Vietnam Golden Ball 2020: What are the chances for Que Ngoc Hai?

Not long after the title of Best Player of V.League 2020 was awarded, the list of nominations for the Vietnam Golden Ball 2020 was also quickly announced. Specifically, at the press conference announcing the organization plan taking place on the morning of November 26, the worthy names were also announced.

Notably, the list of nominees for the 2020 Vietnam Golden Ball includes Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Tuan Anh of HAGL, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Tran Phi Son of Ho Chi Minh City Club, Ho Tuan Tai of SLNA and many players who have performed well for other V.League clubs.

This year’s Vietnam Golden Ball title is an interesting competition between a series of Viettel and Hanoi players. In particular, Hanoi Club has bright names such as Van Quyet, Quang Hai, Hung Dung… Viettel Club has Ngoc Hai, Tien Dung, Hoang Duc, Trong Hoang, Nguyen Manh, Khac Ngoc and foreign player Bruno Cantanhede.

2020 was a difficult year for Vietnamese football due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the national teams did not have any matches and all measures focused on domestic titles such as the V.League and the National Cup. Therefore, the players who won the V.League last year of Viettel naturally had more advantages than the National Cup champions, Hanoi Club.

However, if looking at the recent V.League Awards, the face that received the most favor is Nguyen Van Quyet of Hanoi Club. The captain of the capital team received the title of Best Player of V.League 2020 despite the fact that his team only finished second in V.League. Not only that, Van Quyet was also ranked in the typical squad of V.League 2020.

Meanwhile, the V.League Awards also caused controversy when the typical lineup of the tournament last year, Viettel Club only had Trong Hoang and Nguyen Manh in the typical lineup. The very prominent faces and those who contributed a lot to the V.League championship such as Que Ngoc Hai, Khac Ngoc, Tien Dung were forgotten. Obviously, these are certain disadvantages for Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates.

Currently, the last 5 names in the 2020 Vietnam Golden Ball race are Bui Tien Dung (Viettel Club), Que Ngoc Hai (Viettel Club), Nguyen Quang Hai (Hanoi Club) - Nguyen Trong Hoang (Viettel Club), Nguyen Van Quyet (Hanoi Club). In case Van Quyet wins, Que Ngoc Hai deserves the Silver Ball title for his efforts.

In 2020, Que Ngoc Hai played 19 matches for Viettel Club and was one of the players who made up the most solid defense in V.League 2020. In the national team jersey, Ngoc Hai scored 3 goals after 46 appearances for the team.

In addition to the Golden Ball for men, there is also the title of Best Young Player of V.League 2020. This title is unlikely to escape the hands of player Bui Hoang Viet Anh instead of Hai Long or Huu Thang. The most prominent young face in the Hanoi Club shirt and was also chosen by the Organizing Committee as the Best Young Player of V.League 2020 based on V.League Awards.

Vietnam Golden Ball Award 2020There will be 6 award categories including: Men's Golden Ball, Women's Golden Ball, Futsal Golden Ball, Best Foreign Player, Young Male Player and Best Young Female Player (under 21 years old).
