Surprise with the typical lineup of V.League 2019 voted by VPF
(Baonghean.vn) - Recently, the V.League 2019 Organizing Committee announced the typical lineup of the season. Song Lam Nghe An Club has only 1 representative, goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, HAGL has 2 representatives and the defending champion Hanoi dominates with 4 players.
Goalkeeper: Tran Nguyen Manh (SLNA)
In V.League 2019, SLNA is the team with the best defense when only conceding 26 goals. The above achievement of the Nghe An team bears the mark of goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh. Throughout the past season, despite facing difficulties due to past injuries, Nguyen Manh played a total of 23 times as the main goalkeeper, keeping a clean sheet in 11 matches. Unfortunately, injuries forced Nguyen Manh to leave the team.

Left back: Doan Van Hau (Hanoi Club)
In the 2019 season, Doan Van Hau played 21 matches for Hanoi FC before moving to Heerenveen FC of the Netherlands. With stable performance on the left wing of the capital team, the young player born in 1999 surpassed Nguyen Cong Thanh of Ho Chi Minh City FC to enter the typical squad. Although he did not win the championship with Hanoi FC, this player's contributions to the team were enormous.

Center back: Bui Tien Dung (Viettel)
The VPF's best lineup is quite different from the choices of Fox Sports and Goal Vietnam Magazine. Accordingly, the center-back position belongs to Bui Tien Dung of Viettel instead of Damir Memovic of SLNA. The captain of Viettel Club has been in quite stable form this season with 24 matches and 3 goals. The 6th place on the rankings of this rookie team is also a relatively positive result.

Center back: Nguyen Huu Tuan (Ho Chi Minh City)
Center back Nguyen Huu Tuan had a memorable season with Ho Chi Minh City Club. He is a mainstay in the Ho Chi Minh City Club's defense with 25 appearances, scoring 1 goal. His impressive performance in V.League 2019 has helped Huu Tuan participate in many recent training sessions with the Vietnam National Team. This season, Ho Chi Minh City Club has a fairly solid defense with only 29 goals conceded. It can be said that Huu Tuan has surpassed Duy Manh, Ngoc Hai, Tien Dung to deserve to be on the list of 11 best players in V.League 2019.

Binh Duong ranked 4th overall and had a great contribution from the U22 Vietnam player. The player born in 1997 played 22 matches and scored 2 goals. Tan Tai is also the only representative of the capital team in the typical lineup.

Midfielder: Mac Hong Quan (Than Quang Ninh)
Mac Hong Quan had an extremely explosive season with Than Quang Ninh. Not only did he do a good job of dominating the midfield, the midfielder born in 1992 scored 9 goals for his team in the V.League, contributing greatly to the Bronze Medal for the mining team. Although he was called up by coach Park Hang-seo to prepare for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, unfortunately this player was injured.

Midfielder: Nguyen Quang Hai (Hanoi)
This season, Do Hung Dung played a total of 24 times in V.League 2019 and scored 3 goals. However, the position of the best central midfielder in V.League 2019 belongs to his teammate Nguyen Quang Hai. The Vietnamese national team player played 24 matches and scored 8 goals. The impressive performance of the player born in 1997 in the second leg was the deciding factor for him to be on this list.

Midfielder: Nguyen Van Toan (HAGL)
Nguyen Van Toan is the leader of the HAGL team. The mountain town team did not achieve a high ranking in the V.League, but the striker born in 1996 had an impressive season. He played in all of HAGL's matches, scoring 9 goals and 11 assists. Many opinions say that Van Toan deserves to be the best player of the V.League 2019.

Midfielder: Nguyen Van Quyet (Hanoi)
During the first leg, Van Quyet did not show much due to injury. However, the captain of Hanoi FC has played extremely explosively since the second leg. Cunning and battle experience are things that Van Quyet always has. Throughout the season, although Van Quyet only played 15 matches, he scored 9 goals. Unfortunately, the best player of V.League 2019 was not in the plan of coach Park Hang-seo in the recent matches of the Vietnam National Team.

Forward: Tran Minh Vuong (HAGL)
It is not Viettel's Bruno Cunha but Tran Minh Vuong who is the domestic striker appearing in the typical lineup of V.League 2019. Minh Vuong's performance this season is extremely impressive with 12 goals after 25 matches. Unfortunately, that performance did not help the HAGL player to be called up by coach Park Hang-seo to the Vietnam national team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Playing abroad, Cong Phuong and Van Hau are still far behind Cong Vinh
(Baonghean.vn) - Although it was decades ago when striker Le Cong Vinh joined Leixoes Club in Portugal, during that time, no Vietnamese player had played as much in Europe as the player from Nghe An.
