The return date of Coach Le Huynh Duc and Tien Linh
Round 4 of V-League 2025-2026 witnessed a special match of Vietnamese football at the present time. For the first time this season, two teams with the same name Ho Chi Minh City faced each other at the highest level, and fans got to watch a new version of the "derby": Ho Chi Minh City Police team vs. Becamex Ho Chi Minh City Club. What made the match more exciting was the reunion of Coach Le Huynh Duc and Nguyen Tien Linh with their old team Binh Duong (now called Becamex Ho Chi Minh City).
For Coach Huynh Duc and Tien Linh, this encounter brings back many memories. Coach Huynh Duc was once associated with Binh Duong Club during the V-League 2023 period, clearly understanding the culture and operation of the team in Thu Dau Mot.

As for Nguyen Tien Linh, the return day was even more emotional. He was the team's attacking symbol for many years. Tien Linh's goals and explosive moments have left a deep mark in the memories of the fans of the Thu Dau Mot team. But now, in the HCM City Police Club shirt, he is forced to become an opponent, with the task of scoring against the team that once brought the name of the striker born in 1997 to the top. This is the first time Tien Linh has returned to Binh Duong Stadium, since saying goodbye to the Thu Dau Mot team before the 2025-2026 season started.
Ho Chi Minh City's new "Derby" and the battle of honor
The match had a greater significance than a reunion. It marked the formation of a new "derby" of Ho Chi Minh City football. On one side was the Ho Chi Minh City Police team, the predecessor of Ho Chi Minh City Club, with the ambition to build a long-term position. On the other side was Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, gathering the legacy of Binh Duong Club with new resources, determined to affirm its name in the most vibrant urban area in Vietnam.
Both teams are hungry for victory, not only for 3 points, but also for honor. Who will be the "real giant" of Ho Chi Minh City football in the new era? When the referee blows the whistle to start the match, all external factors will be put aside. Only the spirit, desire and tactics of the two teams will decide the final result.
