(Baonghean.vn) - In the history of Vietnamese football, V.League 2020 is remembered as a very special and turbulent season, with 2 breaks due to Covid-19. But in the end, the season still finished as scheduled with the championship and relegation races being the most exciting and tense in V.League history.

First, people had to witness the former champion Quang Nam being relegated but leaving a very impressive mark. The last 3 matchesCoach Successhave lost 9 points, exactly the same as their previous 15 rounds. The story only happens inV.Leaguethat's all.

A season in which 8 coaches had to leave, in which coach C.Oliveira of B.Binh Duong had to say goodbye to the team when V.League 2020 had not yet opened because he was said to not have a coaching license (?!!!). But perhaps the happiest thing was that Thanh Hoa changed 3 coaches, in which coach Thanh Cong left because he could not accept having to use 3 foreign players with Hoang Vu Samson and replace players by voting in the coaching board.

Although he could not save Quang Nam, Coach Thanh Cong's record is only inferior to his senior Truong Viet Hoang, who led Viettel to the championship. He led the team in 12 matches atV.League 2020Against weak teams like Thanh Hoa and Quang Nam, the coach from Nghe An won 7, lost 3, and drew 2.

Nam Dinh has had a second season without a win away from home. They lost 7, drew 2 away from Thien Truong Stadium and if they do not improve their performance, they may have a fourth season forced to participate in the relegation race. On the contrary, outside the stadium, Nam Dinh fans show a rare enthusiasm for Vietnamese football. Without them, Thanh Nam's position would certainly be in the First Division, not 13th.

SLNA only finished 10th, perhaps due to the tournament's regulations changing due to Covid-19 rather than their weak ability. In fact, they were better than HAGL and Hong Linh Ha Tinh, but because the foreign strikers were slow to catch up with the team, they were thrown out of the top 8. The departure of Tuan Tai, the player with more goals than the 3 foreign strikers of this team, madeSLNA coaching staffmust have a headache.

Runner-up Ho Chi Minh City is a disappointing team in V.League 2020. The "blockbuster" did not explode and the Thong Nhat Stadium team dropped to 5th place. Obviously, Ho Chi Minh City is only good at playing defensive counter-attacks, when having to play as the top team, Mr. Chung's students lost up to 8 matches. When facing Hanoi FC, losing up to 4 times in 1 season, people can see that it will take a long time for Ho Chi Minh City Club to erase the gap between the 2 teams.

Disappointed HAGL and TP.HCM

Have many quality players likeCong Phuong, Phi Son, Hoang Thinh, Van Thuan and foreign players have unlimited budget, if needed they will be there but TP.HCM has not shown the depth of their force. Stretching themselves in all 3 arenas has made them run out of breath and empty handed this season.

HAGL still refuses to grow up even though Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong, Van Toan and teammates have participated.V.League5 seasons. “The children of Mr. Duc” are still an attacking team, not a defensive team, with 36 goals conceded. HAGL and Quang Nam are the 2 teams with the worst defense in the league. If they don’t win the last match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh, they will have set a record of losing all 7 matches of the season. Playing like HAGL is fun, only Pho Nui can say.

Two-horse race

Hanoi is still a team worth watching with the strongest attack in V.League with 37 goals and a patchwork defense when Dinh Trong, Duy Manh are injured, Van Hau is abroad. The defense has names that are playing in V.League for the first time such as Viet Anh, Van Xuan but they only conceded 16 goals, along with Viettel, they are considered the team with the best defense in V.League. But the loss of momentum in the first phase and not winning against Viettel in a direct confrontation has turned them into the former champion.

Viettel saved V.League 2020 from being boring when they prevented Hanoi from becoming champions for the third time. Viettel is not a team with devastating victories, not overwhelming the opponent but with a solid playing style that helped them win the championship for the first time with 11 wins.
