'Some come, some go' after the mid-season transfer period of V.League 2022

1.Hanoi Club

With the poor performance of two foreign players Josip Ivancic and Zec Djuro, the coaching staff of Hanoi club had to make replacements. Forwards Mujan Tonci and Lucao were chosen. These contracts quickly integrated into the team and made their own mark in the recent matches. Another surprise was that former Vietnam national team center back Huynh Tan Sinh joined the capital team on a loan contract from Quang Nam club.

In the opposite direction, Hai Phong club was loaned central defender Dang Van Toi until the end of the season and the People's Police team was loaned U23 player Vu Tien Long and young player Nguyen Tuan Anh.

2.Lam River Nghe An

Mario is the only new contract of Song Lam Nghe An in the mid-season transfer period.

The Nghe An team is one of the teams that rarely participate in the transfer market. The only contract of Song Lam Nghe An is midfielder Mario Blasco to replace the injured foreign player O'Jong Mark. And the addition of midfielder Tran Nam Hai promoted from the youth team to replace player Nguyen Van Bach on loan to Quang Nam club. The addition of Mario and Nam Hai is expected to help strengthen the quality of the midfield ofLam River Nghe Anin the second half of the season.

3.Hai Phong Club

The Hai Phong team only had one change, which was central defender Dang Van Toi, who came from Hanoi Club on loan. This addition was very timely when the Hai Phong Club's defense played quite poorly in the first leg. Right in the first match for Hai Phong, Dang Van Toi contributed to the victory of the Hai Phong team against Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

4.Topenland Binh Dinh

The blockbuster contract named Dang Van Lam is the only addition to the martial arts team. With this addition, Topeland Binh Dinh is hoping to build a quality squad, with depth in all 3 lines and the ambition to have a high position in V.League 2022. Immediately after the appearance of Dang Van Lam, Topenland Binh Dinh also said goodbye to goalkeeper Le Thanh Binh to Khanh Hoa Club.

Blockbuster contract Dang Van Lam arrives at Topenland Binh Dinh.

5.Viettel Club

Witnessing the remarkable progress of two young players Phan Tuan Tai and Khuat Van Khang in youth tournaments, the coaching staff of Viettel club quickly registered to add this duo for the second leg. With the squad remaining almost the same (only midfielder Trong Dai parted ways to join Hong Linh Ha Tinh), Viettel is certainly still a formidable team in thereturn leg.

6.Hoang Anh Gia Lai

As one of the clubs with the most changes in personnel, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has said goodbye to 2 foreign players (Kim Dongsu, Jefferson Baiano) and 2 domestic players (Le Duc Luong, Huynh Tien Dat to Cong An Nhan Dan on loan). Besides, they also added 2 other foreign players, center back An Sae Hee and striker Bruno Henrique. However, both of them still seem to have not yet integrated into the common playing style of the mountain town team. With a deep squad, Hoang Anh Gia Lai will still be one of the bright candidates for the top 3 of V.League 2022.

7.SHB Da Nang

The poor quality of foreign players is the reason why coach Phan Thanh Hung has eliminated Ivan Maric, Damir Memovic and Christian Kone. Besides, they also said goodbye to A Mit (to Dong A Thanh Hoa), Nguyen Sy Nam (to Hong Linh Ha Tinh) and Lieu Quang Vinh (to Saigon club). On the other hand, with the addition of Walisson Maia, Erick Luis, Claudir will add quality to the Han River team in all 3 lines.

8.East Asia Thanh Hoa

Paulo Henrique and Victor Kamhuka were the two players who had to say goodbye. Replacing these two foreign players were central defender Gustavo Santos and striker Gustavo Santos Balotelli. Another notable addition was midfielder A Mit from SHB Da Nang club, who was the one who raised the score to 2-0 in the victory over Hong Linh Ha Tinh club.

9.Hong Linh Ha Tinh

With the addition of Trong Dai (Viettel), Machado and Nguyen Sy Nam (SHB Da Nang), coach Nguyen Thanh Cong wants to increase the depth of Hong Linh Ha Tinh's squad. In addition, foreign player Abu Basit has left after some lackluster performances. Hong Linh's goal is still to successfully stay in the V.League 2022.

10.Ho Chi Minh City Club

Among the teams that spent the most in the mid-season transfer window this year,Ho Chi Minh Cityrecruited the striker duo who are leading the list of top scorers of the Jamaican league, Bygrave and Green Daniel. This duo has also promptly contributed 3 goals in the recent matches of Ho Chi Minh City. But the most notable character that the Red Battleship brought in is Nguyen The Anh Lee, the 35-year-old player still shows that his class is undeniable. Ho Chi Minh City's playing style is smoother and more dangerous with the presence of Lee Nguyen. In addition, the team from the city named after Uncle Ho has another change, which is coach Truong Viet Hoang sitting in the hot seat to replace Mr. Tran Minh Chien. With quality additions, Ho Chi Minh City club is trying to achieve the goal of being in the top half of the V.League 2022 rankings.

11.Nam Dinh Club

The Southern team struggled to find foreign players, Fagan replaced Marcio De Oliveira, Mansaray replaced Rodrigo Dias. However, when the transfer period was about to end, they liquidated Fagan to return to the old Rodrigo Dias. In addition, they also signed a contract with Vietnamese-American center-back Steven Dang to supplement the shaky defense. In an effort to stay in the V.League this year, the Nam Dinh club's leadership invited coach Vu Hong Viet to replace Mr. Nguyen Van Sy - who will be rotated to become an advisor for the club.

12.Saigon Club

The former U20 Australia player joining Saigon is one of the notable contracts.

Standing at the bottom of the rankings, it is clear that Saigon Club really wants to add quality personnel to play better in the second leg. Center back Rodrigue Nanitelamino was chosen to replace Korean center back Ahn Byung Keon and another center back, Lieu Quang Vinh, was also brought in by Saigon Club's coaching staff to patch up the worst defense in V.League 2022. However, the most notable contract is striker Nicholas Olsen from Brisbane Roar Club in the Australian championship. He was also the one who opened the score in the Ho Chi Minh City Derby. Another addition but in a high-ranking position is Mr. Le Huynh Duc, who was invited to be the club's technical director. If the above additions do not maximize their effectiveness, it will be difficult for Saigon Club to be present in V.League 2023.

The second leg of V.League 2022 will continue to take place across the country this weekend.
