Coach Le Huynh Duc: Cong Vinh only told half the truth in his autobiography
According to coach Le Huynh Duc, Cong Vinh's statement is emotional and has no evidence. If his honor or money is violated, Huynh Duc will sue in court and not argue through the press like this.
"I should not have paid attention to this book because it has no meaning. Cong Vinh is a junior, he has lived and experienced so much that he wants to write an autobiography. He also talks too much about others. Is this Cong Vinh's autobiography or someone else's autobiography?", Huynh Duc asked when answering Lao Dong newspaper.
"However, I think the information Vinh said about me is sensitive. I don't care. Vinh just needs to ask himself, why are all the players on the team reacting so strongly to his book? On the team, I did my best. I consider Cong Vinh as a junior, so why should I hate him? If I met Cong Vinh, I would ask him "who is the witness to such things"?
"When Vinh writes his autobiography, he must reflect the exact time the story happened. I remember, in 2004, when Cong Vinh returned from Portugal (?), coach Henrique Calisto told me to let Cong Vinh practice freely. That means Vinh can go to the field to practice with his teammates, but if he wants to take a break from practice, it's okay too.
That was Mr. Calisto's directive and I just conveyed it. If you look at it from that perspective and context, there is no problem with what I said, and I do not mean to "hate" Vinh as he thought.
I just want to tell Vinh that his success is also the success of Vietnamese football. So those who have gone before like me or anyone else do not have any "jealousy" or "hate" towards Vinh.
But if in Vinh's previous life, he had no friends in the football world; or now, his memoir has received strong reactions, Vinh must look back at himself, why is that so?
