VPF Vice President Tran Manh Hung "punished himself", who punished Mr. Hien?
Yesterday afternoon (May 22), Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), Tran Manh Hung, resigned and was approved by the Board of Directors. That is natural, because even in the market, no one uses such words to talk to their "colleague" and former employee, in this case, Deputy Head of the Referee Board Duong Van Hien.
The story of Mr. Hung "fishmonger" being framed, everyone can feel through the leaked audio tape, especially through contact and consultation, the nature of the Chairman of Hai Phong Club "eating waves and talking nonsense" is like that.
Wild nose, the driver takes the hit. VPF lost “a person who can get the job done, a person who is ready to argue and be decisive”, but Vietnamese football and national professional football tournaments no longer have to suffer the bad reputation of a football official who likes to swear.

What people are concerned about now is how VFF will handle the case of Mr. Duong Van Hien next? “We have the responsibility to make a report to verify who recorded the mediation meeting that day and who leaked the recording, and then report to the Standing Committee as well as the President of VFF. Mr. Hien admitted to recording, but affirmed that he was not the one who provided the recording to the outside. Because Mr. Hien is a member of the Executive Committee and also the Deputy of the Referee Board - one of the functional departments, how to handle it is the business of the Standing Committee's leaders", said Mr. Nguyen Nam Hung, Head of the VFF Inspection Committee.
That is what Mr. Hung, the head of the inspection committee, said. As for the professional aspect, if we need to track down who “leaked” the recording out, it would not be difficult. In terms of distance and sound quality heard from the tape, if it is not from Mr. Hien, then who else could it be from, when people clearly hear every soft, melodious word, or to put it bluntly, “set up” by Mr. Hien!
Also yesterday afternoon, after Mr. Tran Manh Hung's resignation decision, we contacted the Vice President in charge of VFF's professional affairs, Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan, to listen to how to handle the "family member" Mr. Duong Van Hien. However, Mr. Tuan could not satisfy us with an answer, because "this is the issue of the President of VFF and the Standing Committee". "The President of VFF is the one who directs all issues and I personally only do it when requested. I myself am not the official spokesperson of VFF. Especially issues related to personnel of functional departments and offices", Mr. Tuan said.
Those who needed to ask, asked, and everyone refused to comment, as well as solutions to the case of Mr. Duong Van Hien. The ball was kicked to Chairman Le Hung Dung, but who Mr. Dung is, what he has done and is doing during his term, there is no need to say more. Because of his old age, weak health, and constant illness, frankly speaking, Mr. Dung has long been unable to control the organization of which he is the head. Only when something happens, people think of him as an excuse, an indispensable link.
One thing is certain, even if he is “acquitted”, as a member of the Executive Committee and Deputy of the Referee Committee of VFF, Mr. Duong Van Hien will find it difficult to go against the court of conscience, difficult to continue his current job – a person who holds the power of life and death on the field in his hands. Because it will seriously affect the reputation and quality of professional football tournaments in Vietnam. There is a saying: “A famous teacher produces a good student”, there is no shortage of references and living witnesses to Mr. Hien’s story.
