Coach Polking disappointed, Coach Popov wants the referee to be fairer

"The rain made a difference and prevented both teams from playing. We played according to our plan, but we conceded an unwanted goal, which is very disappointing.

Hanoi Police Club tried hard but the goal did not come. We will quickly recover and continue to prepare for the upcoming match," coach Mano Polking of Hanoi Police Club assessed the match.

Despite losing, the German coach praised Dinh Bac: "He is very fast and skillful. In this match, Dinh Bac showed his ability, winning many one-on-one confrontations, dribbling and creating opportunities for his teammates.

He has potential, but needs time to improve. Dinh Bac will become an important player for the Hanoi Police Club."

"Hanoi Police have quality domestic players, the problem is we need time and need to return to victory immediately," Coach Polking affirmed.

Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa coach Velizar Popov said: "I am satisfied with the whole team, the players performed well today. Regarding physical strength, we played against a top club in Vietnamese football, but the team maintained pressure, not allowing the opponent to deploy their playing style.

The players followed the set tactics and took advantage of the opportunities to score, bringing about this victory. The team spirit was commendable, despite the fact that there were many young players on the field as well as off the bench.

We put pressure on from the first minutes, did well in terms of technique, tactics and ball control. Thanh Hoa players may not be as good as other teams, so the coaching staff needs to inspire them to have fighting spirit on the field.

Without pressure, we cannot stop Hanoi Police Club from developing the ball and will concede goals. To do so, the players moved actively. They gave their all in the match."

After winning against Hanoi Police, Coach Popov affirmed: "We need fair refereeing. If so, Thanh Hoa can defeat any opponent. Even in the first match against Binh Duong , we played very well, even better than this match."

In the match between Hanoi Police Club and Thanh Hoa at Hang Day Stadium in round 2 of LPBank V-League 2024-24 on the evening of September 20, the Thanh team won 1-0 thanks to the only goal by Yago Ramos in the 59th minute.
