What other tricks do Mr. Vu Tien Thanh and HAGL have when confronting the multi-talented coach Polking?

Coach Mano Polking (German-Brazilian) and Technical Director (GDKT) Vu Tien Thanh of HAGL Club are going through contrasting days. Mr. Vu Tien Thanh's HAGL started this season very well, at times they were at the top of the rankings. On the contrary, Coach Mano Polking and Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) had a rather difficult start to the 2024-2025 V-League.

The difficult early season was also the period when coach Mano Polking was doubted about his ability, as well as his position. However, up to now, Mr. Polking is guiding CAHN Club in the right direction.

In the last 2 matches, the team that won the V-League 2023 won all, scored a total of 6 goals, and did not concede any goals. CAHN took the top spot and is expected to hold this position for a while longer. On the other hand, after 2 wins in the first 2 rounds, HAGL has gone 4 consecutive matches in the last 4 rounds without a win. In particular, HAGL's heavy 1-4 loss in the previous round exposed many weaknesses of the team under Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh.

In theory, what Binh Duong did against HAGL, CAHN Club can also do. Because, in terms of force, CAHN this season has a better force than Binh Duong. What coach Hoang Anh Tuan of Binh Duong read out of HAGL's playing style, perhaps coach Mano Polking also read out.

Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh's team is strong in aerial situations, especially in set pieces, and coach Mano Polking will pay attention to this detail. At the same time, Mr. Polking has many good central defenders, enough to control similar attacks from HAGL.

HAGL is weak in covering and lacks good defensive midfielders. This could be a danger for the mountain town team, because CAHN has both good foreign strikers and very dangerous attacking midfielders with good long-range shooting, such as Quang Hai, Le Van Do, Thanh Long… They are ready to punish HAGL’s lack of concentration when the team leaves gaps.

Moreover, HAGL of Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh is usually only strong when playing counter-attacks, when the opponent pushes up the formation to play fast. Suppose, Coach Mano Polking of CAHN Club also discovered this, he just leisurely let his team play slowly, using the superior quality of human resources to force HAGL to make mistakes, Mr. Vu Tien Thanh's team will face another concern.

HAGL Club is predicted to face many difficulties against Hanoi Police Club.

To successfully control the opponent, HAGL Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh must hope that CAHN's star players will not be in good form when CAHN visits Pleiku on November 9. Or, Mr. Thanh must find a special plan to surprise the opponent. Unfortunately, in the current situation where HAGL does not have abundant human resources, Mr. Vu Tien Thanh is afraid that he does not have enough "flour" to "make glue".
