Nam Dinh won the National Super Cup with a resounding 3-0 victory over Thanh Hoa. This is a very difficult team to play against, because Thanh Hoa has won the National Cup twice in a row in the 2023 and 2023-2024 seasons.
Nam Dinh won the National Super Cup with a 3-0 victory over Thanh Hoa
Thanh Hoa is a cup specialist. But cup specialist Thanh Hoa was defeated by Nam Dinh 3-0, plus a red card for Thanh Hoa's center-back Gustavo at the end of the match. That shows that Nam Dinh has prepared very carefully for the Super Cup match, also to confirm that they have not lost their desire to stay at the top of Vietnamese football.
First, the team from Thanh Nam retained the most important foreign players including striker Rafaelson and midfielder Hendrio. Next, they retained midfielder Tuan Anh, despite rumors that the star of the Vietnamese national team could return to play for his old team HAGL. Retaining Tuan Anh reflects that Nam Dinh has never wanted to stop on the journey to find glory in domestic football.
The team led by coach Vu Hong Viet still wants to have the best squad possible, thereby continuing the race to defend the V-League championship title this season. In addition to Tuan Anh, Rafaelson, Hendrio, Nam Dinh also retains most of the stars who helped them win the V-League championship last season, such as Ho Khac Ngoc, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Duong Thanh Hao, goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh... with the addition of foreign striker Joseph Mpande (former striker of Hai Phong team).
Rafaelson's application for Vietnamese citizenship is being reviewed.
Nam Dinh has quality foreign players.
Joseph Mpande is preparing for Rafaelson to be naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen in the near future. If naturalized successfully, Rafaelson will play in the V-League as a domestic player. At that time, the foreign player position in the Nam Dinh team's forward line will be reserved for Joseph Mpande.
This year, in addition to competing for achievements in domestic tournaments with a group of ambitious teams including Hanoi Police, Viettel The Cong, Hanoi FC, Binh Duong, Nam Dinh Club also competes in the AFC Champions League 2 (formerly known as AFC Cup, or Asian Cup C2). Coach Vu Hong Viet's team needs a strong enough force to compete on many fronts as above. Initially, they showed that they are ready for conquests. These are all signs that Nam Dinh does not want to stop after reaching the pinnacle of Vietnamese football glory last season.
