Favorite student received red card, Coach Miura "turned on" FIFA referee
It was just a friendly match, but when he saw his favorite student Gonzalo receive two consecutive yellow cards, coach Miura of Ho Chi Minh City Club expressed his dissatisfaction with the main referee Vo Minh Tri.
On the afternoon of February 28, Ho Chi Minh City FC had a friendly match with SHB.Da Nang at the Ho Chi Minh City Police Center Stadium. The match featured many notable faces, such as Coach Miura, striker Gonzalo, who is about to be naturalized, or Phi Son from Ho Chi Minh City FC, and Bui Tien Dung and Ha Duc Chinh from SHB.Da Nang. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, satisfying the fans who came to watch.

In addition to the goals and the presence of bright faces, the highlight of the match was also the 2 yellow cards (equivalent to 1 red card) given to Gonzalo in just 20 minutes that this striker was on the field. Both yellow cards came from the Argentine player's reaction errors. This silly reason made coach Toshiya Miura dissatisfied with the player and the referee of the match, Vo Minh Tri.
After the match, many fans surrounded Coach Miura who was complaining to the 45-year-old FIFA referee who had just retired. Mr. Tri tried to explain Gonzalo’s mistake to the Japanese coach with his language skills, but it seemed unconvincing.
With his meticulous nature, Mr. Miura certainly wanted to learn more so that his student could avoid repeating the same mistake because if it were an official match, it would clearly be a disaster for Cong Vinh's team and the coaching staff of Ho Chi Minh City Club.
