Before the 'group final' match, the striker of Bac Ninh University of Sports was most afraid of this player of Thuy Loi University.

Both teams, Thuy Loi University and Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports, opened with resounding victories with scores of 7-0 and 8-0 respectively against the same opponent, Phuong Dong University. This is not a surprising result, showing the predicted strength of both teams, and therefore the "group final" match on the afternoon of March 1 will be even more exciting and unpredictable.

The striker from Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports is cautious ahead of the 'group final'.

Striker wearing shirt number 23 of Bac Ninh University of Sports - Nguyen Cong Dinh, stands out on the field with his height of nearly 1.8 m and muscular body. That is why he is also nicknamed "Buffalo Dinh". In the first match of TNSV THACO Cup 2024, Cong Dinh also had important passes and assists contributing to the resounding 8-0 victory of the team from Bac Ninh.

This is the first time Bac Ninh University of Sports and Physical Education has participated in the tournament and for Cong Dinh, this year is the 23-year-old student's final year of study, so he really appreciates the opportunity to play in this national football tournament.

Cong Dinh (white shirt) is very tall and big.

"From the night before the opening match, I was very nervous and couldn't sleep. I'm excited to compete and experience a big tournament like this. In the match against Phuong Dong University, our team played well and showed unity, but I think some players weren't very confident and need to improve a lot in the next match," Cong Dinh shared.

The draw has placed the Water Resources University (the host of the northern region) and the Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports in the same group. On the afternoon of March 1st, the two teams will meet in the final match to decide which team will secure a direct spot in the play-offs. The losing team will wait for the results of the other two groups to see if they are the best-performing second-placed team.

Cong Dinh is currently playing as a forward for the Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports team.

Talking about the current runner-up of the tournament, Thuy Loi University, striker Cong Dinh of Bac Ninh University of Sports commented that this is a strong, even team and certainly not an easy opponent to overcome.

"I rate the Thuy Loi team very highly because last year they finished second in this tournament. The quality of their players is very good, especially Hoang Danh," Cong Dinh commented.

When Công Định praised Hoàng Danh so highly, he must have followed last year's tournament very closely – where Hoàng Danh scored many important goals and played a core role in shaping the tactics of the Thủy Lợi team, and this midfielder was also included in the best team of the entire first Vietnam Youth and Student Football Tournament.

Although not particularly tall, Hoang Danh is skillful and possesses good tactical awareness.

As for Thuy Loi University, they are at a slight disadvantage compared to their opponents when their goal difference is 1 point lower than Bac Ninh University of Sports and Physical Education (+7 compared to +8). In the upcoming match, they must win to be sure of getting a ticket to the play-off while the away team Bac Ninh only needs a draw.

Despite having home field advantage, the pressure on the current runner-up of the Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament is huge as the opponents have had the opportunity to study the team's playing style, formation, tactics, etc. from last season. Meanwhile, Bac Ninh University of Sports and Physical Education is a completely new factor this year. The "group final" match will therefore be even more worth watching.

At 2 PM on March 1st, 2024, the match between the Water Resources University and the Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports will take place at the Water Resources University stadium. The match will be broadcast live on Thanhnien.vn and on Thanh Nien Newspaper's YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok channels.
