Compete for titles for the future

Captain Bui Tien Dung leads Viettel team onto the field at V-League 2023

Both Viettel and Thanh Hoa clubs entered the 2023 National Cup final with many things in common. Before this season started, they were not the top candidates for the V-League championship because their squads were not as good as the Hanoi Police team (CAHN) or Hanoi Club.

However, Viettel and Thanh Hoa clubs both had periods of sublime play, competing equally with CAHN and Hanoi. In the early stages of the season, Thanh Hoa club had 10 unbeaten matches, demonstrating an energetic playing style and was considered a phenomenon of the season.

As for Viettel Club, they went through a relatively difficult period at the beginning of the season due to the absence of foreign strikers. However, when the playing style became smooth, coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team also flourished, owning a streak of 9 unbeaten matches.

Young talents like Khuat Van Khang are the future of Viettel Club.

Unfortunately, in the decisive stage, Viettel and Thanh Hoa Clubs lost their championship dreams when they lost to their direct competitors. The North Central team continuously lost to Viettel and Hanoi Clubs. Meanwhile, Viettel Club collapsed to CAHN.

Having run out of chances in V-League 2024, Viettel and Thanh Hoa clubs need to win the National Cup to avoid a season without a trophy. However, in the long run, this title will have more meaning for the two teams.

Both coaches Thach Bao Khanh and Velizar Popov are in their first season leading the club. They have done a very good job, helping the players perform quite convincingly. However, both teams still have many points to improve.

Newcomer Lam Ti Phong integrates well into Thanh Hoa Club

The 2023 National Cup championship can be a mental boost for Viettel Club as well as Thanh Hoa. The leadership of the two teams will look at this achievement to continue to invest more heavily in human resources.

Because, compared to CAHN or Hanoi Club, the quality of Viettel and Thanh Hoa teams is still lower. According to Transfermarkt , the squad value of Hanoi, CAHN, Viettel and Thanh Hoa clubs is 4.48 million euros, 4.27 million euros, 3.9 million euros and 2.5 million euros respectively.

In the past, both Viettel and Thanh Hoa teams had regrettably finished second in the National Cup. Now, they have the opportunity to break that regret and, more importantly, they have more support to fly higher in the future.
