Waiting for a quality striker
The National Super Cup - Thaco Cup 2024-2025 match between Nam Dinh club (reigning V.League champion) and Hanoi Police (reigning National Cup champion) will take place at Thien Truong Stadium on the evening of August 9. In addition to the goal of bringing home more trophies in the traditional tournament, both teams hope to verify their personnel and evaluate their forces before the new season starts.
Nam Dinh Club is waiting for new players on the attack line with the temporary task of replacing Nguyen Xuan Son, in the context that this key striker can only return to the field in the second phase after being treated for injury.
In the transfer window last summer, the team from Thanh Nam brought in 2 strikers and focused on Kyle Hudlin. The 25-year-old striker has been a target of Man City in the past thanks to his height advantage of the world's highest at 2m10.
Also from this impressive stature, Kyle Hudlin is the destination for Nam Dinh's cross-ball situations in training sessions and competitions before the 2025-2026 season. Most recently, in the friendly match against Suwon FC in Korea, Kyle Hudlin scored for the representative of Thanh Nam, starting from a resounding deployment.
The person who assisted Hudlin to score was Mahmoud Eid - Nam Dinh's second attack. Compared to Kyle Hudlin, the Palestine national team player is much more experienced.
In more than a decade of professional football, Eid has scored 80 goals in 282 official matches. This promises to be a " detonator" of harm that Nam Dinh exploits in the V.League, National Cup or Southeast Asian Club Championship, AFC Champions League Two...
In addition to the two new players above, coach Vu Hong Viet still believes in the pillars that he and his team won last season. In particular, Brenner deserves to be the number 1 striker of the home team Thien Truong Stadium.
" accompaniment" Leo Artur, Alan challenge Nam Dinh
Facing Nam Dinh, Hanoi Police confidently entered the National Super Cup with a pair of disadvantageous cards Leo Artur and Alan. Last season, the police representative won 3 medals in 3 arenas participating, also from the high performance of this Brazilian duo.
Last year, Leo Artur played 25 matches in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and 4 assists. His partner - Alan Grafite won the V.League 2024-2025 Top Scorer title with 14 goals. Expanding in the 3 tournaments he participated in with Hanoi Police, after 26 appearances, this player has 21 appearances on the scoreboard with 1 pass. In total, Leo Artur and Alan brought home 37 goals for the Police team. No striker pair in the V.League was more effective than this duo last season.
Along with Alan and Leo Artur, Hanoi Police also developed a variety of attack options. Dinh Bac's stable performance in the U23 Vietnam jersey brings peace of mind to coach Mano Polking. The player born in 2004 can create surprises through sudden headers and skillful dribbling skills on the left wing of Hanoi Police.
Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police are 2 of the 3 teams that scored the most goals in V.League last season. Looking forward to the 2025-2026 season, the two teams will continue to increase their strength with the appearance of many good attacking players. Therefore, the upcoming National Super Cup match promises to witness many goals from the high-level "firewalls" of both sides.
