Round 12 V.League 2024-2025 witnessed the debut of foreign soldiers Daniel Passira in Hanoi FC shirt. The striker attracted attention because before he came to Vietnam, he was the top scorer of the Bolivia National Championship (22 goals) and helped the San Antonio de Bulo Bulo team win the runner -up.
However, Passira had a disappointing performance on the day of the V.League. In the 27th minute, he missed the first chance when he shot out in the face to face goalkeeper Van Viet at close range.
Worth mentioning, in the 56th minute, despite overtaking the opponent's goalkeeper, Passira finished too light, so that the defender could back down the ball. These are just two of many situations that make Hanoi FC rookie receive many criticisms.
1 week ago, Thanh Hoa Club failed 0-3 to PSM Makassar in the C1 Cup of Southeast Asia. Except for the error of goalkeeper Xuan Hoang, striker Yago Ramos is considered the weakest link in the team of coach Popov.
This striker disputes poorly, awkward handling skills. Whenever the ball reached the foot, he often lost the ball after 1-2 beats. In attacks, Yago almost did not put pressure and was easily removed by the opponent defender. Many people joked that Thanh Hoa "accepted West" when Yago was used.
The above examples are a testament to the "alarming" foreign quality story in the V.League.
For example, Hanoi FC, over the past 5 years, the Capital team has registered to 30 foreign soldiers. But except for Pape Omar, Rimario and Moses, few of the rest impressed and no player scored more than 10 goals/season.
Particularly in the first leg of V.League 2024-2025, Hanoi FC soon replaced three foreign soldiers because the quality was not guaranteed to be Keziah, Chidi Kwem and Jaha. Particularly Keziah was liquidated after only 1 appearance. This shows the lack of effectiveness in the foreign selection of Hanoi FC for half a decade.
The Danang Club also recruited "bomb" this season. Before the first victory in the V.League, the Han River team was miserable because foreign soldiers did not know how to score. They had to replace three foreign players, Thiago Henrique, Cassio Sheid and Emerson Souza, where Yuri Mamute, Werick Caetano and Marlon.
This season, East Asia Thanh Hoa also recruited two new contracts, Ribamar and Igor Salatiel Silva. In particular, only Ribamar played well, the other person could not meet professional expectations.
Binh Duong Club has the same problem. They recruited Wellington Nem with a very beautiful CV, who used to play with Neymar in U17 Brazil. But only half of the season, this foreigner had to leave because it was impossible to meet physical requirements.
In recent seasons, the frequency of clubs to buy foreign soldiers has happened more. Many cases of players after returning to the trauma, poor quality or at least not suitable for the V.League playground.
And of course, the money that the teams spent is not small up to tens of billions of dong. Therefore, V.League also becomes the fertile ground of brokers.
