Why did Hung Dung beat Quang Hai in the Golden Ball award?

The effect of SEA Games 2019 and the mentality of prioritizing new things have helped Hung Dung surpass Quang Hai to become the new owner of the Vietnamese Golden Ball.

In the group of 5 final candidates for the Golden Ball award, Hung Dung and Quang Hai are the 2 most outstanding players. They both played almost the entire V.League, both played 15 matches in the Asian Cup, both participated in all official matches of the Vietnam team in 2019, both attended the SEA Games, both played in the midfield, a position that has a great influence on the whole team. Compared to the 3 remaining candidates Nguyen Van Quyet, Nguyen Trong Hoang and Doan Van Hau, their professional parameters are completely superior.

The midfielder born in 1997 suffered an injury in the middle of the SEA Games, he had to sit out the rest of the competition and gave up the captaincy to his senior. Hung Dung played extremely well in the following stages, helping the team overcome Thailand, crush Cambodia, and defeat Indonesia. Hung Dung himself even scored a goal in the final.

The SEA Games final took place on December 10. From December 16, ballots began to be sent to experts by the organizing unit. December 26 was the deadline for returning ballots. That voting time created a huge advantage for Hung Dung when the SEA Games effect was still spreading./.
