PVF-CAND is determined to stay in the V-League

Head coach Tran Tien Dai and his PVF-CAND squad are determined to beat Bac Ninh FC in the play-off, scheduled for 6:00 PM on June 12, to retain their V-League status.

"We are not putting pressure on the players. The whole team is only focusing on what we need to prepare to have the best possible match. The most important thing is the never-give-up spirit of the players, which has been maintained throughout a very long journey of 10 consecutive matches.

With that spirit, the players have always followed the game plan, and fortunately, we earned the play-off spot. We will do our best to win this match," PVF-CAND head coach Tran Tien Dai confidently stated.

Meanwhile, central defender Pham Ly Duc shared: "For me personally and for the whole team, PVF-CAND has prepared very thoroughly for this play-off, maintaining the best physical condition, and we will fight with more than 100% of our ability when we step onto the pitch.

Everyone knows Bruno Cunha is a very dangerous player for Bac Ninh FC. He is an important attacking spearhead for the opponent, possessing excellent aerial ability and space domination in the air.

We have promised our fans and supporters that the whole team will fight with all their might to achieve the best result."

On the side of Bac Ninh FC, coach Paulo Foiani emphasized: "From the first day I arrived here, my dream and goal have been to bring the team to play in the V-League. Therefore, all our efforts throughout the season have been directed towards this match.

I can feel the confidence and happiness of the players as they experience this moment. The team has been built and prepared to be here. I believe the players are ready.

I am grateful that our fans have always appeared in large numbers at all matches. I want to call on anyone who can to come to Ha Tinh to continue supporting the team.

The entire coaching staff, the players, and I will do everything we can to give the fans the most meaningful gift: the promotion ticket."
