Former SLNA midfielder Le The Cuong: A rare 'bright spot' at the Hai Phong team
(Baonghean.vn) - Although Hai Phong is having a bad season, their squad still has some impressive individuals, typically midfielder Le The Cuong.
Moving to Lach Tray Stadium at the beginning of this season, the former SLNA and XSKT Can Tho midfielder is often used by the Hai Phong coaching staff as a left winger. After 11 rounds of V.League 2020, Le The Cuong was in the starting lineup for 8 matches and came on as a substitute in 3 more matches.

Not letting down the trust of coach Pham Anh Tuan and his colleagues, the player wearing the number 9 shirt played quite well in the role of a "spearhead" on the wing. According to statistics, the midfielder born in 1990 contributed to 2/5 goals of Hai Phong in V.League 2020, with 1 goal and 1 assist.
The goal against Hong Linh Ha Tinh in round 11, which took place at Lach Tray Stadium on July 24, was Le The Cuong's first goal for the team of the city of red phoenix flowers. Remember, in the match between Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong in round 1, the 30-year-old player had a header to help Mpande score the only goal of the match.
Possessing basic personal skills and an enthusiastic and aggressive playing style, Le The Cuong not only completed his attacking tasks quite well, but also actively supported the home team's defense. Many times, Le The Cuong made tackles like a player playing in the position of a central defender or a defensive midfielder.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the player from Ha Tinh is one of Hai Phong's best players so far in V.League 2020, alongside goalkeeper Nguyen Van Toan and foreign player Mpande. In terms of attack, Le The Cuong's contribution is second only to striker Mpande, who has scored 3 goals.

Currently, Hai Phong has the service of Nghiem Xuan Tu, the best right winger in V.League in recent seasons. Accordingly, the team from Hai Phong will become very formidable, with the "wings" Le The Cuong - Nghiem Xuan Tu.
