“Ninh Binh is a strong team, currently at the top of the table and in good form. They are a good team, from the defenders to the strikers, they all move flexibly and promote teamwork. This will be a difficult challenge for the whole team. However, we believe that coach Harry Kewell will bring a new breeze, and the players are eager and determined to win,” Pham Xuan Manh told the media before Hanoi ’s training session on the afternoon of October 15.

The match between Hanoi and Ninh Binh in round 7 of V.League 2025/26 will take place on October 18. That means, coach Harry Kewell only has 10 days to prepare for his debut in V.League. The challenge for the Australian coach is not simple, because Ninh Binh is in good form, leading the rankings.

However, Xuan Manh believes that coach Harry Kewell, with his experience, will lead the capital team back to the championship race soon. The player born in 1996 expressed: "The whole team is highly focused to adapt as quickly as possible to coach Kewell's tactics. I think coach Kewell will bring a new breeze, help the team's spirit to improve, create a fresh atmosphere so that the team can enter the field with the most comfortable and confident mindset."

Besides, Xuan Manh is eager to work with the new captain of the capital team right after returning from the national team: "I am very eager to work with the new coach. Today is just a recovery training session, tomorrow I will practice with the team. I look forward to new things from the coach so that I can adapt as quickly and best as possible and win many victories with the whole team."

Finally, Xuan Manh hopes that the appearance of Coach Kewell promises to bring a new look to Hanoi in both playing style and fighting spirit. Facing the challenge of Ninh Binh, the capital team is ready for a new start under the reign of the Australian coach.
