Mano Polking – Velizar Popov: Fire vs. Fire
Mr. Mano Polking (German-Brazilian) and Mr. Velizar Popov (Bulgarian) are the last remaining foreign coaches in the V-League. Of course, to stay in this tournament, they must be full of personality and must be highly appreciated in terms of professional ability.
The confrontation between coach Popov and coach Polking (right) promises to be exciting.
Before returning to Vietnam, Mr. Mano Polking won the AFF Cup twice in 2020 and 2022 with the Thai team. This time, he leads the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) with the same goal of winning the championship.
Before Coach Mano Polking arrived, CAHN Club went through a period of instability in the technical area. Coaches Gong Oh Ky-un (Korea), Kiatisak (Thailand) and Tran Tien Dai took turns leading the team last season, but none of them were successful, even though they were all famous professionals. They failed and Coach Mano Polking was expected to do more than his predecessors, helping CAHN play more stably. Maintaining stability for a team with many stars and personalities is certainly not easy, requiring the technical area boss of this team to also be rich in personality. If he cannot do that, it is not difficult to imagine what the end of Coach Mano Polking will be.
CAHN is a team that needs immediate success, they drew with Hai Phong in the opening match, they cannot lose any more points in the second round. To defeat their opponent in the second round, coach Mano Polking must overcome his personality-rich counterpart on the Thanh Hoa team: coach Popov.
CAHN Club (right) really needs a win at this time.
Mr. Popov is not as lucky as Mr. Polking, which is to own a team with many stars. Therefore, the story of winning the V-League championship for Thanh Hoa team is quite far away. However, to block the candidates for the V-League championship is something that coach Popov's team can do.
The Thanh Hoa team has an annoying playing style, just like the personality of the Bulgarian coach. It is very difficult to predict when the Thanh Hoa team will play calmly and leisurely like the moments of sudden silence of coach Popov, and even more impossible to know when the team will explode strongly like the moments when Mr. Popov rushed to the sidelines to urge his students, even reacting strongly to the referee?
A Thanh Hoa team is very unpredictable and very difficult to defeat, forcing coach Mano Polking and CAHN Club to decode, if they still want to be ranked above the Thanh team.
Thanh Hoa Club (yellow shirt) is increasingly unpredictable under the hands of coach Popov.
Hoang Anh Tuan - Chu Dinh Nghiem: Soft silk fights hot iron
Also looking for the first V-League championship title in his coaching career like Mr. Mano Polking is coach Hoang Anh Tuan of Binh Duong. Mr. Tuan is also similar to Mr. Polking in that he has had success at the national team level (winning the U.23 Southeast Asian Championship in 2023), but has never had any achievements at the club level.
The only difference between Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and Coach Mano Polking is that Mr. Tuan rarely reacts openly to the referee. Mr. Tuan is gentle but meticulous, respects the discipline of the team he leads, but does not use an "iron fist", but often applies the method of "softly tie tightly".
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan had a successful opening match of V-League with Binh Duong Club.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's personality greatly affects the performance of the team he leads on the field. Maybe Mr. Tuan's Binh Duong team does not rush to play in a way that attacks the opponent first, but the siege of the Southeast team against the opponents will gradually be tightened at the right time, before they launch the finishing blow against the opponent.
Because Mr. Tuan is meticulous and cautious, it has never been easy to defeat the teams he leads. Just look at how Binh Duong defeated Thanh Hoa in the previous round: Binh Duong played slowly as if to lull the opponent to sleep and then suddenly launched a blow. After that, the opponent pushed forward to find an equalizer, only to be hit again.
This weekend, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan will face a character with a personality quite similar to Coach Popov last week, and at the same time has a personality opposite to Coach Hoang Anh Tuan, that is Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem of Hai Phong team.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan will have the opportunity to confront one of the coaches with strong personalities in V-League, Chu Dinh Nghiem.
From the time he was in charge of Hanoi FC until he returned to the Hai Phong team, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem always built an attacking style of play for his team. Just like Thanh Hoa of Coach Popov, Hai Phong of Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is not strong enough to win the V-League, but the Hai Phong team is strong enough to stop the championship candidates. Moreover, don't forget that Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem has experience in winning the V-League (when he was still leading Hanoi FC). This is the experience that Coach Hoang Anh Tuan still lacks and is on the journey to find!
