Nam Dinh Club determined to gain advantage over Japanese team in Asian tournament
Speaking at a press conference before the match with Gamba Osaka, coach Vu Hong Viet affirmed that Nam Dinh Club will try to create a surprise in the away match at the opponent's field.
Coach Vu Hong Viet shared: “This is an important match because both we and our opponents are competing for the top spot in the table with two previous wins.
I am very impressed with Gamba Osaka's midfield - they have two very good central midfielders. In addition, their domestic striker wearing the number 7 shirt is also very dangerous. Those are the names that we need to pay special attention to in this match."
Meanwhile, captain Lucas Alves added: “Teams from J.League are always very strong, and Gamba Osaka is no exception.
However, we have some experience having faced Hiroshima last season. It won’t be easy, but the whole Nam Dinh team will give their all in tomorrow’s match.”
The match between Gamba Osaka and Nam Dinh FC will take place at 5:00 p.m. on October 22 (Vietnam time).
This is considered the key match of Group F, which could be decisive in the race for the top spot and a place in the knockout round.
