Ninh Binh Club unexpectedly flies high in V-League

THE QUALITIES OF A CHAMPION

After the first 4 rounds of V-League, Ninh Binh Club has won 12 points, is the team with the strongest attack (scored 12 goals) and the most solid defense (conceded 2 goals, equal to Viettel The Cong Club). Ninh Binh Club has defeated teams of 3 different types: relegation group (Da Nang Club), mid-range group (Ha Tinh and Thanh Hoa Club) and championship group ( Nam Dinh Club). With each different opponent, Ninh Binh Club makes different tactical and personnel adjustments to achieve the best results.

To be able to do this, Ninh Binh Club owns a team of equal quality, with stars in all 3 lines such as goalkeeper Van Lam, center-back Patrick Marcelino, midfielder Duc Chien, Hoang Duc, striker Gustavo Henrique... More importantly, these players are all in impressive form. Van Lam still maintains his solidity in the goal, Patrick is like a "rock", Duc Chien - Hoang Duc are still in harmony, explosive like when they were together at The Cong Viettel Club. On the attack line, Gustavo has 4 goals, ranking 2nd in the list of top scorers.

The competitive spirit is also a plus point of Ninh Binh Club. In the match against Ha Tinh Club, they were behind and then equalized, held until almost the end of the match. However, 2 goals by Quang Nho and Gia Hung in the 89th and 90+3 minutes helped them win. When facing Da Nang Club, they continued to have an impressive comeback. That shows that Ninh Binh Club did not lose their composure, did not rush when they were behind, but still deployed a coherent playing style, maintained great pressure to get worthy results.

With a deep, balanced squad in attack and defense, stars taking turns shining and having a solid battle record, Ninh Binh Club is gathering many qualities of a champion.

Ninh Binh and the worthy results

Since competing in the first division last season, Ninh Binh Club has been carefully prepared for the journey to compete in the V-League. The "blockbuster" contracts with Van Lam, Hoang Duc, Thanh Thinh, Ngoc Long... have clearly shown that. When holding the promotion ticket in hand, Ninh Binh Club has made early steps in the transfer market. Therefore, they quickly owned a series of stars sought after by many clubs such as Duc Chien (from The Cong Viettel Club), Quang Nho, Bao Toan, Chau Ngoc Quang (from HAGL).

Ninh Binh FC's foreign player acquisition strategy is also very clever. They recruited both old and new players. Three Brazilian players, Janclesio, Gustavo, and Geovane, who have a lot of experience playing in the V-League and understand Vietnamese football, will play the role of a bridge to help their compatriots Marcelino and Daniel integrate faster into the new environment. It is clear that Ninh Binh FC's foreign players have all caught up quickly and played well in the V-League this season.

Ninh Binh Club also considered carefully before signing a contract with Coach Gerard Albadalejo. Both sides had many negotiations and long discussions to find a common voice before making the final decision. Up to this point, Coach Albadalejo has shown that the Club's choice was correct.

What Ninh Binh FC has shown shows that they are not a rookie coming to V-League just to stay in the league. With a balanced squad, quality depth and brave fighting spirit, "The Mountain Goat" is showing that they have enough ability to compete fairly with the big forces. They not only bring victories, but also bring a new wind, a fierce competition, contributing to improving the professional quality of the tournament. Although it is too early to talk about conquering the title, but with careful preparation and great ambition, Ninh Binh FC is gradually affirming its position as a true championship candidate.
