Many fans are indifferent to the accident of goalkeeper Nguyen Manh
(Baonghean.vn) - Along with the words of sharing and encouragement from fans, many fans expressed indifference towards the occupational accident of goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh.
In the 17th minute, in the match between Tampines Rover and SLNA in the AFC Cup that took place last night (February 10) on an artificial turf field, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh suffered a serious broken wrist after an unsuccessful high ball handling in the penalty area and landing incorrectly.

SLNA captain suffered a horrific broken arm in Singapore
(Baonghean.vn) - In the match against Tampines Rover in the group stage of the 2018 AFC Cup tonight (February 10), SLNA goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh suffered a serious injury.
Despite having a broken arm and being in a lot of pain, the SLNA captain still tried to get up and save the ball when his goal was in danger. Reserve goalkeeper Le Van Hung was sent onto the field and SLNA still won 2-0 against the Singaporean team.

Immediately after the injury, Nguyen Manh was taken to a hospital in Singapore. After the match ended, Mr. Ho Van Chiem - General Director and Head Coach Nguyen Duc Thang went straight to the hospital to assess the injury. Currently, Nguyen Manh's health and mental state are stable.
This morning (February 11), doctors will operate on his left arm. If the surgery is successful, the SLNA captain will also have to rest for a long time because the injury is considered very serious.

On Fox Sports' Fanpage, the clip of the incident that led to Nguyen Manh's injury was posted by the sports channel with the status: "Sensitive image, viewers should consider before watching. Hopefully goalkeeper Nguyen Manh will recover soon to return to competition."
However, along with the words of sharing and encouragement from fans, a group of fans were indifferent to the unfortunate accident of this former national player. Many people even repeated that mistake and a "war of words" broke out on social networks.
In the semi-final match of the AFF Cup 2016 between Vietnam and Indonesia, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, due to his limited height and miscalculation of the landing point, indirectly caused Dinh Dong to score an own goal before receiving a red card and leaving the field for a foul. It seems that a part of Vietnamese fans have not forgotten that defeat and continue to insult him indifferently.

A friend named Huy Hoang commented: “People are like that and yet there are people who can curse. Try putting yourself in Nguyen Manh’s shoes and then talk. People should have some sympathy for each other.”
“Unfortunately for Nguyen Manh, his entry and exit were not appropriate, leading to his injury. Wish Nguyen Manh a speedy recovery!”, “Bittersweet, SLNA had a convincing away win, but sad because of Nguyen Manh’s injury” are the comments of Nguyen Tri Thien and Nguyen Hao Quang.
Many fans are still worried about Nguyen Manh's career because for a goalkeeper, it is very difficult to return or regain form after such a serious hand injury. Tran Nguyen Manh was highly regarded by Coach Toshiys Miura and Coach Nguyen Huu Thang in the national team and was once considered the best goalkeeper in Vietnamese football in recent years. Unfortunately, in his journey to regain his form, the SLNA captain continued to have bad luck.

Nguyen Manh and his amazing saves
(Baonghean.vn) - As a goalkeeper who was absolutely trusted by coaches Toshiya Miura and Nguyen Huu Thang, however, recently, the SLNA goalkeeper has no longer had luck with the national team. That is truly a regret for those who saw the ability and class of the captain of the Nghe An team.
