VietNamNet Bridge – Forward Nguyen Anh Duc has been selected as one of the Asia XI of November 2017 by Football Tribe, a website specialising in continental football.

Football Tribe’s best Asia XI of November.

Describing the Vietnamese player, the website wrote: “The 32-year-old was a bright spot for a Binh Duong side that had little to cheer about this season. With his brilliant positioning and clever finishing, Nguyen scored five goals in three November matches, including a hat trick on the final day, to finish as the V-League’s top scorer.

Duc scored 17 goals in total in this year’s season. The captain of Becamex Binh Duong secured a berth in the national team despite his age and after nearly three years’ absence.

Standing together with him in the front line is Jay Bothroyd of Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo and Obafemi Martins of Shanghai Shenhua.

Football Tribe also selected Vander Luiz of Chiangrai United and Kengo Nakamura from Kawasaki Frontale as attacking midfielders.

Son Jun-ho of Pohang Steelers and Server Djeparov of Esteghlal took the role of central midfielders.

The defenders were Kim Jin-su and Choi Chul-soon of Jeonbuk Motors and Jalal Hosseini from Persepolis.

Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo’s Gu Sung-yun was selected goalkeeper.
