Nam Dinh coach 'I cannot make excuses for the shocking loss to CAHN', coach Polking is elated

Playing at home, Nam Dinh FC entered the match with a very high level of initiative. Coach Vu Hong Viet's team controlled the ball better, continuously launching attacks towards the away team's goal. However, when the strikers could not take advantage of the opportunity, Nam Dinh FC was unexpectedly punctured by Van Thanh at the end of the first half. In the second half, the team from Thanh Nam rushed forward to attack to find an equalizer but could not find Nguyen Filip's net once. Not only that, Nam Dinh FC also received 2 more goals from goals by Leo Artur (minute 48) and Alan (minute 61).

Coach Vu Hong Viet expressed his disappointment after losing 0-3: “A sad match for the whole team when losing right at home. I think Nam Dinh Club was hasty in the final situations when attacking, causing regrettable missed scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, CAHN Club executed their attacking moves well. Alan, Artur - foreign players of CAHN Club are very good, quality players. Nam Dinh Club knows very well their weaknesses and strengths but cannot stop them.”

The 0-3 loss to CAHN FC also caused Nam Dinh to break their streak of 6 consecutive unbeaten matches in all competitions. The 2023-2024 V-League champion has now dropped to 8th place, missing the opportunity to equalize points with the top team, Thanh Hoa FC (10 points). Notably, this is the second consecutive match that Nam Dinh FC has conceded 3 goals in a match. Previously, when visiting Tapines Rovers FC (Singapore) in AFC Champions League 2 (October 24), Nam Dinh FC also conceded 3 goals.

Coach Vu Hong Viet commented: “Having to travel a lot has clearly affected Nam Dinh Club’s physical strength. Since the beginning of the tournament, we have had to play 4 or 5 days/match, so we are very tired. However, I cannot use this as an excuse for the loss to CAHN Club. Nam Dinh Club tried, did very well, and always focused after conceding a goal. The team needs to learn from experience and look forward to the next matches. In particular, Nam Dinh Club’s defense must be improved.”

Nam Dinh Club played ineffectively in both defense and attack.

On the other side, the victory over Nam Dinh Club brought CAHN Club to 5th place with 8 points. Coach Polking showed his skill in this match when he let CAHN Club players play slowly, waiting for Nam Dinh Club to make a mistake. After the match, Coach Polking expressed his satisfaction: “We tried our best and won 3 valuable points. In this match, CAHN players fought hard, but after the 3rd goal, there was a slight loss of concentration.

In the first half, we controlled the ball, in the second half we attacked more. After the third goal, Nam Dinh FC played as if they had nothing to lose, putting a lot of pressure on CAHN FC. However, as I said, even if the team creates a 3-goal gap, everyone still has to fight until the last minute, no one is allowed to be careless."

CAHN Club has a convincing away win

In the match against Nam Dinh FC, Vu Van Thanh was one of the most outstanding players. In addition to the goal at the end of the first half, Van Thanh also directly assisted Leo Artur to double the gap. However, he said that this was not his best performance and that he needed to try harder.

Van Thanh revealed: “Since moving from HAGL Club to CAHN Club, I think I have not played well. At a club with greater ambitions, I think the team needs players to show more. Therefore, I must always try my best in the next matches.”

Van Thanh (middle) said that CAHN Club has prepared very carefully for the match against Nam Dinh.

“When facing Nam Dinh FC, CAHN FC had a week to prepare carefully for the game. When entering the field, the players always followed the tactics of Coach Polking, so they achieved the desired results. This is a very important victory for CAHN FC. The whole team will try their best in the next matches to chase the top spot in the table,” Van Thanh added.
