Goalkeeper Văn Lâm had an excellent game, maintaining a clean sheet versus the reigning champions Nam Định and received full commendation from coach Albadalejo post-match.
Recently, Ninh Bình achieved an emotional victory over Nam Định. Playing at home with key players shining at the right moment, Ninh Bình defeated Nam Định and extended their winning streak to four matches.
After the game, goalkeeper Đặng Văn Lâm expressed his happiness but also reminded the team to stay focused as this is only the early stage of the season.
"Today, Lâm and the entire team tried their best to deliver an exciting match for the fans. Everyone gave their all for Ninh Bình, the team showed great unity and performed very well. Our goal now is to handle each match one by one, even though Ninh Bình has not dropped any points, we must maintain concentration because this is just the beginning of the season."
Văn Lâm himself contributed significantly to Ninh Bình's victory, making many saves and denying Nam Định's goal-scoring chances.
Ninh Bình's coach Gerard Albadalejo expressed his happiness to have Văn Lâm and stated that he is currently the best goalkeeper in Vietnam.
“I believe today Văn Lâm fulfilled all our expectations. With humility and respect for all goalkeepers in the league, I am fortunate to have the best goalkeeper in Vietnam; his achievements prove that. Today, Văn Lâm demonstrated the qualities of a top goalkeeper: excellent in making crucial saves. In my personal opinion, he is the number one goalkeeper in the country."
On September 28, Ninh Bình will travel to Hải Phòng. This will be a challenging match since Hải Phòng is always very dangerous on their home ground.
