Two foreign players are shaking up V.League

Although they are new to the V.League, Lima and Claudecir have already made many teams go crazy. Now, all opponents must give these two rookies special care.

Claudecir is becoming a phenomenon in V.League after joining QNK.QN and scoring with impressive efficiency. In just 4 matches, this 27-year-old striker has scored 6 goals, on average, every 60 minutes, Claudecir has a goal. Meanwhile, this index of the 2 players leading the V.League's scoring list, Gaston Merlo and Samson, is 105 minutes/goal and 112.25 minutes/goal respectively... In the most recent 4-4 draw with FLC Thanh Hoa, Claudecir scored a hat-trick - something Merlo has not been able to do.

Coach Hoang Van Phuc could not help but be satisfied with Claudecir's excellent performance. More importantly, Claudecir and Diao Sadio are forming a powerful duo for QNK.QN. Of course, all opponents will have to be wary of this duo, especially Claudecir - the most successful contract of V.League this season and also a killer with a scoring efficiency so good that even the top scorer must be jealous.

Lima is the hope of Saigon FC

Saigon FC bravely abandoned Jean-Eudes Maurice, a striker who had been with PSG for 7 years, to recruit Dudu Lima, and this also speaks to the value of this Brazilian player. Up to now, Lima has played 4 matches, scoring 2 goals, equal to Maurice's total in the first leg. The results have proven the right decision of coach Duc Thang.

In the match against QNK.QN, Saigon FC was 3 goals behind but Lima always encouraged and urged his teammates to move forward, he himself scored a goal to reduce the score to 2-3. Finally, Saigon FC came back to tie the score 3-3 and all 3 of their goals were scored in 6 minutes. In Saigon FC's 1-0 victory over SLNA at Thong Nhat Stadium packed with Nghe An fans, Lima was the only one to score, from a classy header.

Coach Duc Thang said: “Lima is even better than that because with a team that plays in coordination like Saigon FC, Lima needs more time to integrate. But this is a good player, has a lot of potential and has a very diverse finishing style”. Meanwhile, coach Ngo Quang Truong was upset: “Lima is the difference between a winner and a loser. I believe he will be successful in the V.League”.
