Facing the risk of losing the "hot" seat due to 4 consecutive matches without a win, what did Hanoi's Japanese coach say?

On the evening of August 28, the 2-4 defeat against Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) in round 3 of V-League 2025-2026 made the position of Hanoi team head coach Makoto Teguramori shake violently.

Coach Teguramori: 'The decision belongs to the leadership of Hanoi Club'

In the post-match press conference, coach Teguramori of Hanoi team said: "We played as an away team but in fact this match was also at home at Hang Day. The team determined that this would be a difficult match, and the result was very sad. After being 2 goals behind, Hanoi Club exposed many gaps. There are many reasons for our bad start to this year's season.

A week ago, the team had full strength so the lineup was not yet in sync. I came here with the expectation of helping Hanoi FC win the V-League, but the current results are not good. The decision about my seat belongs to the club's leadership. We need to improve during the upcoming break."

What does coach Polking think about overseas Vietnamese Brandon Ly?

Coach Alexandre Polking praised his players: "We started the match well and got into the rhythm quickly. In the first half, we controlled the ball and had many chances to score, creating an overwhelming game. However, in the last minutes of the second half, the whole team slowed down and was overwhelmed by the opponent. But I appreciate the performance of the players when they fought hard and followed good tactics. I think this is the match in which we achieved our best performance in recent times. However, we still have to focus on fighting for the rest of the season.

Regarding the defense, the first 80 minutes played well but the last 10 minutes were quite erratic and lacked concentration. Conceding 2 goals was not good. In fact, I gave some young players a chance to come on the field to replace the main players who had played quite a lot. I don't want to say that this is their fault but the young players' integration and connection are not good, they need to overcome it for the next matches."

Coach Polking added about Vietnamese-American Brandon Ly: "He has just arrived at the club and we have created the best training conditions. Based on the training results and integration process, I have created opportunities for Brandon Ly to enter the field. Of course, the first time playing in the V-League is not easy, he needs time to integrate and get into the rhythm. His training process is hard, determined and I appreciate this. We should not be too hasty with young players like Brandon Ly when he has only been in the team for 1-2 months, it is difficult to get into the rhythm right away. The most important thing is progress and I will definitely create opportunities."
