Pre-match information
According to the match schedule, Nam Dinh Steel Club will play away against Lee Man (Hong Kong, China) at Mong Kok Stadium. This is the opening match of Group G at AFC Champions League Two 2024-2025 (Asian Cup C2).
The team from Thanh Nam has prepared carefully for this opening match. They also had 2 away training sessions to get used to the field and weather conditions here.
The good news for Nam Dinh is that the squad is secure, with no players injured. In addition, striker Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson) will definitely play in the upcoming match. He is considered an important explosive force for the reigning V.League champions.
Nam Dinh's disadvantage is that they have a very tight match schedule. Coach Vu Hong Viet and his team have to travel to Hong Kong (China) right after the end of the match in round 1 of V.League 2024-2025. This more or less affects the players' physical strength.
Before the match, coach Vu Hong Viet shared: "Nam Dinh Club has prepared carefully. Our goal is to win the match. In this match, Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson) will definitely participate in the competition."
On the other side, Lee Man Club is one of the best teams in Hong Kong (China) at the moment. According to research, their squad has many good foreign players, which will certainly put great pressure on the opponent's defense.
Lee Man FC assistant coach Stezo Man Chun said that his team analyzed Nam Dinh from many different aspects. The Vietnamese representative's lineup did not change much, but there were fluctuations in foreign players in all three lines.
"Rafaelson is a tall player and is very good in aerial situations. In addition, Van Toan and Hendrio are both very good quality, promising to be a big threat to us," the assistant emphasized.
