Vietnam national team striker makes strong breakthrough, Golden Ball race is intense

In the make-up match of round 1 of V-League 2023 - 2024 on November 24, Hanoi FC came to Binh Duong Stadium with great pressure, because the capital team had lost all 2 matches in the first season. The task of gaining points became even more difficult from the end of the first half, when coach Dinh The Nam's team had to play with 10 players because Vu Tien Long received a second yellow card.

When it seemed that the hope of finding the first win in V-League 2023 - 2024 was almost gone, Pham Tuan Hai spoke up at the right time. Tuan Hai's star moment, with a long-range shot from about 60 meters away, helped Hanoi FC win 3 full points away from home, against Binh Duong, who were very excited after 2 consecutive wins at the beginning of the season.

Tuan Hai's goal is of special significance to Hanoi FC. Not just 3 points, this victory also helps the capital team avoid sinking deeper into crisis, relieve psychological pressure and promptly return to the V-League race. "The whole team has gone through difficult matches. In the previous two matches, we did not have any points in the V-League, so this victory is very important in the upcoming journey of the team", Tuan Hai expressed.

However, this goal alone speaks to the brilliance of Tuan Hai and the importance of this 1998-born striker to the Hanoi Club. The masterpiece from the home field is just a worthy reward for the tireless efforts of the Vietnamese national team striker. When the capital team still had enough players and played an attacking game to pressure Binh Duong, Tuan Hai was the best player. When coach Dinh The Nam's team played with 10 players, Tuan Hai was still the most prominent name with his perseverance and diligence in both attack and defense. Tuan Hai's 10-point performance in the dramatic victory of Hanoi Club over Binh Duong Club is just a representative image of Tuan Hai's brilliance throughout the journey of the capital team.

Not far away, in the last match of Hanoi FC before the V-League took a break to make way for FIFA Days last November, Tuan Hai also shone brightly. The 25-year-old striker scored a double to help Hanoi FC win a spectacular 2-1 comeback victory over Wuhan Three Towns in the AFC Champions League. After 4 matches in this top Asian club competition, Tuan Hai has contributed 3 goals.

Tuan Hai is improving and becoming more excellent. He is a mainstay and will continue to be an indispensable factor of Hanoi FC in the future. Not only at the club level, the striker born in 1998 is also a face that Coach Troussier has great confidence in in the national team. Tuan Hai's serious attitude, strong physique, and dedicated training and playing style are qualities that the French coach loves very much. The "White Wizard" can put many other stars on the bench, but up to now, Tuan Hai is still given the opportunity to play regularly in the Vietnam national team.

With his excellent performance, Tuan Hai is considered one of the candidates for the 2023 Vietnam Golden Ball award. The competition for the most prestigious individual title for a player promises to continue to be fierce.
