Hanoi Club flourishes with coach Teguramori

Having started the season slowly, Hanoi FC is accelerating strongly in the V-League under the leadership of coach Teguramori Makoto - a strategist from Japan.

In round 19 of V-League 2024-2025, Hanoi FC had an impressive performance when winning 3-0 at Go Dau Stadium of host Binh Duong . With solid playing style, high fighting spirit and outstanding factors, the capital team is full of opportunities to return to the top position.

Harmonious combination of experience and youth

Hanoi FC is a team with many achievements in V-League but has lost the "throne" since the 2023 season and has not been able to improve the situation despite constantly changing head coaches. Saying goodbye to many pillars who are players of the "golden" generation, the home team of Hang Day Stadium is gradually being narrowed by opponents in terms of level and class.

The 2024-2025 season also did not start as expected for Hanoi FC, when they played inconsistently and fell behind in the championship race. However, the turning point came when Hanoi FC successfully recruited coach Teguramori Makoto - who led Japan U23 to the Asian championship in 2016.

Under the guidance of coach Teguramori Makoto, Hanoi FC has transformed with smooth, diverse and highly effective attacking combinations. The 57-year-old coach did not bring about a hasty revolution, but instead a process of subtle adjustments in tactics and football thinking, arousing the spirit of discipline - which is the identity of Japanese football.

Coming to Hanoi FC, Mr. Teguramori Makoto boldly changed the tactical structure. From the familiar 4-3-3 formation, the capital team flexibly switched to 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1, helping to increase the ability to control the midfield, maximizing the "satellites" around the center forward.

In addition, Coach Teguramori also focuses on physical training, improving the ability to quickly change state instead of slow control play. The playing style of Hanoi Club now no longer depends too much on stars but is a harmonious combination of experience and youth.

Improve your football thinking

Coach Teguramori's adjustments were effective, with a 7-match unbeaten streak, including 5 wins. Notably, the convincing victory over Binh Duong Club in round 19 confirmed the strong comeback of Hanoi Club.

After 19 rounds, Hanoi FC temporarily ranked 2nd on the rankings with 34 points, only 2 points behind the leading team Nam Dinh . The improvement of Hanoi FC in the second leg also indirectly made the V-League championship race more attractive when the tournament only has 7 rounds left to end.

On the journey back to the championship race, many Hanoi FC players have performed impressively, leaving a strong impression. Midfielder Luka Bobicanec, although only joining Hanoi FC in early 2025, has quickly asserted his important role in the team's tactical operation system. The 32-year-old Croatian rookie possesses top-notch individual skills and a keen sense of play, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists in 9 matches for Hanoi FC.

Meanwhile, Hanoi FC's defense continues to be the most solid "wall" in V-League under the command of the central defender duo Thanh Chung - Duy Manh. The two national players complement each other's weaknesses, cover each other closely when defending and increase efficiency when attacking.

With what they have shown, Hanoi FC can absolutely think about winning the championship. More importantly, they are rekindling the faith of their fans after a long period of disappointment. The appearance of coach Teguramori not only brings a new breeze to the playing style but also raises the football thinking of the whole team. If they continue to maintain their form and coolness in key matches, Hanoi FC can absolutely win the V-League 2024-2025.

"It's not easy to win the V-League, but we will try our best to lift the trophy at the end of the season. Please believe in and support us!" - Coach Teguramori expressed.
