Tran Phi Son in Top 5 Vietnam Golden Ball 2017

(Baonghean.vn) - According to the latest information, the list of Top 5 candidates for the 2017 Vietnam Golden Ball has been voted. Among them, midfielder Tran Phi Son is on the list and Nguyen Cong Phuong is not on the list.

Accordingly, the Top 5 Golden Ball Awards 2017 include: Nguyen Anh Duc (Binh Duong Club), Nguyen Quang Hai (Hanoi Club), Tran Phi Son (SLNA Club), Dinh Thanh Trung (Quang Nam Club) and Luong Xuan Truong (Gangwon Club - National Team).

With this shortlist, it is likely that the person receiving the most votes for the 2017 Vietnam Golden Ball award will be midfielder Dinh Thanh Trung of Quang Nam Club. In the 2017 season, the midfielder from Ha Tinh was the pioneer in the Quang Nam team's V.League championship.

And so, the Silver Ball position will be a competition between midfielder Tran Phi Son (SLNA) and striker Nguyen Anh Duc (B. Binh Duong). However, Phi Son is holding a big advantage because the player born in 1992 is the current champion of the 2017 National Cup. In terms of other criteria, the midfielder from Nghe An is also holding a big advantage.

It is not surprising that striker Nguyen Cong Phuong was left out of the Top 5. Because the Nghe An striker's club HAGL did not leave much of an impression and success in the 2017 season. The remaining faces are all very worthy thanks to the votes of prestigious sports reporters in the country.

In the best young male player award, Nguyen Quang Hai (Hanoi FC), Phan Thanh Hau (HAGL FC) and Doan Van Hau (Hanoi FC) will compete. The 2017 Vietnam Golden Ball Award Gala is scheduled to take place on the evening of January 2, 2018.
