Before he could relax after the glory with his team, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung had to face trouble from his own image, when a media price list appeared that was considered "quite expensive", making many people startled and worried for U23 Vietnam...

From Tien Dung story...

In fact, up to now, the story of making money from Bui Tien Dung's image has temporarily calmed down after Thanh Hoa Club and the image representative of the U23 Vietnam goalkeeper sat down together to...reconcile.

However, the controversy over Tien Dung... making money and offering a rather high price as seen has not stopped, and even continues to heat up.

It is very normal for Tien Dung to make money from his image, but he must be alert.

In fact, the story of the goalkeeper of U23 Vietnam making money from his image copyright is not new and very reasonable. It is even very encouraging at a time when players returning from China have... increased in value in the eyes of fans.

No one forbids Tien Dung from making money, as long as it is legal. But the way he started, as well as firmly asserting the star brand that the Thanh goalkeeper represents, seems a bit... excessive.

So now Tien Dung, who should have been able to rest before preparing for the new season, is suddenly... unnecessarily hot-tempered.

and message for U23 Vietnam

As mentioned, the fact that the U23 Vietnam goalkeeper uses his image to make money is very encouraging. But perhaps Tien Dung needs to remember that, basically, the U23 Vietnam goalkeeper can hardly use his image widely, if there is a contract and terms with Thanh Hoa Club.

It should also be added that Tien Dung's biggest goal at this time should not be about making money but about expertise. Remember, despite playing excellently at the U23 Asian Cup, whether or not he can get an official position at the club remains to be seen. Especially when Thanh Hoa has just added another equally talented name in the goal, Tran Buu Ngoc.

And the same goes for the U23 Vietnam players, where glory and money are always double-edged swords.

Tien Dung's story is probably also a big lesson for his U23 Vietnam teammates - who are very famous and have high prices after the historic victory with their home team at the U23 Asian Cup.

Quang Hai, Cong Phuong, Duy Manh... perhaps need to be more alert when it comes to money and fame. And also need to know that, no matter how much their prices increase, the first thing fans look at is definitely their expertise. Without expertise, don't dream about money or fame. On the contrary, if you play football well, you definitely won't have to worry about money.

At the age of 20-21, like most heroes of Vietnamese football, the story of being able to play in the main team at the club, winning a place in the national team... is clearly more important. And Vietnamese football has more or less lost a series of stars considered more talented than the current U23 generation, all because of money.

Therefore, U23 Vietnam should probably be sober with praise, fame and money as these are always double-edged swords before it's too late...
