For nearly ten years, Nguyễn Quang Hải has been a symbol of talent and ambition in Vietnamese football. Yet ironically, the "hero of Thường Châu" has never fully regained his dazzling former image.
Since winningthe 2018 Vietnamese Golden Ball, Quang Hải has only left faint impressions in the voting lists of subsequent years.
He once earnedthe bronze ball in 2017andtwo silver balls (2019, 2021), which wereproofs of his class and consistency at that time.
