"Hanoi Police Club is in dire need of a title to give to the fans. And I believe we can win, not only the Super Cup match but also many other matches. We are strong enough to compete for domestic championships. And that journey will begin with the match against Nam Dinh tomorrow," coach Alexandre Polking shared at a press conference on the afternoon of August 8.
On August 9, Hanoi Police Club will play the 2024-2025 National Super Cup match against Nam Dinh at Thien Truong Stadium. Hanoi Police is the National Cup champion, while Nam Dinh is the reigning V-League champion for 2 consecutive seasons.
"Between the two strongest teams at the moment, only one team can win the Super Cup. The two teams know each other very well, but this match will be very different from previous confrontations because of the addition of new players from both teams. We are at a slight disadvantage when playing at the opponent's home stadium full of spectators, but I am still confident that Hanoi Police Club can win," said coach Polking.
When asked about the plan to use new recruits, Coach Polking acted like he was "hiding his cards".
He said: "Brandon Ly and the club's new recruits have integrated well. I feel the positive atmosphere in every training session.
Now we are looking for a suitable strategy for them to perform. However, I am not sure if Brandon and the new players can play tomorrow's match."
Captain midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai said: "The Super Cup match will be the start of a successful season for the Hanoi Police Club. We are in a very comfortable mood, especially after quality training sessions thanks to the presence of new recruits. We are used to the pressure and will work together to bring a gift to the fans."
On the side of Nam Dinh Club, Head Coach Vu Hong Viet also did not hesitate to share his desire to win the Super Cup. "In each match, we have our own pressure. Only when we overcome that pressure will success be meaningful. I told my students to focus and try their best to achieve the goal of winning the Super Cup," said Coach Vu Hong Viet.
He continued: "Nam Dinh Club is now ready after the pre-season training period, especially the recent trip to Korea. The 3 friendly matches with K-League clubs are truly a useful opportunity for us to gain experience."
Last year, Nam Dinh Club won the National Super Cup for the 2023-2024 season. Meanwhile, Hanoi Police Club has never won this title.
The 2024 - 2025 Vietnam National Super Cup will take place at 6:00 p.m. on August 9 at Thien Truong Stadium and will be broadcast live onFPT Play.
