The former Song Lam Nghe An and The Cong - Viettel player did not contribute much to his home team Becamex Binh Duong in the 2023/2024 season.
At the end of the 2023 season, Que Ngoc Hai was unexpectedly given the green light by Song Lam Nghe An to find a new destination. The next destination for the 1993-born midfielder is Becamex Binh Duong, with a 2-year contract and a "huge" salary (a signing bonus of about 6 billion/year).
Despite receiving a lot of expectations from fans, Que Ngoc Hai's first season at Becamex Binh Duong did not go really smoothly. Injuries of varying degrees forced the former player of Song Lam Nghe An and The Cong - Viettel to regularly watch his teammates compete from the stands.
According to statistics, in V.League 2023/2024, Que Ngoc Hai only played 13 matches (9 starting matches) with a total of 873 minutes. If not counting the 2021 season - the season canceled due to the Covid-19 epidemic, this is the season that the central defender from Dien Chau district played the least since being promoted to the first team of Song Lam Nghe An (2013).

Que Ngoc Hai's frequent absence has significantly affected Becamex Binh Duong's strength, especially in defense. Don't forget, in addition to his professional skills as a leading center-back in Vietnamese football over the past time, the 31-year-old player is also a true leader.
In order to best prepare for the 2024/2025 season, the team from the land of Thu has made major changes in terms of personnel. The "hot seat" left by coach Le Huynh Duc has been given to the former "captain" of U20 Vietnam and U23 Vietnam, Hoang Anh Tuan. In addition, there are new recruits.

Certainly, the competition for a starting position at Becamex Binh Duong next season will be extremely fierce. To be valued by coach Hoang Anh Tuan, players must make a lot of effort. And Que Ngoc Hai is no exception. Hopefully, Que Ngoc Hai will no longer be plagued by injuries./.
