The decision of the VFF Disciplinary Committee, according to the 2026 Disciplinary Regulation, is the maximum frame level (4 matches plus 20 million VND). Although there are still many assessments that "it's still too light", the "limited frame" penalty is enough to show the seriousness of the problem. It is no longer unintentional or intentional, when the factor of "body infringement" is considered.
Discussing "heavy, light", according to calculations, with 4 matches banned in domestic leagues, because Hanoi Police are not yet playing in the National Cup, Van Hau will be out for 4 matches in the V.League until the end of October. It sounds long, but the reality is that the defender from Thai Binh (old) did not have to sit out for a whole month and a half. The Capital team has 2 matches in the AFC Champions League and 1 match in the ASEAN Club Championship, not to mention Van Hau may be called up to the national team to participate in the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026, with the ability to play 3 to 4 matches.
Meaning, suspending 4 matches in the V.League is just an opportunity to "recover strength" for other goals. Therefore, 4 matches, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Also number 4, also related to Hanoi Police and Van Hau, but 4 goals conceded in the opening match of the AFC Champions League against Gamba Osaka. Still looking at the first few minutes playing well and more shots (15/13) to reduce the heavyness of the defeat against the starting lineup of only Japanese players (3 out of 4 of their goals were scored before substitution). The score not only confirms the level gap but also makes people even sadder with thoughts and assessments that "the Japanese are destroying Vietnamese football".
Also number 4, also at the same time in Japan, U23 Vietnam players 4 times hit the crossbar and post of U23 Kuwait in the opening match of ASIAD 20. 17 is the total number of shots, only bringing 1 goal in the 1-1 draw result.
In the goal of playing at least 4 matches (passing the group stage and reaching the quarter-finals) of U23 Vietnam, or the effectiveness of the reigning V.League champion, then the failure of the U20 team as well as the women's team, the issue of finishing has been systematic for a long time.
Just deliberately not realizing it!
