According to the newspaper, on the afternoon of March 31, the Vietnam national team returned home after finishing the second qualifying round of the 2018 World Cup. However, among the 22 players and coaching staff returning to Tan Son Nhat Airport (HCMC), Le Cong Vinh was not included. According to the investigation, Cong Vinh changed his flight schedule from Doha (Qatar) to Thailand to take care of personal matters, specifically filming a commercial with his wife Thuy Tien. Not only was there a private issue related to the advertising contract, but Cong Vinh also clarified the misunderstanding between him and Anh Duc to the public.

Cong Vinh's Facebook post today shows his indignation and raises many questions for the author of the article. |
Faced with many issues that have gone too far beyond the imagination of the Nghe An striker. On his personal Facebook, Le Cong Vinh affirmed: "I don't think a big newspaper like this would not research carefully before posting news, and moreover, violate the law and infringe on personal privacy without my consent, but publish my personal work email and the club's leadership, even the amount of my advertising contract?
There are two problems
- The first:Please find the recording of me mentioning the two words Anh Duc in my interview answer or not? Because when I answered the interview, there were many reporters from radio stations and media nationwide. Or the press themselves speculated that I was being sarcastic and putting words in my mouth as if I had commented on my teammates like that, which affected me all this time.
-Monday:I did not go to Thailand to film an advertisement on my own initiative as this newspaper wrote. Before going to Thailand, I emailed the club to ask for permission and received the club's consent to let me take 1 day off (actually 1 training session at the same level) for personal reasons before I left.
In the labor contract I signed with any club, players have the right to take at least 7 days off a year for important personal matters, so the fact that I took 1 day off according to the labor contract, the club must be responsible for me. I think there is nothing serious for your newspaper to write about it on half a page, making a fuss and causing serious misunderstanding that I work unprofessionally.
Furthermore, this is an email between me and the club's leadership, why does the newspaper have it?
I am a professional player and have fulfilled my responsibilities to the club as stated in the signed contract, so I also request that my personal rights be respected by the newspaper and the club.
I hope the press writes the truth!”
