Ninh Binh FC Club had a friendly match with Hanoi FC (2.8) in preparation for the upcoming V.League 2025-2026. Overseas Vietnamese midfielder Chung Nguyen Do was given the opportunity to play in the starting lineup by coach Gerard.
However, the weather in Hanoi in recent days has been hot and sunny in the afternoon, so the player born in 2005 has had difficulty maintaining her physical strength. He had to leave the field in the first half.
After the match, Chung Nguyen Do admitted: "The weather in Vietnam is much hotter than in Bulgaria. I need more time to get used to it."
Returning to the friendly match, Ninh Binh FC lost to Hanoi FC with a score of 0-2. The two goals for the home team were scored by striker Van Quyet and midfielder Dinh Hai. This is considered an important "fire test" for both teams before the V.League 2025-2026, especially for the Ancient Capital team - a rookie of the tournament.
Among them, Chung Nguyen Do is one of the expected faces at Ninh Binh FC. Born and raised in Europe, he spent time training in professional football in Bulgaria before deciding to return to Vietnam to play. The player born in 2005 promises to add youth to Ninh Binh's midfield.
Despite recruiting many notable faces in recent times, Ninh Binh FC still has a lot of work to do to adapt to the top-notch football environment in the V.League.
