CAHN poised to become the strongest team in V-League history

Hanoi Police FC is closing in on the title with superior stats, fueling discussions on whether they are the most powerful team in V-League history within one season.

Whether Hanoi Police FC (CAHN) is the strongest team in V-League history for a single season is increasingly substantiated, as the police department's team moves closer than ever to the crown. It's not just about points; their journey also bears the hallmark of comprehensive dominance.

After 19 rounds, Coach Alexandre Polking's squad has secured 48 points, creating a 7-point gap over the closest pursuer, Viettel. This is not merely an advantage but a "safe zone" in a highly competitive league context. With 44 goals scored and only 15 conceded, CAHN boasts the strongest attack and one of the most solid defenses in the league.

The notable aspect lies in how CAHN achieves these numbers. They do not rely on a specific individual but operate as a synchronized machine, where every line performs at high efficiency. Squad depth enables this team to maintain pressing intensity, control the game, and finish opponents under any circumstances.

Compared to the legendary 2018 season of Hanoi FC under Chu Dinh Nghiem, CAHN does not fall short. After 19 rounds, Hanoi FC that year also had 15 wins – equivalent to CAHN's current tally. The biggest differences lie in goal difference and point gap, but the competitive context between the two seasons is entirely distinct.

In 2018, the large gap created by Hanoi FC partly reflected the opponents' fatigue. Meanwhile, the current season sees a high-quality chasing group including Viettel, Ninh Binh FC, and Hanoi FC itself. The number of wins these teams have would even suffice to win the title in a "normal" season, indicating the overall league standard has significantly risen.

Therefore, the 7-point gap CAHN has established holds even greater value. In a season deemed the fiercest in many years, maintaining such superiority is clear proof of their caliber. If they sustain this form over the remaining 7 rounds, Coach Polking's team could indeed set unprecedented milestones.

Nevertheless, history is not determined at the present moment but at the final destination. Recent slip-ups against PVF-CAND or Hanoi FC serve as warnings that the journey is not yet complete. But if CAHN concludes the season with a dominant streak of victories, the question of "the strongest team in V-League history" may no longer be a hypothesis but a conclusion.
