Sharing with the press later, the midfielder from Ha Tinh who is currently playing for Quang Ninh Club did not believe that he would one day win the double award, including the V.League championship and the Vietnam Golden Ball, Thanh Trung shared: "When I first joined Quang Nam Club, I did not think that one day I would be able to do this. This is the most beautiful moment in my career."
"For Quang Nam Club, winning the 2017 V.League championship is difficult, defending this title is even more difficult. My teammates and I are aware of that. Recently, the Club has refocused and has directions for the upcoming season. As for me, I will work hard to continue to contribute to the Club and the National Team," said the 2017 Vietnam Golden Ball winner.
