Nam Dinh Club has won the V.League 2024-2025 championship one round early. There have been doubts when Nguyen Xuan Son was injured and absent for most of the season.
The team from Thanh Nam may not have played well in a few specific matches, but they are the "copy" of a long journey with impressive statistics.
Let's start from the attack, for a long time after the 2024 ASEAN Cup, Xuan Son has been Nam Dinh's top striker even though he has not played for a long time. The role of the striker born in 1997 is difficult to replace.
But then, when Xuan Son was not on the field, coach Vu Hong Viet was forced to think more. Amidst his doubts, Mr. Viet knew how to turn Nam Dinh into a more unpredictable team. They score from many different positions, especially from midfielders.
Things became even more favorable when Nam Dinh signed contracts with two foreign players Romulo and Brenner. Midfielder Romulo makes the midfield of the home team at Thien Truong strong, technical and ready to stifle the opponent. Once they can focus on attacking, they will be even more dangerous.
At the end of the season, Brenner gradually integrated and proved that he was a top scorer. A series of assists and goals from the Brazilian player helped Nam Dinh reach the finish line safely. The defending champion this season scored 50 goals and 7 goals more than the team behind, Hanoi Police.
But more surprisingly, a defense that is not too classy like Nam Dinh conceded at least 1 goal in V.League until round 26. They have only lost 18 goals, 1 goal less than Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
Thanh Hao and Lucas brought a lot of confidence to goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh. At the same time, it is undeniable that the decisive role of the goalkeeper born in 1991. Nguyen Manh is still very excellent and an irreplaceable figure at Thien Truong Stadium.
Scoring the most goals, conceding the fewest goals and knowing how to optimize each number, Nam Dinh club won the championship in an impressive and convincing way, much more convincing than themselves in their first first win of the first-legged title.
