Van Quyet and mixed records of joy and sadness

With this admirable achievement, Van Quyet is striving to catch up and possibly surpass the record of his seniors Anh Duc with 106 goals and Cong Vinh with 116 goals when they have been out of competition for a long time. Also counting this round, Van Quyet has scored 6 goals for Hanoi FC, an excellent achievement if someone compares it to star Tien Linh who is currently scoring 0 goals for Binh Duong!

Round 7 of V-League1-2023, Hanoi FC visited Quy Nhon Stadium and unexpectedly lost 1-3 to the martial arts team. Van Quyet did not score any goals and when the final whistle sounded, the teams shook hands and said goodbye, the referee gave a red card to the captain of the away team. Before that, there was a scene of rushing into each other to clarify the situation in which the main referee initially awarded the home team a free kick outside the penalty area, but after consulting the linesman, he "moved" the penalty to the 11m mark. After this red card, the media and fans were excited about information and speculation about a severe penalty for Van Quyet. This star also quickly admitted his mistake, admitted his mistake to the referees and fans as the most professional and wise behavior possible.

It is not known what the sentence will be, only that with only one round of V-League, Van Quyet is going from the "peak" of achievements to the "abyss" of disappointment. Remember, in this star's V-League career, many V-League championships of the Capital team have great contributions from him, even when the team did not have Quang Hai, Dinh Trong... Winning the Vietnam Golden Ball for the second time, Van Quyet once made Tien Linh... cry even though he played extremely well for the national team. But along with his brilliant achievements, Van Quyet has a "criminal record" of being red-carded 4 times, suspended for 7 matches (not counting the precedent-setting penalty of following the example of the English, who heavily fined Mitrovic for 8 matches and a lot of money for his recent behavior of colliding with the referee and using rude words).

Obviously, when playing at the familiar Hang Day home stadium, with the support of the audience and sometimes the referee being lenient with the home team, Van Quyet often plays very well, very explosively as many people know. But when leaving the home stadium, things are more unpredictable so Van Quyet can easily lose the necessary toughness of a top star, especially when facing an unfavorable referee, things go in a worse direction. Van Quyet once played dirty with an opponent at Quang Ninh stadium a few seasons ago. Van Quyet also had two excessive reactions to the referee and was punished with a 5-match suspension and a fine of 15 million VND in 2014. And it is very possible that this "record" along with the records of the supervisor and the referee in the match lost to Binh Dinh mentioned above will "increase" the sentence for Hanoi FC's top star, a disastrous consequence after the first loss of the season.

It should be added that in this match, Hanoi FC sent out U22 Vietnam players like Tien Long and Van Chuan from the start. Before that, there was Kiatisuk's beautiful act of sending out more young players in the match against Song Lam Nghe An. It is only worth mentioning that the two "beautiful acts" mentioned above both had a disastrous outcome: Hanoi lost the first match, giving up the top spot to Thanh Hoa, Hoang Anh Gia Lai also lost the first match and everything was deadlocked as before. Hanoi FC's away defeat may eventually be seen as an occupational accident, in which people saw the inexperience of the winger Tien Long was responsible for the first goal, and the second and third goals were due to Van Chuan's lack of experience, leading to regrettable mistakes.

But how to say that Van Quyet’s mistake, the mistake that led to a direct red card and a pending penalty, is correct? It’s not the first time Van Quyet has received a red card, nor is it the first time he has committed a mistake related to the referee, if not to say that this is a “systemic mistake” by someone who is not young and inexperienced in the V-League?

A football talent with many contributions of course needs to be evaluated and rewarded appropriately, Van Quyet is definitely such a case, although the second time he received the Golden Ball honor still caused some public opinion. With Hanoi FC, Van Quyet is of course number 1, but with the Vietnam National Team, that is impossible, because no matter how hard he tries, he is not suitable for the playing style, at least under Park Hang-seo. That beautiful and valuable gem, which continues to shine at Hanoi FC, has a few small flaws as an inevitable inevitability.

The recent story of Van Quyet is really good and fortunately he quickly admitted his mistake and accepted the penalty. This can be considered a profound lesson for Van Quyet and a useful general lesson for everyone in the difficult and stumbling football competition./.
