Match review Hanoi FC vs PVF-CAND, 7:15 p.m. November 4: Must-win mission

VHO - Commentary on the match between Hanoi FC vs PVF-CAND, round 10 of V.League, if they want to return to the championship race or at least be in the top 3, the home team at Hang Day Stadium needs to avoid losing points.

Hanoi FC vs PVF-CAND performance

With an impressive track record in his football career, Harry Kewell was warmly welcomed when he took over the hot seat of Hanoi FC. But after the initial glitz, the Australian strategist still needs to demonstrate good professional qualities to help the new team overcome the difficult period.

In the debut match, the "Kewell" effect helped Hanoi FC have a commendable performance despite losing 1-2 to the top team Ninh Binh right at Hang Day. In the next trip to Thu Dau Mot, Van Quyet and his teammates excellently defeated the host Binh Duong 3-2.

It was thought that the signs of improvement would be maintained by the capital representative during the visit to the home of Ha Tinh . But no, against the home team with a more thorny and pragmatic playing style, the army under Kewell fell 1-2.

So after 3 matches in charge, the former Premier League player has only helped Hanoi FC gain 1 win and 2 losses, equivalent to earning 3 more points. The statistics certainly cannot meet expectations. However, for a new coach who is just getting used to a completely unfamiliar environment, the adaptation time must always be taken into account.

After nearly a month, Kewell has clearly grasped the strengths and weaknesses of the team as well as each individual. The management and fans of Hang Day Stadium have the right to expect a stronger mark on the team's playing style.

In the period before Kewell arrived, Hanoi FC continuously reaped positive results under the temporary leadership of Technical Director Yusuke Adachi (2 wins, 1 draw). Mental factors alone are certainly not enough to bring about a stable appearance.

After 9 rounds, Hanoi FC only has 11 points, 10 points behind the leader Ninh Binh. Even the former V.League champion is only 4 points ahead of the bottom 5 teams (with 7 points each). Any result other than a victory in the reception of PVF-CAND will be considered a failure and could put the capital representative in danger.

A third of the way through, the overall picture of PVF-CAND has been somewhat portrayed. A young, enthusiastic squad of players, complemented by a pair of experienced foreign players, helps PVF-CAND not be overwhelmed in the situation of being handed an unexpected ticket to participate in V.League 2025/26.

In matches against opponents of equal or slightly higher rank, PVF-CAND is ready to compete fairly and achieve quite positive results. However, every time they face big teams, the team under the direction of coach Thach Bao Khanh shows immaturity, easily revealing weaknesses in defense.

The two recent consecutive defeats against the championship contenders, CAHN and Ninh Binh, are clear proof. The trip to Hang Day this midweek will once again bring a difficult challenge for Thanh Nhan and his teammates.
