Ho Chi Minh City club bought midfielder Alex Lima playing in the MLS 8 years
Ho Chi Minh City closed the list of foreign players with midfielder Alex Lima for 8 years playing the American Professional League (MLS) although he will not be able to play AFC Cup until May.
8-year-experience midfielder playing MLS Lima will play for Ho Chi Minh City Club in V-League 2020.
The HCMC club has just completed the registration process for striker Alex Monteitro de Lima, also known Alex, moved from Anyang FC club in K-Leauge 2.
The 31-year-old midfielder is relatively shaped (1,77meter) but has tactical vision and especially the left foot is very skillful. He has the ball handling phase or improvised finish inspired by Brazilian.
Training at Gremio Mauaense club (Brazil), Alex moved to FC Wohlen at the age of 20 in the Swiss league from 2008 to 2012 in 66 matches with 6 goals (1 season in FC Gossau, he scored 2 goals after 18 matches in the Swiss leagu).
In 2012, Alex moved to play in the American professional football league (MLS) with the Chicago Fire club in four seasons from 2012-2015. Here, he played a total of 76 matches scoring 3 goals.
From 2015-2017 he played for Houston Dynamo and scored 9 goals in 77 appearances. For the past 2 seasons, Alex has played in K-League 2 in Suwon FC and Anyang FC.
Thus, after losing Lee Nguyen, the Ho Chi Minh City Club also had a backup plan with another former MLS star Alex Lima. Of course, this profile could not be "as bright" as the overseas Vietnamese midfielder but somewhat met its ambition.
However, at the age of 31 and 12 years of experience playing in the Swiss and MLS leagues, Alex is expected to bring the quality of play and the professional training attitude to support the striker duo Cong Phuong - Amido Balde.
He is expected to help Ho Chi Minh City Club fill the gap in midfield after injury of captain Van Thuan. With the intelligence and skill of Alex Lima, HCMC club promises to be more explosive in the attack.
Thus, four foreign footballers of Ho Chi Minh City are Pape Diakite (Senegal), midfielder Alex Lima (Brazil), Seo Yong-duk (South Korea) and striker Amido Balde (Guinea-Bissau).
