Overview of player transfers before V.League 2019
(Baonghean.vn) - At this stage, football teams in V.League are actively recruiting to prepare for the new 2019 season.
The group goes a lot - comes a lot
It is quite surprising that Quang Nam is one of the teams with the most personnel changes. Up to now, the Tam Ky home team has successfully recruited Nguyen Anh Hung, Dinh Viet Tu, Le Duc Loc, Dao Duy Khanh, Nguyen Hoang Quoc Chi... In the opposite direction, Quang Nam also sent off Nguyen Ngoc Nguyen, Dao Van Phong, Nguyen Van Hau and the foreign duo Tardin - Oliveira.
It is no surprise that the next team is B. Binh Duong. In the 2019 season, coach Tran Minh Chien and his team will participate in 3 arenas (V.League, National Cup and AFC Cup), so they must have a squad rich in depth. After saying goodbye to 2 foreign players, Ali Rabo and Udoka, the team from Thu Dau Mot has brought in Pham Van Tien, Tran Huu Dong Trieu from HAGL, Vo Hoang Quang from Saigon, Pham Van Thuan from Nam Dinh and foreign player Wande Luiz from XSKT Can Tho.

Not far behind Quang Nam and HAGL is Saigon FC. Along with saying goodbye to a series of key players such as Vo Hoang Quang, Nguyen Tien Duy, Mai Thanh Nam, Le Hoang Thien, Sylva, Ogunjimi... the Thong Nhat Stadium team also brought in quality players. Currently, Saigon FC has the services of Le Quoc Phuong, Trinh Quang Vinh, Ngo Xuan Toan...
Ho Chi Minh City FC has also just said goodbye to a series of players such as Au Van Hoan, Truong Dinh Luat, Dinh Xuan Viet, Dang Van Robert, Vu Anh Tuan and foreign player Santos. Replacing the above faces are Le Hoang Thien, Nguyen Thanh Thang, Vo Ly, Dang Quang Huy. Most likely, the recruitment process of Ho Chi Minh City FC will continue until right before the start of the new season.
Group go more - come less
Nam Dinh is the team with the most players leaving. Roughly, it is almost a squad (about 10 people). In addition to the foreign striker pair Pereira - Romario, the team at Thien Truong Stadium also could not keep Nguyen Quoc Thien Esele, Dinh Viet Tu, Pham Van Thuan, Nguyen Huu Quy. Not to mention, Le Sy Minh, Le Ngoc Nam, Nguyen Trong Phi... are in the process of negotiating with many other teams. The team at Thien Truong Stadium is facing a personnel crisis.
Similar to Nam Dinh is the case of SLNA. The Nghe An team said goodbye to Dau Thanh Phong, Nguyen Van Manh, Ngo Xuan Toan, Le Quang Dai and Que Ngoc Hai.

The next name in this group is FLC Thanh Hoa. The announcement by FLC Group that it will no longer continue to accompany Thanh Hoa football has put the Thanh team in a very difficult situation. Recently, FLC Thanh Hoa has had to say goodbye to many key players, such as Nguyen Thanh Thang, Le Quoc Phuong, Trinh Quang Vinh, Pape Omar, Nguyen Van Bakel, etc.
Hai Phong's situation is not much different from the three teams above. In recent days, Lach Tray Stadium has been the scene of many farewells between the home team and its players. Nguyen Anh Hung, Nguyen Viet Phong, Le Pham Thanh Long, Nguyen Thanh Dong, Pham Hoang Nam, Nguyen Van Phong have left Lach Tray Stadium for various reasons. At this time, Hai Phong has only signed Dau Thanh Phong and is currently testing Nguyen Van Manh.
Low volatility group
The number of teams in this group is the largest (Sanna Khanh Hoa, Hanoi, Than Quang Ninh, HAGL, Viettel, SHB Da Nang). Surprisingly, the V.League champion - Hanoi is present. Up to now, the Hang Day team has only had 1 new player, Pape Omar (FLC Thanh Hoa). On the other hand, Hanoi only let defender Dao Quoc Khanh transfer to Quang Nam.

The same is true for HAGL. The mountain town team has also been quite quiet in the transfer market, similar to the past seasons. The most notable new recruit is central defender Pham Hoang Lam, from the First Division team Long An. On the other hand, Pleiku Stadium has said goodbye to Pham Van Tien, Tran Huu Dong Trieu (B.Binh Duong) and the foreign duo Josip - Osmar.
Surprisingly, up to now, teams like Than Quang Ninh, S. Khanh Hoa, SHB Da Nang and especially rookie Viettel, still appear "calm" in strengthening personnel for the 2019 season. SHB Da Nang has not recruited any more players, while S. Khanh Hoa, Viettel and Than Quang Ninh only have a few new contracts.
In terms of financial potential, these are all teams with “good money” in V.League. Perhaps, they are satisfied with the current squad or do not want to buy players when the new season is still more than 3 months away./.

What are V.League stars doing while AFF Cup 2018 is taking place?
(Baonghean.vn) - The top players in V.League who were not called up by Coach Park Hang-seo to participate in AFF Cup 2018 all have different ways of enjoying their days off. Many of them participate in grassroots football tournaments and charity matches before returning to prepare for V.League 2019.
