Many Vietnamese football experts believe that the Japanese coach is the "blockbuster" contract of the 2018 season. Returning to Vietnam in a new position, what will Miura do with Ho Chi Minh City Club? That is what many audiences are eagerly waiting for. Coming to Ho Chi Minh City, coach Miura owns many quality players and foreign soldiers, including midfielder Tran Phi Son.

2. Audience

After the successful U23 Asian Cup, the top stars of Vietnamese football returning to their clubs will bring a breath of fresh air to the V.League. Clubs such as Hanoi, HAGL, FLC Thanh Hoa or SLNA are teams that are receiving special attention from fans because they have many U23 Vietnamese players in their squad. It can be said that the U23 Asian Cup has regained the trust of Vietnamese audiences.

3. The two-horse race between Hanoi and FLC Thanh Hoa

Last season's runner-up has invested heavily by bringing in many famous players and especially coach Marian Mihail while Hanoi has a squad that combines experience and youth. Hanoi Club is also the team that owns a series of U23 Vietnam stars, playing together for many years such as Duy Manh, Dinh Trong, Quang Hai, Thanh Chung...

4. Hai Phong fans

Let's wait for interesting surprises from this most special fan club in Vietnam. And of course, we cannot fail to mention other fan clubs with strong forces such as SLNA, FLC Thanh Hoa...

5. "Broker" Dai

"Broker" Tran Tien Dai, after a period of "retiring from the world", has unexpectedly returned to Vietnamese football life as the President of Saigon Club. This time, "broker" Dai is determined to do decent football to make "Saigon Club belong to the people of Saigon". Will his wish and the whole team's wish come true? Let's wait and see what this infamous man will bring to Ho Chi Minh City football next season.

6. "Golden" time frame

V.League has revolutionized the match time with 3 main time slots: 5pm - 6pm - 7pm. This will have a significant impact on the audience's TV viewing habits, increase the value of TV copyright packages and create favorable conditions for the audience to come to the stadium to watch the matches.

7. Hoang Anh Gia Lai

Just like "Hai Phong Fans", the name "HAGL" itself says it all. The team has a large fan base, attracting the most attention from the media. At the same time, it is the return of Luong Xuan Truong and hot names like Cong Phuong or Tuan Anh,... Let's wait and see how "The kids of Mr. Duc" will stir up Pleiku.

8. Nguyen Quang Hai - Dinh Thanh Trung & Tran Phi Son

Three names that left a mark last season will receive more attention than ever. Quang Hai becomes the leader of Hanoi. Thanh Trung leads Quang Nam to defend the championship and especially Phi Son, a player who needs to prove his worth when moving to a new team - Ho Chi Minh City.

9. Relegation battle

Increasing the relegation rate to 1.5 will contribute to creating a fierce and intense race in the 2018 season. Which team will have to say goodbye after this season ends?

10. Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN FC

In the 2017 season, S. Khanh Hoa BVN and Saigon were the two teams with the most impressive and convincing performances. In the new season, while Saigon had to face the relegation battle, S. Khanh Hoa BVN still had a stable force.

After reaching the final of the Mekong Cup 2017, the coastal city team under the leadership of coach Vo Dinh Tan is expected to create many interesting surprises, true to their inherent "rebellious" nature./.
