Coach Kewell reveals key to Hanoi FC's resurgence in the race

Coach Harry Kewell emphasizes the importance of training ahead of the match against TP.HCM, as Hanoi FC needs a win to stay in the top group, while their opponent struggles in the lower half of the standings.

On the eve of the clash with Becamex TP.HCM, Coach Harry Kewell shared notable insights about Hanoi FC's process of improving their form, while expressing determination to secure a positive result to keep chasing the top group in the V-League.

Currently, Hanoi FC ranks 4th on the table after 18 rounds with 30 points. While they still have a chance to compete, the gap with the top team, Công An Hanoi, has widened to 15 points, forcing the capital city club to maintain stability if they don't want to be left behind in the championship race.

Meanwhile, opponent Becamex TP.HCM stands 10th with 19 points, only slightly ahead of the bottom group by a not-so-safe margin. This makes the upcoming match particularly crucial for both sides, as one needs points to stay in the top group, while the other must fight for survival.

Speaking before the match, Coach Harry Kewell stressed that the core factor helping the team improve its form is diligence in training. “The only way for things to get better is through training. Training cannot create perfection immediately, but it builds habits. That's why we work hard on the training pitch and improve every day,” the Australian strategist shared.

Under Kewell's guidance, Hanoi FC is showing positive signs in its gameplay, especially in ball control and attacking organization. However, inconsistency remains an issue preventing the team from making a strong breakthrough on the standings.

Against a Becamex TP.HCM hungry for points, Hanoi FC will certainly face considerable difficulties. Nevertheless, with advantages in squad strength and quality, the capital city team is still rated higher in this encounter.

The message Coach Harry Kewell sends to his players is clear: there is no shortcut to success other than persistent daily effort. And if they maintain that spirit, Hanoi FC can certainly make a breakthrough in the crucial phase of the season.
