Dang Van Lam and Que Ngoc Hai: The more they argue, the closer they become

Not long ago, it was Van Lam who was most worried about Ngoc Hai when the central defender from Nghe An lost his official Facebook account: "My friend is so unlucky. Hai's Facebook was just hacked! Please be careful with bad behavior! When Hai gets his Facebook back, I will let everyone know! Thank you."

Van Lam and Que Hai are like two peas in a pod off the field. On the bus or at the airport, Hai and Lam always sit next to each other. That close relationship is the factor that helps them understand each other and has greatly contributed to the strength of the Vietnamese national team's solid defense in this tournament.

The defense line that Hai and Lam formed along the axis was running smoothly when suddenly there was a little problem.

In the 79th minute of the match between Vietnam and the Philippines, the Vietnamese defense had a situation where they were not really in sync. Right after catching the ball, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam got angry with center back Que Ngoc Hai. Hai "Que" also responded with an unhappy face and quite fierce words.

That reaction made many people feel worried at the hottest moment of the match. They were afraid that Van Lam would have a rift in his relationship that would affect the team's playing style.

The reaction of the two players is actually understandable. Although they are in a better position than the visiting team Philippines, just a small mistake will cost Vietnam dearly with a goal. No one can predict what will happen if the opposing team continues to press the field when the home team's spirit is down and they score another goal.

But to tell the truth, since the beginning of the tournament, the defensive system Mr. Park has built for the Vietnamese team in this tournament has played as hard as a rock, there shouldn't have been such lack of concentration.

Van Lam's angry reaction was actually just to urge his teammates in the defense line to concentrate, when the match was in a very dangerous stalemate. Explaining to the fans: "We just want to help each other concentrate more. It's not a big deal, everyone!" - Que Ngoc Hai shared on his personal page after having doubts after the incident on the field.

As for Van Lam, he also relieved fans' worries by posting a picture of the two of them hugging each other warmly with smiles on their lips and the short caption: "For one goal".

In this match, both Van Lam and Ngoc Hai continued to play excellently with the Vietnamese defense, making the away team's strikers frustrated for most of the match. They only got 1 goal back at the end of the match after conceding 2 goals after Quang Hai and Cong Phuong scored.

In particular, Que Ngoc Hai, captain of the Vietnamese national team, responded to criticism from some media channels that he did not play well in the first leg with a brilliant performance in this second leg.

No victory is 100% perfect. So the story between Van Lam and Ngoc Hai is ultimately just about their responsibility to the team. It is essentially just a normal story of men. Never holding grudges, ready to argue once and for all, and the more they argue, the closer they become.
