Hanoi Police Club with a chance to "get 3"

In the context of human resources being depleted when having to "struggle" in many arenas, the responsibility of pillars like Nguyen Quang Hai becomes important for the police team. CAHN will host Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 19 of V-League 2024-2025 taking place at Hang Day Stadium at 7:15 p.m. on April 18 (FPT Play). Competing with an opponent considered weaker, Coach Polking's team has a "wide door" to win to narrow the gap with the top 2 on the rankings.

The start of the season was not very smooth but CAHN is in the group of 4 clubs leading the V-League rankings with 28 points after 18 matches, 7 points behind the leading team Nam Dinh. In addition, CAHN also entered the quarter-finals of the National Cup and the semi-finals of the 2025 Southeast Asian Club Championship.

Competing with a tight schedule has caused coach Polking's team to lose manpower due to injuries. The reserve force has a huge difference in class compared to the main squad, so the CAHN coaching staff also has many difficulties in rotating players and assembling suitable personnel for each match.

Therefore, CAHN Club could not maintain its peak performance in the final stages of the season, losing many regrettable points against teams that were considered weaker. However, in the V-League, CAHN is on a 5-match unbeaten streak, including 3 wins. The impressive achievement was achieved thanks to the important contributions of key players such as Nguyen Quang Hai, Le Pham Thanh Long, Nguyen Filip, Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Alan Grafite.

Among them, Quang Hai is considered an important player who helps smoothly operate the tactical strategy and playing philosophy built by coach Polking. Considered the leader of the midfield, the 28-year-old midfielder always appears in the starting lineup of CAHN this season, taking charge, coordinating the match tempo, supporting attacks and intercepting from a distance.

Statistics after 18 rounds of V-League this season show that Quang Hai is the CAHN player with the most playing time with 1,778 minutes, scoring 2 goals and contributing 5 assists. Since the beginning of 2023, Quang Hai has scored 11 goals in 48 matches in V-League, scoring 3 goals in 26 appearances for the Vietnam national team. Therefore, the absence of "Hai con" in the squad will be a huge disadvantage, affecting the home team's championship goal this season.

After a difficult time playing in France, Quang Hai gradually "revived" when joining CAHN Club from the beginning of 2023. He quickly became an indispensable link in the squad of his home club and is still one of the best attacking midfielders of the Vietnamese team at the present time.

Quang Hai will play for CAHN until the end of 2027 and may have his contract extended despite having passed the peak of his playing career, with the option for him to take on a coaching or management role at the club.
