Binh Duong Club replaces foreign players
Recently, Binh Duong Club announced that it has just reached an agreement with Ivorian striker Cheick Timite. The team commented: "Cheick Timite is a versatile striker. With his speed, technique and impressive scoring ability, the Ivorian striker promises to bring a new breeze to Binh Duong Club's attack in the second leg of V-League 2024 - 2025".
Cheick Timite is not a strange name to Vietnamese football fans, as he used to play in the V-League before, for Ho Chi Minh City Club. The striker born in 1997 joined the "red battleship" in September 2023. In 1 season wearing the Thong Nhat Stadium shirt, Timite played 22 times and contributed 8 goals in the V-League (according to Transfermarkt statistics). The 28-year-old striker left Ho Chi Minh City Club at the end of the 2023 - 2024 season and then there was no information about which team he joined, before joining Binh Duong Club.

The team recruited Cheick Timite to replace striker Charly Malep Dipita. Accordingly, Charly Malep Dipita has only played 2 matches but has been disappointing, causing the coaching staff of Binh Duong Club to urgently look for another option.
Binh Duong Club determined to break through
By urgently replacing foreign players, Binh Duong Club is showing its determination to make a breakthrough in the second leg of V-League 2024 - 2025. The team from Thu Dau Mot is currently ranked 6th on the rankings with 18 points, 7 points behind the top team The Cong Viettel. If Tien Linh and his teammates play well in the coming time, Binh Duong Club still has a chance to compete in the top group.
Tien Linh is currently leading the race for the top scorer of V-League 2024 - 2025. Cheick Timite is expected to "share the fire" with the striker of the Vietnamese team.
Nguyen Tien Linh is currently leading the list of top scorers in the V-League 2024 - 2025 with 9 goals. The striker born in 1997 is having a very impressive performance, but that is not enough to help the team of Thu Dau Mot have good results. Therefore, the appearance of Cheick Timite is expected to "share the fire" with Tien Linh in the attack. Because before that, the Ivory Coast striker had more or less experience playing in the V-League.
It can be said that in 1 season playing for Ho Chi Minh City Club, Cheick Timite played not badly. The speed and technique of this 28-year-old striker are quite good. With the stature of a foreign player, Cheick Timite can disrupt the opponent's defense, while reducing the pressure on Tien Linh. The striker of the Vietnamese team also has more space to make runs and score goals. When Tien Linh is "shared with the fire", he may play even better than in the first leg.

Before entering the FIFA Days break in March, Binh Duong FC still has 3 more matches. The team from Thu Dau Mot will face SLNA FC (round 14, February 22), Binh Dinh FC (round 15, March 1) and The Cong Viettel FC (round 16).
