What do you see from the list of nominations for the Vietnam Golden Ball 2019?
(Baonghean.vn) - Yesterday (December 16), the Organizing Committee of the 2019 Vietnam Golden Ball Awards announced the list of 25 nominated players. Tran Nguyen Manh, Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Trong Hoang and Nguyen Cong Phuong are the 5 faces from Nghe An receiving the above honor.
This information is not surprising to experts and football fans in the country, because the 5 players mentioned above are all faces with excellent performance this season. Objectively evaluated, they completely deserve to be in the list of 25 nominees, with their impressive performances.
However, despite having so many nominated players, the possibility of the 2019 Vietnam Golden Ball award belonging to Nghe An is not really high. Simply, none of them have played well in both the club and the national team, like the cases of Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Quang Hai, Doan Van Hau...

Obviously, compared to Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Quang Hai and Doan Van Hau, the individual achievements of the 5 faces from Nghe An are not as impressive. Remember, the 3 players of Hanoi Club have just helped the home team win the V.League 2019, win the National Cup 2019, reach the inter-regional final at AFC Cup 2019, and have also successfully completed their tasks in the colors of U22 Vietnam (SEA Games 30) and the Vietnam National Team (Asian Cup 2019, World Cup 2022 qualifiers).

Almost certainly, the Vietnam Golden Ball award this year is only an internal competition between players of Hanoi Club. Nghe An football fans will have to wait a few more years for the 7th Golden Ball to belong to a hometown player./.
