On the afternoon of September 16, the press conference before the match between Nam Dinh FC and Ratchaburi (opening Group F of AFC Champions League 2) at Thien Truong Stadium took place. In their second return to the Asian playground, Nam Dinh FC is determined to start with 3 full points, in the context of only meeting the team ranked fourth in the Thai League last season.

Sharing about the preparation for the match, Coach Vu Hong Viet said: "Currently, we are ready for the AFC Champions League 2 arena. Regarding the opponent Ratchaburi, they have a good force with many notable foreign players. However, with the support of Thien Truong, the whole team is confident to aim for a favorable result in the opening match."

According to Mr. Vu Hong Viet, the new players (especially the 5 newly arrived foreign players) are integrating well. "Depending on each match, we will rotate the squad flexibly. The goal of the whole team is to go deep in the AFC Champions League 2 this year," shared the coach of Nam Dinh Club.

Last season, Nam Dinh FC passed the group stage with second place (behind Bangkok United). In the round of 16, the team from the southern region stopped after a 0-7 aggregate defeat against Sanfrecce Hiroshima (Japan). This season, the V-League representative wants to at least advance to the round of 16 like last season.

In Group F, Nam Dinh FC will compete with Gamba Osaka, Ratchaburi and Eastern. This is a group that is suitable for the team from the South, as only Gamba Osaka is superior. Nam Dinh FC needs to make good use of the matches against Eastern and Ratchaburi to win one of the two leading positions.

Meanwhile, Nam Dinh's center-back Lucas Alves shared: "I know that Ratchaburi is not an easy opponent. However, when playing at home, Nam Dinh Club's goal is nothing other than 3 points.

Of course, the matches in the group will be very quick. Therefore, the whole team must cherish every point, not letting it fall into the hands of the opponent. Only 2 teams will continue, and we will try our best to win a ticket to the next round."

The match between Nam Dinh vs Ratchaburi takes place at 7:15 p.m. on September 17 at Thien Truong Stadium. The match will be broadcast live on K+.
