Korea's Osen newspaper expressed its disappointment when Kim Min-jae lost in this poll. The newspaper thinks that their players are much better than Quang Hai. In the quarterfinals of the poll, Quang Hai will face his teammate Cong Phuong. Earlier, Cong Phuong surpassed Japanese player Yuka Osako.

The 2019 Asian Cup is a tournament where Cong Phuong and Quang Hai both leave their own marks, helping the Vietnam reach the quarter-finals and only losing to the Japanese team with the minimum score. Fans will only be able to choose one of the two names to advance to the semi-finals.

This poll made many fans feel unfair. A fan named Mithun Vishnu said, "Why didn't Son Heung Min get into the final round? Is this a meaningless poll?" Meanwhile, a fan called Sagar Sajeev identified four players who will enter the semi-finals: Mabkhout, Chhetri, Beiravand and Quang Hai.
