The highlight of this round is at Hang Day Stadium, where Hanoi FC (8 points) will face the league leaders Ninh Binh FC (14 points). For the home team, this will mark the debut of new head coach Harry Kewell – an Australian football legend who once shone brightly with Liverpool in the English Premier League.
However, despite 10 years coaching lower-tier English clubs and Yokohama Marinos (Japan), the 47-year-old former star has yet to make a significant mark. Still, Hanoi FC fans are hopeful that the partnership between Hanoi and Kewell will bring positive changes both to the team’s performance and the coach’s career from the “land down under.”
Another notable figure is Đỗ Hoàng Hên – known as Hendrio – who has obtained Vietnamese citizenship, allowing him to play as a “naturalized player” rather than just a foreigner. On the opposite side, Ninh Binh FC is in great form with 4 wins and 2 draws, maintaining their top position in the league.
However, two consecutive draws (against Hai Phong and Viettel) indicate that coach Albadalejo’s team will face tough challenges in their championship pursuit. This match promises to be intense, exciting, and unpredictable as both sides feature national team stars!
