Comments on Hanoi Police Club vs SLNA
The early match of the 9th round of the V-League is a duel between the Hanoi Police Club and SLNA. This is the time when the Nghe team is facing a lot of difficulties. SLNA only got one win after the first 8 rounds of the season.
SLNA's gameplay is unconvincing and less attractive. This is the reason why Vinh stadium stands have become cold recently. The fear of the crisis of the previous years reappeared.
The news that the SLNA Club cut the bonus increased the suspicion around Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates. Despite the fact that President Truong Sy Ba spoke to reassure the public, the fact that SLNA had financial problems and had a significant impact on the players' morale was real.
The challenge for SLNA in round 9 is an opponent in opposite circumstances. The Hanoi Police Club gradually stabilized after the initial period of trouble. Despite the problems, the Hanoi Police Club is still in the top 3 leading teams and still has the opportunity to compete for the championship. They are only 4 points behind the top team Thanh Hoa and the schedule is not difficult.
Before welcoming SLNA at home, Hanoi Police Club had no serious injuries. Pillars such as To Van Vu, Ho Tan Tai, Vu Van Thanh, etc. are all in high form. The easy victory over the HCM City Club is a sign that the police team is getting on track, gradually catching up with the game.
But also from the match on Thong Nhat Stadium, the defense of Hanoi Police Club continued to show many holes. Letting the team struggle with the relegation race to score 3 goals and have many chances is not a good sign. To get achievements this season, the Hanoi Police Club can't just rely on the attack to continuously shoot.
Facing 2 heavy cannons of SLNA, Olaha and Soladio, it is likely that midfielder Elton will return to the official squad. The former Arsenal player is not excellent, but he is superior to his opponents in terms of physique and speed. Elton's physical strength can compensate teammates in duels.
Meanwhile, SLNA understands that 1 point with Hanoi Police Club is also a successful result. The defense with the command of Que Ngoc Hai is an important fulcrum for teachers and coaches Nguyen Huy Hoang.
