Every title is precious
The National Super Cup is a match between the two defending champions of V.League and the National Cup. Teams always need many titles in their traditional room. There are public opinions that the Super Cup match is not very important. But in reality, every club, especially big clubs, puts all their efforts into such a special match.
The nature of a National Super Cup match is that the winning team will win the cup right on the field, instead of a long season with many matches. Therefore, the whole 90 minutes are always pushed to the climax. For some mid-level teams such as Thanh Hoa, Song Lam Nghe An or Hai Phong, the National Super Cup offers the perfect opportunity to touch a trophy. No wonder, Dong A Thanh Hoa once offered a reward of up to 2 billion VND for just one Super Cup match and they did it. For the Thanh team, the chance to participate in the Super Cup is only once.
On the contrary, strong teams such as Hanoi FC, Hanoi Police, The Cong Viettel or Nam Dinh need cups so that fans can... count the cups. Controversy on social media about who has more trophies than who has brought many positives. The heat of many matches was therefore pushed up.
Title of honor
At the 2023 National Super Cup, Thanh Hoa surprisingly defeated Hanoi Police with a score of 3-1 and this is as an affirmation that the previous National Cup was not lucky. But it was also the Thanh team that lost 0-3 to Nam Dinh in the National Super Cup a year later. For that reason, the team from Thanh Nam seemed to "pay off the debt" after losing in the semi-finals of the 2023-2024 National Cup.
Its true, a final of the final game always brings a lot of special emotions. We have won, lost in the Super Cup and we understand that feeling. This trophy is an honor and pride because it is a match of champions", Mr. Cao Hoang Duc - CEO of Thanh Hoa club shared.
Similarly, this year, Hanoi Police and Nam Dinh both want to win every tournament they participate in. These two teams have very strong squads, with many investments worth hundreds of billions of VND. The National Super Cup title is a place to affirm that a team can both compete for a long distance and defeat strong opponents in a direct match.
Hanoi Police or Nam Dinh need more titles to build their traditional values with the symbolic values of Vietnamese football in each period.
Before that, Binh Duong and Song Lam Nghe An had won the Super Cup 4 times. Meanwhile, the team that won the most in the Super Cup was Hanoi FC with 5 times. Hanoi and Song Lam Nghe An have both won the Super Cup 3 times in a row.
At this time, Nam Dinh is aiming for the second consecutive championship to serve as a premise for the third, even the fourth consecutive time. The team from Thanh Nam will be recognized for records. Meanwhile, since being "reborn", Hanoi Police have only lacked the Super Cup to complete the domestic title collection. Coach Pollking and his team need titles to prepare for a difficult season in domestic, regional and continental competitions.
Everyone waited to see who won, who scored and what would happen on the pitch in the unpredictable 90 minutes.
