What did Mr. Hien say when Mr. Duc and Mr. Thang threatened to abandon V.League 2018?

During the past time, Mr. Duc and HAGL have always been a hot topic in the press surrounding the Chairman of HAGL Club's objection to Mr. Tran Anh Tu holding too many positions at VPF. Mr. Duc believes that Mr. Tu is an outsider but holds too many positions at VPF and VFF.

Mr. Duc and Mr. Thang are very close friends.

In order to put pressure on Mr. Tu, Mr. Duc threatened to quit football and let HAGL Club withdraw from the 2018 V.League. Along with that, Mr. Vo Quoc Thang of Long An Club, former president of the previous VPF, also announced that he would quit football because he was upset with the way the two organizations VFF and VPF worked.

Although the indignant statements of the two long-time bosses of Vietnamese football have some right and some wrong points, the majority of fans as well as experts want Mr. Duc and Mr. Thang to put aside their personal problems to continue contributing to and building Vietnamese football.

Recently, Mr. Hien also spoke up to advise Mr. Duc and Mr. Thang to continue to stick with Vietnamese football. Specifically, he said: "They are both passionate about football and have contributed a lot to football. I always hope that they will continue to stick with football, because I know they truly love football, and love cannot avoid stormy times."

It can be said that Mr. Hien is one of the most influential and successful bosses in Vietnamese football, having won 6 V.League championships. In addition, his youth training center is also very high quality, with "homegrown players" such as Quang Hai, Duy Manh, Van Hau, Dinh Trong... all being the backbone of the historic victory of the U23 Vietnam team at the recent 2018 Asian Cup.
