What key will help Ho Chi Minh City Police Club surprise the defending champion?

After the FIFA Days break in September, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is ready to welcome the reigning champion Nam Dinh. The integration of foreign players, the support of Thong Nhat and the excellence of goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang... are the factors for coach Le Huynh Duc and his team to aim for positive results.

Ho Chi Minh City Police Club takes advantage of break

After the first 3 rounds of V-League 2025-2026, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club has won 6 points with 2 wins at home (against Hanoi Club and HAGL). That achievement not only brings confidence, but also affirms the rookie team under the hands of veteran coach Le Huynh Duc. Now, when preparing to face the reigning champion Nam Dinh in round 4, Ho Chi Minh City Police team is completely capable of creating a surprise.

The first advantage is the FIFA Days break in September. The two-week break provides valuable time for the coaching staff to consolidate the squad, especially helping foreign players integrate better. In fact, foreign players are an important factor in determining the competitiveness of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club. If they find a common voice with domestic players, the team can completely become a tough opponent for any "big guy".

Besides the integration of the new recruits, Thong Nhat home field continues to be an indispensable spiritual support. Both victories since the beginning of the season of Ho Chi Minh City Police took place here, where the audience always creates a passionate atmosphere. With this advantage, the players can easily play more freely and confidently in the confrontation with Nam Dinh.

Another key factor is the tactical preparation of coach Le Huynh Duc. During the recent break, this veteran coach focused on "adjusting the aim" for his students, in order to improve their ability to take advantage of opportunities. With a well-organized and disciplined playing style, the Ho Chi Minh City Police team promises to exploit key moments to create an advantage over the defending champions.

In particular, the role of goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang is equally important. With his extensive experience and brave playing style, he is a reliable stopper to neutralize attacks from Nam Dinh's tall foreign players. Not just a "goalkeeper", if Le Giang plays, he will definitely instill confidence in the whole team, helping the defense system to be more stable in times of pressure.

On the other hand, Nam Dinh FC has just gone through a break for coach Vu Hong Viet to make adjustments. After the first rounds of psychological instability, the team from Thanh Nam is expected to regain cohesion and at the same time affirm its position as the champion of 2 consecutive seasons. This is certainly a big challenge for the new recruit of Ho Chi Minh City Police Club.

However, with careful preparation, home field advantage and factors that can shine at the right time, coach Le Huynh Duc and his team have every reason to hope for a positive result against Nam Dinh Club, even creating a surprise in round 4 of V-League 2025-2026.
