Coach Park Hang Seo or Coach Polking is more suitable for Hanoi Police Club?

On the morning of December 26, Coach Mano Polking announced that he would replace Coach Gong Oh Kyun on January 5. In the evening of the same day, Coach Park Hang Seo unexpectedly went to Hang Day Stadium to watch the match between Hanoi Police Club and Binh Duong. This increased the possibility of Coach Park going to Hanoi Police Club.

So who is suitable for Hanoi Police Club at this time?

Coach Polking's Control Style of Play

Coach Polking, when leading Ho Chi Minh City Club or the Thai National Team before, always built a ball control style of play. This is a style of play following the development trend of world football. Besides, this is also the football philosophy that Hanoi Police Club has tried to pursue in recent times.

Hanoi Police Club choosing Coach Gong Oh Kyun is a concrete proof of their desire to have a beautiful and sustainable playing style. If they choose Coach Polking to replace Coach Gong, it is also reasonable and at the same time shows their steadfastness and determination to pursue a playing style that is in line with the trends of world football.

However, the ball control style of play requires a lot of time and also requires high quality players. If Coach Polking is appointed to lead the Hanoi Police Club, he will also face the same difficulties as Coach Gong. Of course, each person's way of doing things will be different, but that said, the possibility of failure of the Brazilian Coach is there.

Another advantage of Coach Polking compared to Coach Park Hang Seo is his experience leading a Club in the V-League. Although he only worked for a short time at Thong Nhat Stadium, it was probably enough to help Coach Polking visualize the rotation and style of play in the V-League.

Meanwhile, Coach Park has never worked in the V-League. The last time he led a Club was in 2017, 6 years ago. The way of working in national teams and Clubs is always very different. Coach Gong's failure has proven this difference.

Coach Park Hang Seo understands players better

At the Hanoi Police Club at this time, there are many players who have grown up and know Coach Park Hang Seo. We can mention Ho Tan Tai, Quang Hai, Van Hau, Van Thanh, Bui Tien Dung or Bui Hoang Viet Anh. If Coach Park is appointed to lead the Hanoi Police Club, he and the players will not waste time getting to know each other and getting in sync. The important players of the Hanoi Police Club can completely deploy the playing style that Coach Park wants quickly.

However, Coach Park always prioritizes defense first. This football philosophy is no longer suitable for the development trend of world football. There are not many coaches in the world who prioritize defense.

This season, Hanoi Police Club has only kept a clean sheet in 4/9 matches on all fronts. For a team chasing the title like Hanoi Police Club, their defense still needs to be more solid. Therefore, at this time, Coach Park is a more suitable choice because the ability to achieve quick results is completely visible. As for Coach Polking, the Hang Day team may have to take a long time to build a playing style and choose people.

Coach Park Hang Seo and Coach Mano Polking both have their strengths and weaknesses. No coach is perfect, not even Pep Guardiola. The Hanoi Police Club chooses who depends a lot on the team's direction of building and development. However, both Coach Park and Coach Polking are famous people with achievements in their careers, so no matter who they choose, Hanoi Police Club will be led by a high-class and quality coach.
