6 factors to help Hanoi win the V-League 2022
Before the latest title, Hanoi FC won the V-League in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019. They thereby became the most successful club in the Vietnamese national championship. "We can do something that no other team can do," Nguyen Van Quyet shared after defeating Ha Tinh 2-0 on the evening of November 13 to win a round early at Hang Day Stadium.
Van Quyet and Pham Thanh Luong entered V-League history as the most champions - five times. And right behind them are juniors, such as Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Pham Duc Huy, Do Duy Manh, and Tran Van Kien, all four times crowned. Doan Van Hau, 23 years old, also won three titles. A new cycle can form to maintain the current stability, giving everyone the opportunity to rise and break the record of Thanh Luong and Van Quyet.
Hanoi's domination of the V-League was once considered an anomaly in Vietnamese football. But in reality, Asia has many similar examples, such as Buriram United in Thai League - winning seven of the last 11 seasons, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in K-League 1 - winning seven of the last nine seasons, or Johor Darul Ta'zim dominated the Malaysian Championship nine seasons in a row. The V-League is still highly competitive, with five other teams taking the throne next to Hanoi in the past 11 years.
After Mr. Nghiem left, Hanoi spent half a year in turmoil. At the beginning of this season, they also said goodbye to a series of pillars, including Nguyen Quang Hai, Tran Dinh Trong or foreign soldier Moses Oloya. Many people have thought about a new crisis at Hang Day yard. But stability was quickly established, when Hanoi once again affirmed the philosophy "no individual is greater than the club".
From the position of assistant to coach Lee Heung-sil at Viettel in 2019 and then coach Park Choong-kyun at Hanoi FC in 2021, Chun became a stuntman when he was promoted to replace his predecessor two weeks before the V-League. 2022 kicks off. He said one of the reasons for success is not to make the same mistakes as Coach Lee and Park.
"They apply Korean culture to Vietnamese football," said Coach Chun. "The players are not used to it and suffer from a lot of psychology. I can confirm that my two compatriots do not fully understand Vietnamese culture. I have learned from this experience and applied the experience after two years as an assistant. coach Truong Viet Hoang at Viettel to get success".
The coach, born in 1979, received effective help from the Vietnamese assistant team, but also has some unique marks. He effectively rotates the thick force of Hanoi and is ready to give opportunities to young players. Le Xuan Tu, Dau Van Toan, Truong Van Thai Quy showed their desire and continued to be the main kick. They make good use of the time when the seniors who were on the national team like Vu Minh Tuan and Pham Duc Huy are down.
The whole first leg Hanoi FC scored 19 goals, this number in the second leg was 27. And they still have one match to play - against HAGL in the final round, to become the strongest attack. Meanwhile, the defense has only conceded 20 goals, the lowest among the championship seasons and the second lowest in the history of playing in the V-League.
