Many records of Song Lam Nghe An were broken by Hanoi Club.
(Baonghean.vn) - The titles at the 2020 Vietnam Golden Ball Awards ceremony along with a series of recent titles in the domestic arena are helping Hanoi FC become the most successful team. Many records owned by Song Lam Nghe An have been leveled and broken by the capital team.
At the ceremony to honor outstanding individuals of Vietnamese football in 2020, the 2020 Vietnam Golden Ball officially belonged to striker Nguyen Van Quyet of Hanoi Club. Two players of Viettel, defender Bui Tien Dung and Que Ngoc Hai, won the Silver Ball and Bronze Ball respectively. Van Quyet's victory was absolute with 526 points, Bui Tien Dung 162 points and Que Ngoc Hai 124 points.
In reality, it is very rare that the players playing in defense are the owners of theVietnam Golden Ball. In the past, only 2 goalkeepers have received this honor: Vo Van Hanh (2001) and Duong Hong Son (2008). The only defender to win the Vietnam Golden Ball award was Tran Cong Minh in 1999. However, 2020 is the first time all 3 players of the national team are in the top 3 to be honored.

Thus, for 3 consecutive years, Hanoi FC has had players winning the Golden Ball award. As for SLNA, for 3 consecutive years, players like Phan Van Duc, Nguyen Trong Hoang and most recently Que Ngoc Hai have been the owners of the Bronze Ball award.
With the above achievements, Hanoi FC has equaled or broken the records created by the traditional football teams of Vietnam in the past. Currently, Hanoi FC has 5 National Championships - equaling the achievements of the legendary The Cong in the past. This team with a strong force from foreign players to domestic players is also hoping to win the championship for the 6th time, thereby soon becoming the club with the most domestic championship titles in Vietnam.
In just a decade, Mr. Hien's team has surpassed SLNA with achievements that seemed impossible to erase. At the National Super Cup, Hanoi FC established a new "order" when it surpassed the Nghe An team to become the club that has participated in the National Super Cup the most (7 times), as well as equaling SLNA and B. Binh Duong in the number of times they have won the Super Cup (4 times).

After the Vietnam Golden Ball Award Gala, Hanoi FC also surpassed SLNA to become the club with the most players winning the Vietnam Golden Ball with 6 times (Duong Hong Son, Pham Thanh Luong (4), Nguyen Quang Hai, Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Van Quyet). This team also has the 7th time having a young player receive the Best Young Player award while SLNA has 6 times, the most recent being Tran Phi Son in 2012.
Obviously, SLNA is no longer dominating the titles like the generation of Pham Van Quyen and Le Cong Vinh. It is undeniable that SLNA has experienced the courage and resilience throughout the 2 decades of Vietnam professional football, but this is truly the time of Hanoi, the era of football "strong because of rice, bold because of money".
Song Lam Nghe An: From 'tough and decisive' playing style to a team winning style award
(Baonghean.vn) - In the V.League, teams like Hanoi and HAGL are considered to have beautiful playing styles. However, Song Lam Nghe An also deserves to be ranked among the top "Fairplay" teams of the tournament.
