AFF Cup 2024 heroes return

After nearly 2 months of temporary hiatus for the AFF Cup 2024, Nam Dinh Club will return to the domestic tournament with a key match against heavyweight rival Binh Duong Club at Thien Truong Stadium at 6:00 p.m. today (January 9). The early match of the 1/8 round of the 2024-2025 National Cup will promise to be extremely attractive and thrilling, as the echoes of the emotional championship at the AFF Cup 2024 are still strong. There is a bit of regret when Xuan Son and Tan Tai (Van Toan is waiting to watch) are absent, but the large number of stars from the national teams of these two teams will return at the same time. The home team will have Nguyen Manh, Tuan Anh, Van Vi, Hong Duy, Thanh Hao, Van Vu... joining quality foreign players such as Hendrio, Lucas, Caio... to create a quality squad.

The home team is full of enthusiasm when ranking second in the V-League and is "warming up" in the AFC Champions League 2 arena. A victory, even convincing is the mandatory target that Mr. Thuy has set for the team. Xuan Son's absence will certainly be the most talked about thing. But with the large force in hand, especially the abundant foreign players, coach Vu Hong Viet will have to see this as an opportunity to prove that Nam Dinh Club is not too dependent on any one individual. In fact, there was a period of 3-4 matches where the team from Thanh Nam played without Xuan Son (who was slightly injured at that time) but the results were still very good, showing the strength and depth of this team.

For his part, the match at Thien Truong Stadium will be the debut of Coach Xuan Manh, who has the highest AFC Pro certificate, in the Binh Duong shirt. Coach Xuan Manh will have his debut with the participation of Tien Linh, Vi Hao who have just returned from the Vietnam team, along with Ngoc Hai, Minh Khoa, Tung Quoc, Hai Huy, Viet Cuong, Janclesio. Fans are waiting to see if the former SLNA midfielder can help the team win, following the habit of "changing generals to change fortunes" in Vietnamese football. One thing is for sure, every Binh Duong player entering the field will have great motivation, as the season has entered an important stage, not allowing mistakes to appear. In particular, Que Ngoc Hai and Minh Khoa really want to have a good performance to score points in the eyes of Coach Kim Sang-sik in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers taking place next March.

Quang Hai and CAHN Club firmly build the top position

At 6pm today (January 9), Quang Hai and the stars of the Vietnamese national team at the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) such as Viet Anh, Thanh Long, Van Duc... will return to Rizal Memorial Stadium in the Southeast Asian Club Cup to meet Kaya FC-Iloilo (Philippines). The goal of coach Mano Polking and his team is to take all 3 points to secure the top spot in Group B in a fierce competition with their opponent Kuala Lumpur City FC (both with 6 points after 2 matches).
