Duy Manh may receive another yellow card or red card for stepping on the opposing team's player's shoe. |
Talking about the controversial situation in the 33rd minute when Duy Manh stepped on Bruno, the Hanoi player affirmed: “In football, situations only happen in a moment. I think all players want to play well and no one wants to make a mistake. However, I will go back and watch the situation again to see how it happened. But if the referee decides that there is no mistake in that situation, that is the referee's final decision. And everyone must respect the referee's decision.”
On the afternoon of August 15, the Head of the VFF Referee Board - Duong Van Hien also affirmed: "The main referee was in a position with a favorable viewing angle. However, just a moment of distraction, the main referee did not detect the foul of player Duy Manh on player Bruno. This is truly a regrettable mistake by referee Ngo Duy Lan. Surely the Referee Board will have a form of punishment for this mistake."
Van Lam's return to Binh Dinh is a step backwards or a new step?
Finally, after much speculation, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam has signed a 3.5-year contract with Binh Dinh and returned to V.League after 3.5 years. Will this be a new step or a setback in Van Lam's career?

Wearing Binh Dinh's shirt, Van Lam has a wide open door to start, without having to struggle to compete for a position. |
Binh Dinh needed a strong goalkeeper to stand in the goal, so Van Lam was chosen. Of course, at the new team, Van Lam will not have as much difficulty as when he was at Muangthong Utd or Cerazo Osaka in competing for a position because Minh Hoang or Tuyen Quang are not highly rated. It turns out that the V.League front is the safe place for Van Lam's career, not the recent trips abroad!
