Binh Phuoc Club expects Cong Phuong
The 2023-2024 first division season brought regrets to Binh Phuoc Club. Despite competing for promotion with PVF-CAND until the final rounds, coach Nguyen Anh Duc's team could not break away to second place.
Binh Phuoc's attack scored 28 goals in 20 matches in the first division last season, ranking third in the list of most effective scoring teams. However, in matches that needed to be won, such as the two matches against PVF-CAND, or the match against Ninh Binh in the penultimate round, Binh Phuoc failed to score and could not win.

That is, coach Nguyen Anh Duc's students can "shoot" very evenly in easy matches, but when facing tough opponents, or in must-win matches, Binh Phuoc's strikers reveal their weakness in experience.
Therefore, when striker Nguyen Cong Phuong's contract with Yokohama FC expired, Binh Phuoc FC seized the opportunity to bring him back. Technical director Yusuke Adachi's team understood that to compete for promotion with PVF-CAND or Ninh Binh, Binh Phuoc FC needed a top striker who could ensure scoring efficiency and possess a solid foundation of experience.
Cong Phuong promises to bring fighting spirit to Binh Phuoc Club. The goal in his debut match shows that the striker born in 1995 has regained his confidence. When his physical strength and ball feeling return, Cong Phuong is still one of the best attacking players with comprehensive finishing, dribbling, and long-range shooting skills. The desire to prove himself after 2 years as a reserve in Japan is also the springboard for Cong Phuong to explode this season.
Accompanying Cong Phuong in Binh Phuoc team are Ho Sy Giap, Ho Tuan Tai, Le Thanh Binh... in which Tuan Tai and Thanh Binh used to be with Cong Phuong in U.23 Vietnam. This is a strong enough attack line for Binh Phuoc to dream big.
Ninh Binh Club is full of stars
Ninh Binh Club is the team that spends the most money in the first division, bringing in a completely new force to serve the promotion goal.
With a huge contract, coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team brought in the reigning Vietnamese Golden Ball Nguyen Hoang Duc to strengthen the midfield. In the forward line, Ninh Binh Club also brought in "youth tournament king" Nguyen Quoc Viet, alongside the duo Le Minh Binh and Dinh Thanh Binh who used to play for HAGL.

In addition to the above players, Ninh Binh also has a "supply" force worth watching, with Pham Van Thanh (former player of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City teams), Pham Trong Hoa (former player of Vietnam U.19 team), or Mach Ngoc Ha. Compared to the promotion candidates, Ninh Binh Club is the team with the most balanced attack and defense, harmonizing youth and experience.
However, the problem with Ninh Binh team is that the force is too new, including players who are playing together for the first time. Will they have enough cohesion to create a strong team?
In football, many stars do not necessarily create a strong team. The ability to "command troops" of the coaching staff, connect and bond is the "glue" that forms a formidable team. With many new players, Ninh Binh Club needs time to take shape.
The power of PVF-CAND
PVF-CAND Club is the other bright candidate for promotion. With a core of young players, coach Mauro Jeronimo's team this season welcomes Martin Lo, Le Ngoc Bao, Ryan Ha, Nguyen Xuan Nam to strengthen their experience base.
PVF-CAND Club is a strong candidate
PVF-CAND is considered to have a modern, youthful and scientific playing style, but the lack of experienced players has caused the team "based" in Hung Yen to always fall at the decisive moment. With young stars having had another year to accumulate and a class of quality seniors, PVF-CAND Club will be very different this season.
Coach Jeronimo's attack line includes Nguyen Thanh Nhan, a player who was brought back from Tay Ninh by Philippe Troussier, then played for the U.23 and Vietnam national teams. Besides that, there is Xuan Nam, the top scorer of the first division in the 2019 season, and striker Tran Ngoc Son, brought back from Nam Dinh. The midfield with Nguyen Duc Phu, Thai Ba Dat, Huynh Cong Den... is the core for the PVF-CAND team to compete this season.
Although not many stars, PVF-CAND has smooth and cohesive playing style. Mr. Jeronimo's team will fight to not miss the promotion ticket again.
