Coach Popov: We usually get good results when playing away
I think the upcoming National Super Cup is a quality match, because of its final-like nature. I really like it. The feeling of playing in a final is completely different from other matches.
Thanh Hoa will have difficulty playing away, plus the home crowd factor. Throughout the season, Nam Dinh's audience always filled the stadium and was a great source of encouragement. That affects my team, but we will try our best.
I think the Super Cup would be better if it was held at a neutral venue, but I respect the organizers. As for Thanh Hoa, we often get good results when playing away.
Nam Dinh Club is the champion of V.League, the team is well organized and operated, the coaching staff is also good. Nam Dinh has many good players, managing stars is never easy.
Coach Vu Hong Viet: Nam Dinh aims to win the Super Cup at home
Currently, the preparation for the Super Cup is complete, we are determined for tomorrow's match. After this match, some of Nam Dinh's players will join the Vietnam national team, but they are professional players, when they are on the field, they play with all their heart and will not be held back.
Nam Dinh playing at home is an advantage, with enthusiastic support from the audience, giving the players more strength to compete and contribute.
Before the Super Cup, we brought in four foreign players to prepare for the tournaments. Overall, the players have integrated well and are ready for the new season.
Before, when I came to Nam Dinh, the team was facing difficulties, finishing the first half at the bottom of the rankings. The team’s morale was also down. I was lucky to have the support of the whole team, played with determination and stayed in the league.
After that, the team was accompanied by sponsors, investors and set a goal of achieving results. With new contracts and careful preparation, we achieved certain results in the 2023 season. In the 2023-2024 season, Nam Dinh's goal is to win the championship. We brought in quality players, went through useful training sessions and friendlies. And we achieved that goal.
Football always has pressure, the pressure of staying in the league and winning the championship. We aim to win the Super Cup at home.
