Nguyen Quang Hai is at risk of missing his appointment with Man United

Hanoi Police missed the opportunity to close the gap with the top 3 when they were held to a goalless draw by Ho Chi Minh City FC at Hang Day Stadium in round 19 of the 2024-2025 V-League. The police team even suffered a loss of personnel due to the two red cards of Van Duc and Ngoc Thang.

Hanoi Police lost the chance to enter the top 3 because of a draw in round 19.

However, the worrying thing for Hanoi Police at the end of the season is that "conductor" Nguyen Quang Hai is not in good physical condition to compete. Not in the best physical condition, this 28-year-old midfielder only played for about 30 minutes at the end of the goalless draw on April 18. This is also the first time Quang Hai has played from the bench in the V-League this season.

Quang Hai, Hoang Duc and Duy Manh are the three Vietnamese players named in the Southeast Asian All-Stars squad for a friendly match against Manchester United in Malaysia on May 28. However, the midfielder from the Hanoi Police may not be able to participate in this match to preserve his physical strength and prepare for the high-octane match schedule of his home team.

Coach Polking shared: "I really didn't want Quang Hai to play in the 19th round because of his physical condition. Quang Hai plays an important role for the team. However, when Hanoi Police encountered difficulties, Hai proactively asked to enter the field to play and I had to believe in my student."

The Brazilian strategist also said that he will closely monitor Quang Hai's physical condition because the competition schedule at the end of May is very dense. If Quang Hai's physical condition is not good, Mr. Polking will ask the club to intervene so that this midfielder will not go to Malaysia to play a friendly match with Man United.

Hanoi Police is the only V-League club still participating in international competitions this season. Coach Polking and his team will play 6-8 matches in May, including the quarter-finals of the National Cup and the second leg of the semi-finals of the Southeast Asian Club Championship. If they reach the final, Hanoi Police will have to plow through 8 matches within 1 month, with a frequency of 3-4 days/match.
