Give Bui Tien Dung back to football!
It was thought that the noisy story of the U23 Vietnam goalkeeper after returning from the U23 Asian Cup had ended, but now it has been brought up again. And it seems that the "war" using Tien Dung's image seems to be pushing the Thanh Hoa goalkeeper into a difficult position.
From the story at Thong Nhat Stadium
The excellent performance at the U23 Asian Cup has truly turned the U23 team in general and Tien Dung in particular into new idols of Vietnamese fans, as well as the dream of many young girls.
In the excitement of that victory, it was clear that not everyone knew who Tien Dung was before, or what he was like if they rarely watched youth football, and had never been to the field when this goalkeeper was in the U19, then U20 and now U23 Vietnam teams.

| Along with many other teammates, the goalkeeper from Thanh Hoa is the dream of many girls. |
And even when he became an idol to many people, it seemed that the information about Bui Tien Dung that had appeared everywhere in the media was no longer new, but everyone was wrong.
A very clear example was when at the exchange session at Thong Nhat Stadium on February 4, a girl who idolized Tien Dung asked a question that made many people gasp, and also made this goalkeeper "pause" a bit before answering very honestly. And the question was simple: What does your family do?
The question is not wrong, Tien Dung is also very straightforward, just hesitant about one thing: It turns out, idols are sometimes just "liked, then idolized", and the story of what they do and how they play football turns out to be secondary.
And surely, Tien Dung, at his age of 21, will more or less understand the story: He is idolized, perhaps more on the surface than from the U23 Asian Cup finals with this goalkeeper's unbelievable performance.
Please give Tien Dung back to football
As stated before, the reason why Tien Dung suddenly gained attention and caused controversy in recent days must have started from football. And therefore, let’s return Tien Dung to where he belongs – football.
If there was no football, no one would know who this goalkeeper was. Even if Thanh Hoa Club hadn't found him, I'm afraid Tien Dung would probably be doing another job like many young people in the countryside.

| But Tien Dung should remember that, to have an image like this... |
Therefore, the most important job of this goalkeeper now must be more professional than making money, when this is not the time. It is even more necessary with the hypothesis that Tien Dung is not in good form and sits on the bench, even disappears like many young talents in Vietnam in recent years, what then?
Making money or using one's image is a legitimate job, but surely now people want to see a Tien Dung who is number 1 in Thanh Hoa, number 1 in the Vietnam national team, or the Olympics more than a Tien Dung stepping into showbiz (although it's not a bad thing if this goalkeeper does well like in the recent U23 Asian Cup).

| ...comes from football, and nothing else. |
Affirming his expertise, Tien Dung will certainly still be a big enough brand to earn a lot of money, but more sustainably instead of rushing into the adult's fight like now. If you don't believe this, just ask Cong Vinh, or a series of seniors who came before him.
Even if he is talented in both economic management and his talent, surely when his career ends, Tien Dung will be a billionaire like the previous U23 Vietnam goalkeepers Nguyen The Anh, Duong Hong Son... for example.
21 years old is too young to think about money, go back to your passion Tien Dung, football has never been that cruel...
