"When I saw the Ha Tinh pitch, all my plans almost fell apart," coach Polking said at a press conference after Ha Tinh drew with the Hanoi Police Club on the evening of February 10. The police team did not create any dangerous opportunities. On the contrary, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip and his teammates had to continuously show their talent to save the Hanoi Police Club to keep 1 point with a 0-0 draw.
According to coach Alexandre Polking, the poor quality of the pitch prevented Hanoi Police Club from playing as expected. This coach also believes that this is an important reason for Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club to maintain an unbeaten streak of 12 consecutive matches in the V.League this season.

"It's a shame that teams have to play on pitches like this. Today my players couldn't play the football we want. The ball bounced too much and it was difficult to control. We had to play longer balls than usual. There were long breaks, which should have been used to maintain the pitch. The bad pitch affects all teams.
There are two reasons why Ha Tinh FC is unbeaten. They have very good foreign players. A striker and a very strong central defender. The players are determined and united. Second, they have the advantage of being familiar with the field. Playing on this field, it is very difficult for away teams to defeat Ha Tinh," said the head coach of the Hanoi Police Club.
Responding to his colleague’s opinion, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong said that Ha Tinh’s pitch was not good due to the weather. Not only the away teams, Ha Tinh Club was also affected in their playing style due to the unfavorable pitch.
As of the end of round 12 of V.League 2024-2025, Ha Tinh Club has not lost any match. They are the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the tournament (7 goals). However, Ha Tinh Club has only won 3 matches. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his students have drawn 9 matches.
