Nam Dinh is rated much higher than Ha Tinh in the match in round 1 of V-League 2023/2024. However, on the day Rafaelson was absent because he had not completed the procedures to compete as a domestic player, coach Vu Hong Viet's team did not play well.
Nam Dinh let Ha Tinh score first, then tried very hard to find an equalizer, but failed. Sharing with the media after the match, coach Vu Hong Viet said: "The players played their best, played very well and created many opportunities, unfortunately they did not score."
Rafaelson was the “Top scorer” in the last 2 seasons. In the 2023/2024 season, this striker scored 31 goals, contributing greatly to helping Nam Dinh win the championship. Coach Vu Hong Viet admitted: “Without Rafaelson, the team's attack power is significantly reduced. If Rafaelson is there, the opportunities can be converted into goals. Without him, it is a big loss.”
On the other side of the front line, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong said: “This is the first victory our team has achieved in the opening match. I highly appreciate the players’ spirit in this match and their seriousness in training before the new season begins.”
