Thanh Hoa Club will start the year of the Snake 2025 with an important match against PSM Makassar (Indonesia). The Vietnamese team must win to advance to the group stage of the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Club Championship.
"PSM Makassar is a team with good quality, many good players, especially the Brazilian striker and the young player with Canadian-Indonesian blood. Overall, they have good players. However, we are not afraid of anything. We will try to play well," coach Velizar Popov said in a press conference before the match.
Thanh Hoa FC ranked fourth in Group A after four matches and is at the most disadvantageous position among the four teams competing for a place in the next round. The representative of Vietnamese football has not lost any match, but the fact that they have drawn too many matches (three matches) has made it difficult for coach Popov and his team.

"In the past 4 matches, Thanh Hoa team played well but drew too many matches. Tomorrow, maybe we will be lucky and score more goals to get a good result. Surely our team always tries to play well to get a positive result," said the Bulgarian coach.
Thanh Hoa FC went through the first 4 matches with many difficulties. The Thanh team had to play 3 matches against strong opponents on away field, in the situation of losing force due to injuries. In the decisive match, the representative of V.League just went through a journey lasting more than half a day to reach the competition venue.
"In this match, both teams need to win to advance to the next round. Yesterday, the whole team traveled here very tiredly but this did not affect much. The whole team had good preparation.
Thanh Hoa Club has only one goal: to win to enter the semi-finals. We come here not only to play for Thanh Hoa Club but also to represent Vietnamese football. Therefore, we will play with all our might," midfielder Nguyen Thai Son affirmed his determination.
The match between PSM Makassar and Thanh Hoa Club takes place at 7pm tomorrow, February 5.
