Duy Manh: Tang Tien should give up his rough playing style for better football development

Sharing after the match, Duy Manh was upset: “That situation was very sensitive and dangerous. I think everyone can watch the video again. He kicked me straight in the leg. I was very angry and couldn’t control myself. Luckily I was able to control myself and my teammates stopped me.”

“After the match, Tang Tien met me privately to apologize. It’s football, I sympathize. For football to develop, I think he should give up his overly rough and unnecessary playing style. Situations like that will injure others and ruin others’ livelihoods,” Duy Manh affirmed.

On their side, Gia Lai also took action that night. Mr. Duc's instructions said that Tang Tien's foul was "unacceptable". The mountain town team decided not to register Tang Tien for the rest of the first leg and apologized to Duy Manh.

The collision with Tang Tien was also a rare time fans saw Duy Manh angry. The midfielder born in 1996 is famous for his calmness. He also explained the reason why HAGL players had many fierce plays:

“My friends and I on the other side of the HAGL front are very excited to wait for this match. They are determined and so are we. They are so tense probably because they have tried their best but were not successful. However, I always wish HAGL to be determined to compete and achieve high results in the future.”

Duy Manh said his injury is currently very painful. The midfielder will be examined by the Hanoi Club doctor soon to determine the exact level of danger.

This season, Duy Manh has started 3/4 matches for Hanoi FC. He is an important pillar of both the U23 Vietnam team and the Vietnam national team under coach Park Hang-seo.
