Vietnam's national team is already strong with Xuân Son, and adding Hoàng Hên makes them even stronger.

Coach Vũ Hồng Việt believes the combination of Xuân Son and Hoàng Hên will help Vietnam's national team become increasingly stronger in the future.

On the evening of March 13th, Nam Định Club narrowly secured a 1-0 victory over Thanh Hoá to earn three valuable points. This result also extended the home team's winning streak at Thiên Trường Stadium to three consecutive matches since Coach Vũ Hồng Việt returned to lead the team.

Speaking after the match, Coach Hồng Việt shared: “First, I am very pleased with this win. The players performed with excellent spirit and executed the planned tactics correctly. This was a difficult match, but the whole team showed determination to secure the victory.”

“Thanh Hóa is a very resilient team. What impressed me most was their competitive spirit. Despite facing many difficulties, the players still performed with outstanding spirit, which is highly commendable,”the strategist also praised the opponent.

Notably, responding to a question about Xuân Son potentially reuniting with Hoàng Hên in Vietnam's national team attack in the near future, Coach Vũ Hồng Việt shared:

Beyond the professional aspects of the match, Coach Vũ Hồng Việt assessed that the synergy between these two players could bring significant value to the Vietnamese national team.

“Previously, Vietnam's national team was much stronger with Xuân Son. Adding Hoàng Hên would make the team even stronger. These two players have played together with great默契. I feel they don't even need to look at each other to understand how the other is moving.”

The Nam Định coach also believes that if they maintain their form and develop properly, both Xuân Son and Hoàng Hên can make important contributions to the national team in the coming period.

With the three points earned, Nam Định now has 21 points and temporarily climbs to the 6th position on the standings table.
