With 4 goals conceded in the defeat in round 20 of V.League 2023/24 against Hai Phong club, Nam Dinh is now one of the 2 teams that conceded the most goals in the tournament. The team at the top of the rankings, the championship candidate, received a total of 32 goals conceded, only less than the bottom team Khanh Hoa.
"Nam Dinh has a strong attack, but a weak defense. Nam Dinh's defense is only slightly better than Khanh Hoa's. Nam Dinh's defense isn't good, so I observed their play to adjust, and the most important thing was that the second goal came very early. If Rafaelson had equalized 1-1, Hai Phong might not have won. However, we took advantage of the opportunities well," commented Hai Phong coach Chu Dinh Nghiem on the match that took place on the evening of May 22nd at Thien Truong Stadium.

Hai Phong FC defeated Nam Dinh 4-2 at Thien Truong Stadium on the evening of May 22. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's players led 3-0 in the first half. Lucao completed his hat-trick in the second half with a penalty kick. Rafaelson scored two goals for Nam Dinh afterwards, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
The head coach of Hai Phong FC added: "This was a high-scoring match with many opportunities. The luckier team won. I am satisfied with the professional quality and the atmosphere of the crowd today. We took advantage of our chances better. In the first half, we scored 3 goals from 4 chances. In the second half, they played long balls, and we played defensive counter-attacking football."
Despite a big win over Nam Dinh FC, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem still highly values his opponents. He believes that the team from the South still has a big advantage in the championship race.
"Nam Dinh team's form isn't great right now. However, Nam Dinh will still win the championship," coach Chu Dinh Nghiem commented.
Also in the post-match press conference, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem answered questions about strengthening the squad with stars. Currently, the two leading players of Vietnamese football, Nguyen Hoang Duc and Nguyen Quang Hai, are both about to expire their contracts.
"Every team wants to have star players. To achieve success, you need to build a team that aims for higher goals, but it also depends on the financial situation and structure. Certainly, having Quang Hai or Hoang Duc would be very good. The important thing is whether Hai Phong Club's financial resources can meet the requirements," Mr. Nghiem said.
