In recent seasons, it is rare for the National Super Cup match to be as balanced as the confrontation between Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police. In terms of force, both teams have many expensive foreign players with very high professional quality. Their domestic squad also includes many top national players.
Even the form in the final stages of the season of Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police also has many similarities. The team from Thanh Nam plays persistently, stably and puts efficiency first. Tuan Anh and his teammates bang to the finish line when Hanoi FC and The Cong Viettel gradually ran out of steam in the penultimate rounds.
On the contrary, Hanoi Police Club did not play very successfully in the V.League but achieved good results in the cup competitions. The Southeast Asian Cup C1 saw the Police team go to the final match, only losing to Buriram United (Thailand) in a lucky penalty shootout.
Hanoi Police pursued a beautiful attacking style of play, coordinating in small groups and controlling the ball, developing the ball from the home field. Coach Alexandre Polking was steadfast in this style of play and did not allow players to use many long passes despite Alan - Leo Artur being excellent.
The National Super Cup will see two opposing football schools appear on the field. Fans are waiting for many goals to be scored. It would be great if the opponent of the match was the Hanoi Police Club. At that time, Nam Dinh will shake off the defensive wall and play open-minded attacking football.
It should be recognized that Nam Dinh is capable of pressuring many opponents in the V.League and Hanoi Police is no exception. But coach Vu Hong Viet is good at calculating and the battle of wits with Mr. Polking can decide the whole game.
The National Super Cup match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police takes place at 6:00 p.m. today (August 9) at Thien Truong Stadium.
Expected lineup:
Nam Dinh: Nguyen Manh, Kevin Pham Ba, Thanh Hao, Lucas Alves, Van Vi, Hoang Anh, Romulo, A Mit, Ti Phong, Van Toan, Brenner.
Hanoi Police: Nguyen Filip, Thanh Long, Viet Anh, Dinh Trong, Gomes Hugo, Quang Vinh, Ly Brand, Quang Hai, Mauk Igo, Van Duc, Alan.
