Tien Linh continues to confront foreign players

After the 6th round, Tien Linh is no longer the only one leading the list of top scorers. He currently has 6 goals, equal to Leonardo Artur of Hanoi Police Club. Although he has been caught up, Tien Linh's scoring efficiency is still very good: an average of 1 goal/match.

Tien Linh (middle) is regularly scoring goals for Binh Duong Club.

The common point between Tien Linh and Leonardo Artur is that they both scored 2 goals in the last round, and both missed 1 penalty. At the same time, both of them played better than they did in previous seasons.

As for Tien Linh, he is currently much better at finishing with his feet than he was before. In previous seasons, Tien Linh was highly regarded for his aerial ability. This season, he is still very good at aerial combat, scoring beautiful and important goals with his head, but besides that, he also has very beautiful goals scored with his feet.

Tien Linh's 2 goals in the match against HAGL in round 6 are proof that his finishing ability with his feet has improved: he ran to cut through the opponent's defenders before finishing with one touch to put the ball into the net.

Previously, in the National Cup qualifying match at Binh Dinh's stadium on October 20, Tien Linh also scored from a one-touch shot, after a pass from a corner kick by Vo Hoang Minh Khoa. Before that, in the 4th round of V-League on October 4, Tien Linh had an excellent flick over the head of goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang of Ho Chi Minh City Club, scoring for Binh Duong. These are all moves that demonstrate the good technique of a player playing on the offensive line.

Also related to the list of V-League 2024-2025 top scorers, after the 6th round, there are no more domestic strikers in the top 8. The domestic players closest to Tien Linh are the 2 players currently playing for Hanoi FC, Van Quyet and Hai Long. Based on the number of goals (each has only 2 goals) and the characteristics of the domestic players, it is difficult for them to squeeze into the top positions of the race. Specifically, Van Quyet is disadvantaged in terms of physique, not good at aerial combat, while Hai Long is not a striker.

Therefore, in this race, only Tien Linh will "struggle" among foreign players from now until the end of the season. The Binh Duong striker will certainly face many difficulties, but do not forget that he is the only Vietnamese player to have won the AFF Cup Top Scorer title (shared this title with Teerasil Dangda at the AFF Cup 2022, each scoring 6 goals in 8 matches).
