November 11.11 evening, Club Nam Dinh won 3-0 against Ho Chi Minh City Club at Thong Nhat Stadium in the latest match of round 7 of V-League 2024 - 2025. Nguyen Tuan Anh was not in the starting lineup and entered the field from the 63rd minute to replace Tran Van Cong. He played well, helping the away team control the game.
In the post-match press conference, coach Vu Hong Viet also shared about Tuan Anh's situation: "He has just returned from injury so his physical condition is not yet at its best to be able to play much. I want to put Tuan Anh in later, when his teammates have exhausted the opponent. At this time, he plays more effectively. When he is on the field, Tuan Anh does his job very well."
Since the beginning of the season, Tuan Anh has only started 2 matches for Nam Dinh Club. In the remaining 6 matches, he came on from the bench. After 8 appearances, he has scored XNUMX goal in AFC Champions League Two.
Tuan Anh is still playing regularly and is likely to be called up to the Vietnam national team to prepare for the AFF Cup 2024.
Previously, every time Nam Dinh won a match, coach Vu Hong Viet often used the phrase "I am very happy". But after the match on the evening of November 11.11, he only shared the reason for defeating Ho Chi Minh City Club: "We analyzed the opponent and knew their strengths and weaknesses. We exploited their two flanks well. I highly appreciate the two players of Ho Chi Minh City Club, Bui Ngoc Long and Hoang Vinh Nguyen. In this match, Nguyen did not play, so their strength was significantly reduced. In addition, they also lacked central defender Tran Hoang Phuc, who developed the ball very well from the home field, so their play was also affected".
The captain of Nam Dinh Club also revealed the situation of Nguyen Xuan Son, Van Toan and Hendrio Araujo, 3 key players who were absent in this match: “Son may or may not return. His ankle injury is a bit complicated. Van Toan has returned to training, hopefully he can play in the next match. Hendrio has no problem and he is resting because we are calculating the tactics.”
Pressure is surrounding Coach Phung Thanh Phuong and Ho Chi Minh City Club.
On the other side of the front line, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong said that pressure is surrounding Ho Chi Minh City Club. They have gone 6 consecutive matches without scoring.
Coach Thanh Phuong said: “The players were impatient after conceding the goal. We also had a chance to equalize but failed to take advantage. In recent matches, the whole team has gradually improved their attack but has not finished effectively. We need to try to improve. And this loss is the fault of the coaching staff. I take responsibility. At this time, I am under a lot of pressure. I think all the upcoming matches will be very stressful.”
