Commentator Anh Ngoc: ‘Quang Hai does not deserve to win the Silver Ball 2019’

In the recent Golden Ball Gala 2019, Do Hung Dung won this noble title in a very worthy way. Quang Hai won the Silver Ball with 118 points less, Trong Hoang finished third with the title of Bronze Ball.

Quang Hai was unable to successfully defend his title and accepted second place. However, according to Truong Anh Ngoc, the midfielder was not worthy of the silver ball as his younger brother Doan Van Hau, the player did not reach the top 3.

The veteran coach shared on Football Reaction: "In my opinion, in 2019, Hai is not as outstanding as in 2018. In 2018, Quang Hai played equally, exploding like a star from the beginning to the end of the year on all fronts at national team and club levels.

It was a year Hai made a great impression, even considered a symbol of Vietnamese football. But Quang Hai of 2019 seems to start slowly and it will not be emerging until later.

A lot of experts think that Hai has played too many games in 2018, so in 2019, Hai will not need the ball anymore. A player who does not need the ball anymore is overloaded. I am very sorry because Hai is still young.

In fact, in V.League, Hai was voted the best player but I disagree with this. Personally, I think the best V.League 2019 must be Van Quyet. If he has not booked red cards, Van Quyet would have been probably the one who deserved this title more.”

Before the award ceremony took place, Anh Ngoc also supported Hung Dung to win the Golden Ball, Doan Van Hau won the Silver Ball. However, the results were not in line with this expert's prediction when Doan Van Hau could not be in the top 3 best players. The 21-year-old defender can still be proud to have won the Young Player of the Year for the third time in a row.
