Trong Hoang shares about the 2019 Vietnam Bronze Ball award
(Baonghean.vn) - In the past, Trong Hoang won the title of Best Young Player of Vietnam 2009, Silver Ball of Vietnam 2011 and most recently Bronze Ball of Vietnam 2019. Although only behind Hung Dung and Quang Hai, Trong Hoang considers this a great honor as he is already 30 years old.
At the 2019 Vietnam Golden Ball Awards Ceremony, midfielder Do Hung Dung won the highest position (428 points), followed by Nguyen Quang Hai (310 points) and Nguyen Trong Hoang (154 points).
Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper reporters about the 2019 Vietnam Golden Ball awards, Trong Hoang said: "Hung Dung is very deserving of what he has shown and contributed to the Hanoi Club, the Vietnam U22 Team and the National Team. He is an example for many players to follow and learn from.
As for Quang Hai, he also contributed a lot to the success of Vietnamese football in 2019, in the U22, U23 and national team jerseys. At the club level, Quang Hai is also very outstanding. Therefore, Quang Hai is very worthy of receiving the Silver Ball. In addition, the Vietnamese national team has many other excellent players such as Van Hau, Van Toan, Ngoc Hai...
Being able to contribute to the team, whether it is U22 Vietnam or the national team, is a great honor. For me, in the Viettel Club shirt, I have not made many significant contributions. Therefore, the Bronze Ball award is also a great encouragement for me. This award will be a great source of encouragement for me to try hard in 2020."

Having to "sit around and do nothing" during the first leg of V.League 2019, Nguyen Trong Hoang lost ground to Do Hung Dung and Nguyen Quang Hai in the race for the Vietnamese Golden Ball last year. On the other hand, Viettel Club was just a rookie last season, so their club-level titles were not comparable to those of Hanoi players.
In case the player born in 1989 decided to join Viettel earlier and the army team won a higher position in last year's season, the owner of the 2019 Vietnam Golden Ball would have found it difficult to escape the player from Nghe An.
Former Hanoi FC vice coach Van Sy Son shared: "With what they showed in the 2019 season, Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Trong Hoang are very worthy of the titles just awarded.

In the case of Nguyen Trong Hoang, I think he is also satisfied with the Bronze Ball award, because in the club's shirt, Hoang did not really stand out like Do Hung Dung and Nguyen Quang Hai. Hoang even missed half of the season due to procedural issues."
In any case, the Bronze Ball award is also a recognition of Trong Hoang's positive contributions to the national team and U22 Vietnam. With an award voted by votes across the country, it is difficult to have absolute certainty and in a year of great success, any player who wins the Golden Ball is worthy.
Currently, Nguyen Trong Hoang is 31 years old, an age that is no longer in good shape for most Vietnamese players. However, with a talented player, possessing a strong physical foundation and a healthy lifestyle like Hoang "cow", the chance of winning the Vietnam Golden Ball award in the future is not small./.
