Fiorentina responds 'harshly' about buying Cong Phuong and Quang Hai

Success in regional and continental tournaments in the past year has made many Vietnamese fans expect that foreign football talents such as Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Cong Phuong, and Doan Van Hau can realize their dream of playing abroad in Europe.

However, in the Champion program, commentator Truong Anh Ngoc revealed the somewhat "harsh" answer of Fiorentina - the Serie A club that received the video introducing the cases of Quang Hai and Cong Phuong.

Cong Phuong and Quang Hai shine in the national team jersey.

"Europe is a completely different land, their professionalism, thinking and class are different." Commentator Anh Ngoc commented. "Regarding the video of Cong Phuong and Quang Hai, I showed it to the Fiorentina team leaders. I also asked Vicenzo Vergine, who is in charge of the entire Fiorentina youth training system worldwide."

"He said that if these two players return to Fiorentina, they will definitely not be able to make it to the first team, and even making it to the youth team is still a difficult story. When I asked about the solution, Vergine said that in these cases, he or a representative from Fiorentina must watch the match directly, not through video.

He assessed that Vietnamese players have potential, but to be able to have a transfer with a 1-year, 6-month or 3-year contract is almost impossible."
