Unfortunately, persistent injuries have hindered Le The Cuong's brilliance. In the last 3 seasons (2017 - 2019), the 29-year-old midfielder's familiar position has been on the bench or in the medical room. Up to this point in V.League 2019, the player wearing the number 14 shirt has only played 409 minutes and has not scored any goals.
Wearing the Hai Phong FC shirt, Le The Cuong will be playing alongside many players from Nghe An. Typically, goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai, defender Nguyen Van Duc and midfielder Dau Thanh Phong./.
