Nam Dinh Club is going through a difficult period despite a change in the coaching bench. Many key players have injuries, the performance of foreign and domestic players has declined, causing the team from Thanh Nam to fall into crisis.
After the defeat to Gamba Osaka in the first leg of the AFC Champions League Two, Nam Dinh only had 2 more draws against Da Nang and Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the V.League, both of which were behind. A series of 6 matches without a win caused Nguyen Manh and his teammates to fall behind in the championship race.
Nam Dinh had difficulty in both attack and defense. Although there are many foreign players, the results have not yet met expectations. Brenner, Romulo and Hudlin are still playing poorly, while their defense lacks solidity, causing the team to continuously lose points in key matches.
Ahead of the match against Gamba Osaka, Nam Dinh need at least one point to maintain the advantage in the competition with Ratchaburi for second place in Group F. If they lose, they risk being leveled and facing great pressure in the return match away.
Before the match, center back Lucas Alves affirmed his determination: "The goal of the whole team is always to win. When competing internationally, playing at home is an advantage, we will try to convert it into good results.
We understand that the whole team is going through a difficult time. The more we are in this situation, the more we strive and are determined to overcome difficulties together. The first leg away from home did not have a satisfactory result. But then we learned from experience. We believe we will have a better performance".
The match between Nam Dinh and Gamba Osaka will take place at 7:15 p.m. today (November 5) and will be broadcast live on K+.
