Tip the referee

Also in the match Nhi dong Dien Chau - Nhi dong Do Luong, young referee Nguyen Ba Manh (born in 2003) encountered a funny situation when an old lady sitting close to the field kept waving her hand. Even though the field was very noisy and the ball situations happened continuously, the old lady still patiently waved her hand to call the referee.

While reminding the fans to stay away from the net, referee Ba ​​Manh approached her to see what she wanted to say. This situation made other spectators on the field curious, focusing on the old lady, some guessed that she wanted to point out the mistakes of the opposing team's players, some thought that she was "instructing" the referee... When she saw that the referee had paid attention to her, the old lady pointed at the players and said something. After saying that, she returned to her position and continued cheering with everyone.

“The field was so noisy that I couldn’t hear what she was saying. Time was tight on the field so I couldn’t ask again. This is the first time in my life that I’ve encountered this situation,” referee Nguyen Ba Manh laughed, sharing after the match.

Accompanying the Youth - Children Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup for the second time, Manh said that the interesting thing about this tournament is that it is for children so there are innocent situations that are completely different from other tournaments.

Mr. Son

The topic that everyone was most concerned about today was the health of coach Tran Van Son.

Although his health was not good, because he did not want to miss his players' match, this coach asked the doctors for permission to go out for a while in the early afternoon to accompany the players.Do Luong Children's School.

- Because the hospital does not allow him to stay for long, after watching the match, Mr. Son had to return to the hospital immediately. Recently, he asked to watch Thieu Nien Do Luong play, but I did not agree - a fan who is a colleague of Mr. Son shared.

- He is a very dedicated and responsible person towards his students, so he is loved and respected by everyone. No matter how windy or sunny it is, he still goes to the field regularly and helps his students closely - a parent shared.

- Both Mr. Son and his wife are very kind and good-natured. Recently, seeing his health getting worse, everyone feels sorry for him. The parents' association is discussing going to visit him - another parent added.
