Asian Newspaper: "V-League is too small for Quang Hai"
Famous Fox Sports journalist Scott McIntyre believes it is time for Quang Hai to move to a football environment with a higher level than V-League.
The story surrounding the future of midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai has become a topic that has received a lot of attention, not only from the domestic press but also from the international media.
One of Fox Sports' famous journalists, Scott McIntyre, frankly stated that V-League is no longer a playground worthy of Quang Hai's talent and he should move to another environment to develop his career.
"With excellent individual skills, versatile playing ability and a steady mentality in big matches, Quang Hai is one of the brightest talents not only in Southeast Asia but also in all of Asia. However, we are not talking about a player who is 16 or 17 years old. Quang Hai will turn 22 early next year, and he is already a bright star of the Vietnam national team."
"The truth is that all the teams that intend to transfer Quang Hai come from tournaments at a higher level than V-League. And the players of Hanoi Club have all the qualities to shine in these foreign tournaments. That is also what Quang Hai needs for his development: to practice and play in an environment at a higher level than V-League."

Quang Hai's future receives much attention from the international press. |
"With two big tournaments ahead, the AFF Cup 2018 and Asian Cup 2019, Quang Hai will have more opportunities to shine even brighter. And certainly the Hanoi FC Board of Directors will have a headache because the list of teams wanting Quang Hai will increase many times over."
"Vietnam has a generation of young players with great potential. Besides Quang Hai, there are at least 5 or 6 other Vietnamese players who are capable of playing at the continental level. We can point out a few names such as Vu Van Thanh or Nguyen Cong Phuong. They are all the best young talents in Asian football."
After his brilliant performance for the U23 and Olympic Vietnam national teams, Quang Hai has caught the attention of many scouts from famous football teams. Many clubs from Japan, Thailand and Qatar have expressed their desire to have the services of this midfielder born in 1997. However, the Hanoi FC management affirmed that Quang Hai's future will only be decided after the end of the season.
If he is transferred to one of the top football countries in Asia to compete, Quang Hai's career will certainly take a huge step forward.
