With Nam Dinh Green Steel, pressure brings motivation to win

At the press conference before the 2024/25 National Football Super Cup - THACO Cup on the afternoon of August 8, Coach Vu Hong Viet said that, in order to prepare for the 2024/25 National Football Super Cup - THACO Cup as well as the new season, Nam Dinh Blue Steel had a long training trip in Phu Yen and Korea, and had 3 quality friendly matches in the land of kimchi.

"My players have performed very well in terms of physical strength, tactics and spirit. It can be said that the whole team is very ready for what is coming," said the 46-year-old strategist. He also shared that last summer, Nam Dinh Steel Blue brought in players with expertise suitable for the playing style that the team is building.

"They are A Mit (from Thanh Hoa), Dang Van Toi ( Hai Phong ) and three foreign players Njabulo Blom, Kyle Hudlin, Mahmoud Eid. However, I cannot reveal which of them will appear in tomorrow's Super Cup match," coach Vu Hong Viet laughed.

When asked whether the ambition to conquer all four tournaments will put pressure on Nam Dinh Green Steel, he said: "Each tournament or match we participate in has its own characteristics and pressure. But that pressure gives us motivation, and if we overcome the pressure, success will surely shine. With Nam Dinh Green Steel, everyone shows 100% concentration and determination before the matches, thereby achieving the set goals."

Present at the press conference, captain goalkeeper Nguyen Manh shared: "CAHN is a strong opponent and has many quality additions. The 0-3 defeat at Thien Truong in the first leg of last season was an opportunity for Nam Dinh Blue Steel to review, learn from experience and overcome shortcomings. After that defeat, the players all listened to the coaching staff and were more determined, then showed a strong recovery with the next series of impressive matches, finally ending with the championship."

Therefore, the captain of Nam Dinh Green Steel believes that he and his teammates are confident to enter the 2024/25 National Football Super Cup - THACO Cup and successfully defend the title, then conquer the remaining 4 arenas that the club will participate in.
