Match review Shan United vs Nam Dinh, 6:30 p.m. December 4: Away trip must win

VHO - Commentary on the match Shan United vs Nam Dinh, Group B Southeast Asia Cup C1, playing away at the weakest team in the group, the reigning V.League champion is not allowed to drop points.

Spending a lot of money to bring a series of foreign players to Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh does not hide their ambition to go deep in the international arena this season, especially after being somewhat satisfied with 2 consecutive V.League championships.

However, success does not come automatically just by waving your hand. A series of poor results in the domestic arena has brought with it many unpredictable consequences.

On the familiar V.League stage, Nam Dinh has only won 2, drawn 4 and lost 4, dropping to 10th place and only 2 points above the relegation zone.

Coach Vu Hong Viet had to leave his seat, giving up the leadership position to Technical Director Nguyen Trung Kien and currently Mauro Jeronimo.

However, the plan to change the general has not been very effective so far. The team from Thanh Nam is still struggling with the relegation battle, while in the international arena, Van Vy and his teammates are also facing many difficulties.

A week ago, the 0-2 defeat in the away match against Ratchaburi almost ended the chance of the defending V.League champion to continue in the AFC Champions League 2 (Asian Cup C2).

Although often playing with a squad of almost all foreign players, the playing style and spirit of this "mercenary" squad is really bland, not meeting expectations.

With the current situation, the Southeast Asian Cup C1 has become the only salvation for Nam Dinh this season. In the opening match of Group B at the end of September, the Vietnamese representative defeated Svay Rieng (Cambodia) with a score of 2-1.

The start was not too convincing, but 3 full points still helped Nam Dinh open up the opportunity to compete for 1 of the 2 tickets to continue in this group. Traveling to Yangon to face the opponent considered the weakest, the goal of coach Jeronimo and his team must certainly be victory.

On the opening day of the group stage, Shan United also had the home field advantage. However, the defending champion Myanmar suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat against neighboring opponent Svay Rieng.

Football does not have the nature of building bridges, but looking at the balance of power on both sides of the battle line, the scenario for Nam Dinh to triumph is completely feasible.

Shan United may still be dominating the domestic scene with a recent 3-match winning streak to maintain their top spot, but when they cross the border of Myanmar, the team under coach Hiroki Ono suddenly turns from a tiger to a cat.

Not only did Shan United lose heavily at home in the opening match of Group B, but they also lost all three group stage matches of the AFC Challenge League that took place about a month ago, against opponents such as Tainan City (Chinese Taipei), Phnom Penh Crown (Cambodia) and Dewa United (Indonesia).
