After Ninh Bình's comeback victory, Coach Thạch Bảo Khanh highly praised the opposing team's captain.

He stressed that PVF-CAND started the game with strong spirit and determination, playing fairly against their opponents:

“We only lost during moments when Ninh Bình’s stars shone, especially Hoàng Đức. The young team’s weakness is the lack of experienced players to maintain control of the match. Without Văn Thuận in this game, we faced difficulties managing the tempo. However, there is no shame; the players fought with all their heart. Our loss came down to those star moments.”

Coach Thạch Bảo Khanh stated that the entire team is preparing carefully for each match and that the coaching staff will continue analyzing opponents to prepare for the next rounds.

Conversely, Ninh Bình FC’s coach Gerard Albadalejo highly valued the victory on the opponent’s ground:

“We knew this would be a very challenging match. After defeating Hà Nội FC, we had to face a team that had never lost at home, featuring many promising young Vietnamese players alongside experienced foreign players. Scoring three goals away and securing the win indicates the team is moving in the right direction after nearly one-third of the season.”

The Spanish coach also expressed his expectations for the Vietnamese overseas player Trần Thành Trung in his first starting appearance in the V.League:

“Thành Trung has great potential to perform at a high level for many years to come. But like the rest of the team, he still needs to put in more effort. I believe in the young players. Mistakes are part of growing up. What matters is learning from those mistakes and improving after every match.”
