On the evening of September 20, in the earliest match of round 2 of V-League 2024-2025, Thanh Hoa Club of coach Popov defeated CAHN team 1-0 thanks to the only goal of Yago Ramos. Nguyen Quang Hai and stars such as Nguyen Dinh Bac, Vu Van Thanh, Phan Van Duc, Leo Artur... were almost deadlocked, unable to create many impressive combinations, so they had to accept defeat.
Coach Velizar Popov is full of 'blood' on the sidelines
In the post-match press conference, Thanh Hoa FC coach Velizar Popov shared: “I am satisfied with the performance of the whole team. The players performed well on the day of facing the top club in Vietnam. We moved a lot, put pressure, and did not give the opponent much space to play the ball. The players followed the set tactics, played patiently, waiting for the opportunity to score. Our spirit was also very good.”
Thanh Hoa Club deserved victory over home team CAHN
The Bulgarian coach also shared his enthusiastic coaching style. He said: “I want to inspire my players to play on the field. We do not have the same quality as the other team, so we have to make sure that the players show their determination on the field. Because when we do not put pressure on them, the opponent will be free to play and we will concede many goals. It forces Thanh Hoa Club players to move a lot.”
Coach Alexandre Polking was disappointed with the result of the match.
On the other side of the front line, coach Alexandre Polking could not hide his sadness: “We played according to the original strategy but conceded a goal in an unexpected way (Leo Artur lost the ball in the middle of the field, opening up a counter-attack opportunity and scoring for Thanh Hoa Club - PV). That is disappointing. This result is also disappointing.”
CAHN Club lost at home unfortunately
In this match, Coach Polking gave the opportunity to start for rookie Nguyen Dinh Bac. This is also the first time this young striker has played the full 90 minutes for CAHN Club. The German-born strategist commented on his student: “Bac is a very fast, strong and skillful player. In the second half, Bac showed his ability when the field was no longer wet, had a winning situation in a 1vs1 match, actively dribbled the ball, and created opportunities. This is a good player who needs and needs more time to improve. Bac will be an important factor for CAHN Club”.
CAHN Club must try harder in the next rounds.
Finally, Coach Polking was optimistic: “The team is balanced. We have quality domestic players. The important thing is that CAHN Club must refocus to win the next match.”
