All things begin... luck
V-League 2025 - 2026 is the first official season of Binh Duong football "monument": Coach Nguyen Anh Duc. The last five rounds of last season were just enough draft for the former Vietnam national team striker to shoulder the responsibility of renewing Becamex TP.HCM.
The 3-0 victory over host Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the opening match helped coach Anh Duc have a satisfactory debut. The 3 points at the beginning of the season somewhat eased the scrutiny of Becamex TP.HCM - a team that has changed almost completely, from its name to its squad.
To let striker Tien Linh go to Cong An TP.HCM Club, Becamex TP.HCM welcomed 16 new players. Coach Anh Duc rebuilt and renewed everything with the help of Japanese advisor Naoki Kusunose - who is making silent contributions after 3 months of working.
"Each opponent is a different preparation. The coaching staff always does their best so that the players can perform their best and bring positive results. Hanoi Police Club is a strong team. They have a fairly tight match schedule and that is a point to note," commented coach Anh Duc.
V-League has just gone through one round and there is still time for teams to change personnel before round 3. Therefore, the temporary results at this time are not the basis for properly assessing their ability. In this regard, Hanoi Police Club is the team in the "upper position".
Overcoming the shock in Thailand
Hanoi Police Club returned to V-League with significant losses in personnel and morale. Accordingly, center back Bui Hoang Viet Anh received 14 stitches and is likely to be absent.
Defender Tran Dinh Trong is uncertain to start after being injured in the 1-2 loss to BG Pathum United in the ASEAN Club Championship on August 20.
Despite having one more player for nearly half of the match, coach Alexandre Polking and his team could not take advantage of the situation when Chanathip Songkrasin scored two goals in the second half and left with a feeling of self-blame.
It seemed that with the double title of National Cup 2024 - 2025 and National Super Cup 2025 - 2026, Hanoi Police Club would be full of enthusiasm to enter the new season. But the current results are challenging them with only 1 point after the draw with The Cong - Viettel.
The spread of players this season will continue to be a difficult problem for coach Polking. Last year they only finished in 3rd place. Although there are some differences compared to last season, Hanoi Police Club will still rely on the familiar framework of Quang Hai, Van Duc, Alan, Leo and Dinh Bac. This will help increase the understanding in the playing style but also means that it is easy for other teams to predict.
Hanoi Police Club will still rely heavily on the breakthrough of Alan and Leo to finish the match. Therefore, if Becamex TP.HCM can lock this striker pair like BG Pathum United, Hanoi Police Club will easily have another shock in the early part of the season.
