MC Lai Van Sam sends 'apology' to coach Park Hang-seo

After the 2-1 victory of the Vietnamese team over the Philippines team in the second leg of the 2018 AFF Cup semi-final, MC Lai Van Sam happily sent his congratulations to coach Park Hang-seo and his team.

"Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Park Hang-seo, I love you very much. You deserve to be a respectable citizen of my country," MC Lai Van Sam wrote.

In the comment section below, Lai Bac Hai Dang's son humorously commented on the incident where MC Lai Van Sam told coach Park to "look secretive" when he first returned to Vietnam. Immediately after that, the veteran MC unexpectedly asked his son to apologize to the Korean coach and said that he currently "loves" Mr. Park Hang-seo very much for what he has done for Vietnamese football.

The victory of the Vietnamese team on the evening of December 6 officially brought coach Park Hang-seo and his team closer to the AFF Cup championship this year. After the match ended, Facebook was flooded with congratulatory messages sent to the Vietnamese team, especially the Korean coach.

On his personal page, BTV Quang Minh also sent his thanks to Mr. Park Hang-seo for what he has done: "Thank you Mr. Park, thank you to the Vietnamese team, you deserve to receive the full love of the whole country. There are 2 matches left, you guys keep going like that, don't underestimate the enemy, don't be subjective, the whole country is with you. You are the ones who change history, you are the ones who connect love, you are heroes".

He also humorously posted a photo with coach Park Hang-seo with the comment that men like Mr. Park are currently loved by many women.

"Now you guys like old, bald men, right? From tomorrow I will dress up to look old, shave my head, and apply anti-hair growth medicine," MC Quang Minh joked.

Sports commentator Quang Huy also shared that he was very happy to have "read" coach Park's moves very well when reporting the match, from how to deal with diagonal passes to the far post to the amazing substitutions to stabilize the midfield area and then destroy the Philippines' slow-moving defense in the final minutes.

"Thank you Mr. Park Hang-seo, who always brings a feeling of excitement and makes the commentators have a pleasant headache to understand what he is doing," commentator Quang Huy wrote on his personal page.

On his personal page, commentator Truong Anh Ngoc commented that Coach Park is a good person, possessing all the important factors to help the Vietnamese team win. “After 10 years, we are in the AFF Cup final again. It is true that the 10-year cycle has repeated itself. That is the time when a new generation of talented players is born, and there is a good coach who possesses all the important factors to lead us to success. We will meet Malaysia in the final, and certainly those will be two extremely difficult matches, even more difficult than the two semi-final matches with the Philippines."
