Ahead of the match against Gamba Osaka in the third round of Group F of the AFC Champions League Two 2025-2026, coach Vu Hong Viet affirmed that Nam Dinh club will compete with the highest spirit to aim for a surprising result in Japan.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, coach Vu Hong Viet said: "This is an important match because both we and the opponent are competing for the top spot in the group with 2 previous wins.
I am very impressed with Gamba Osaka's midfield - they have 2 extremely high-quality central midfielders. In addition, the domestic striker wearing their number 7 shirt is also very dangerous. Those are the names that we need to pay special attention to in this match".
Captain Lucas Alves also expressed the determination of the whole team when sharing: The teams from the J.League are always very strong, and Gamba Osaka is no exception.
However, we have some experience when facing Hiroshima in the previous season. It will not be easy, but the entire Nam Dinh team will play their best in tomorrow's match".
After two consecutive victories against Ratchaburi (3-1) and Eastern FC (1-0), Nam Dinh FC is on the same 6 points as Gamba Osaka but is temporarily behind due to a lack of goals.
The match between the two teams, taking place at 5:00 p.m. on October 22 (Vietnam time), is considered a key confrontation for the top spot in Group F and a ticket to the knockout round.
With stable performance and determination, the Vietnamese representative is expected to continue to make her mark in the continental arena.
