The powerful weapon of Coach Tuan 'black'

Coach Nguyen Van Tuan (often called Tuan "black") also has a powerful weapon, helping him be more clear-headed in the cabin area.

It is the application of technology in the observation and analysis of the match while it is taking place. The team's technical team will operate the camera placed in the stands, the live image of the match and important technical parameters will be transmitted to the tablet of the coaching staff present in the command cabin. From there, when having an overall view, Coach Tuan "den" and the goalkeeper coaches and assistant coaches will have timely coordination and direction for the players, adjusting the playing tactics. This is the idea of the members of the alumni association of the University of Technology (BKA), who are successful in many fields and are very passionate about football.

In the match against Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry on January 6 and the match against Ho Chi Minh City University of Education on January 11, the University of Technology applied this technology. Former Saigon Port player, Coach Nguyen Van Tuan shared: "I found this application effective. For example, in the match against Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, when looking at the data, in the second half I changed the tactical diagram and the team scored 3 goals. In the upcoming play-off match, we will definitely continue to promote this technology."

Previously, at the technical meeting to prepare for the opening of the qualifying round of Group E in Ho Chi Minh City of the TNSV THACO Cup 2025, the coaching staff of the University of Technology team asked the Organizing Committee about the use of technology to support training and direction on the field. Regarding this issue, VFF match supervisor, Mr. Le Ba Hoai said that the coaching team can watch images filmed live on the field and only serve to direct the players on the field at that time. These images cannot be considered a tool for teams to "check VAR" and complain and argue with the referee on the field.

At this point, the spirit of the members of the Polytechnic University team is very high. However, from the coaching staff to the players, everyone modestly said that they still have to continue to make great efforts for the upcoming decisive play-off match, if they want to win a ticket to the finals as expected.

"We know that we can meet any team in the play-off, because no matter who we meet, the whole team must try hard, be united and have high determination, like the past matches. Everyone must be confident and calm to contribute to a good match," Coach Tuan "den" expressed.
