vietnam's team preparing for the 2023 Asian Cup.
Now people feel sorry for Tan Tai when this player was not called up to the team, even more sorry for Cong Phuong, who is a very popular star in Vietnam. That detail reflects Ho Tan Tai's professional capacity. But CAHN did not need to use this player and still surpassed Binh Duong Club.
In fact, Tan Tai came on the field and scored in the above match CAHN - Binh Duong. But he only appeared on the field after the 80th minute and his goal to increase the score to 3-0 actually did not have much meaning in deciding the fate of the match, because CAHN created the gap and the game was safe. all in advance.
With an abundant force from internal soldiers to foreign soldiers, as long as CAHN has a good coach leading them, they can still compete for the V-League championship in the current season with any opponent, even if they temporarily lose their rhythm in the competition. the past few weeks.
Some sources revealed that the person who will lead the CAHN Club from the beginning of the new year 2024 will be coach Mano Polking, the former coach of the Thai team that won the AFF Cup 2020 and 2022.
Regarding his name, Mr. Polking is a man of reputation, reputation, and quality. The remaining problem for this coach with dual German and Brazilian nationality is only his suitability for the V-League and his own understanding of the tournament and Vietnamese players. If coach Mano Polking is suitable, CAHN Club will be very strong and will be the top championship candidate of the V-League!
