Cong Phuong’s presence was a surprise, because in 2019, he almost failed at the club level.
Being summoned by coach Park Hang-seo and given the opportunity to compete in major tournaments such as the Asian Cup or the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Cong Phuong did not leave any significant mark.
Most of the remaining players on the nomination list are in high form and have made many contributions to their clubs or teams.
In the Best Young Player category, Doan Van Hau competes with Nguyen Hoang Duc, Huynh Tan Sinh, Thanh Thinh, Nguyen Van Toan and Tran Danh Trung.
The Vietnam Golden Ball Award is organized annually by Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, voted from 190 votes of football managers, executives, experts, coaches, captains of teams and clubs.
The awards will be announced on the evening of February 13, 2020.
