"This also shows that the nature of the matches at the TNSV THACO Cup 2024 tournament, right from the qualifying round, has been extremely difficult. In the coming time, the play-off matches will be very harsh and it is unknown what will happen. Because here, the teams are all very strong, professional and well-organized with very careful preparation," coach Nguyen Vo Hoang Phu shared.
