Will Trong Hoang equal the record of his two predecessors?
(Baonghean.vn) - Up to this point, former goalkeeper Vo Van Hanh and former midfielder Nguyen Minh Phuong are jointly holding the record for the number of times they have won the V.League championship with 3 different teams.
In the third round of group APhase 2 V.League 2020, Viettel defeated B.Binh Duong to take the number 1 position on the rankings. With the current form, the chance of winning the championship of coach Truong Viet Hoang and his team is extremely high. If that happens, Hoang "cow" will have the 4th time to lift the Championship Cup atV.League arena.

In the past, the Nghe An player won the championship at V.League 2011, V.League 2014 and V.League 2015 in the colors of SLNA and B.Binh Duong (2 consecutive times). Thus, if Viettel wins the V.League 2020, Nguyen Trong Hoang will be able to "sit at the same table" with two seniors, former goalkeeper Vo Van Hanh and former midfielder Nguyen Minh Phuong.
During his playing days, former goalkeeper Vo Van Hanh set a record with 4 V.League championships with SLNA (2001), HAGL (2003, 2004) and SHB Da Nang (2009). The former goalkeeper from Phu Yen was even nicknamed "King Midas" of Vietnamese football by football fans, because he won noble titles no matter which team he played for.

It was not until V.League 2012 that Vo Van Hanh's record had a co-owner. The owner of that honor was none other than former midfielder Nguyen Minh Phuong. SHB Da Nang's 2012 V.League championship helped the player born in 1980 win the championship for the 4th time in this arena, the previous 3 times were with Saigon Port (2002) and Dong Tam Long An Brick (2005, 2006).
One very notable detail is that at the present time, no player has won the V.League more than 4 times. That also means that Nguyen Trong Hoang is also facing the opportunity to equal the record of winning the most V.League championships of Vo Van Hanh, Nguyen Minh Phuong, Nguyen Anh Duc, Nguyen Van Quyet and Moses Oloya.
Surely, Viettel and Hoang "cow" fans are hoping that coach Truong Viet Hoang and his team will not fall into the situation of "holding the gold and letting it fall". The record double is calling Nguyen Trong Hoang./.
