Quang Hai has made decisions about his future. |
At the same time, the businessman who used to live and work in Germany also emphasized that this is the most suitable time for his client to go abroad to play football.
Regarding the money issue, refuting the opinion that Quang Hai went abroad because of better treatment, Mr. Van affirmed that his client would have to sacrifice a lot for his choice.
“If it was for money or safety, he would stay. In Vietnam, Quang Hai is a star, has everything, from money to fame, everyone knows him wherever he goes. But when he goes abroad, he has to start from scratch. Not everyone dares to do this,” Mr. Van confided.
Another issue that many fans are concerned about is whether Quang Hai will be able to play a lot when he goes abroad. Mr. Van emphasized that no team can promise the number of matches a rookie player will play. "The team will support Quang Hai to the fullest. But how many matches he will play will depend on his own ability to play football," Mr. Van affirmed.
Before leaving his old team, he has two more matches in Hanoi FC's shirt (against Thanh Hoa on April 4 in the V-League make-up match and against CAND on April 7 in the National Cup).
According to the contract, Quang Hai officially became a free player after April 12.

Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez insists Messi is the best player in football history and Barcelona club history, and he has the right to return to the team at any time.
Finally, what fans of Spanish club Barcelona have been hoping for has come true, as mentioned by head coach Xavi Hernandez.

Last summer, financial troubles prevented Barcelona from re-signing Messi, forcing the Argentine star to move to Paris Saint-Germain, while fans of the Nou Camp team could not believe the prospect of having to say goodbye to one of the team's greatest legends.
As time went by, in the new shirt, Messi appeared uncomfortable, and recently he was even booed by PSG fans because of his unimpressive performance in the Champions League.
After this incident, many Barcelona fans mentioned welcoming Messi "back home".
And Xavi himself also spoke about this issue in the press conference. He affirmed: "He is the best player in the history of football and the history of the club, he has the right to return to the team at any time. The door is always open for him. As long as I am working at Barcelona, the door is always open for him to return at any time."
Without Messi, Barcelona had a poor start to the season. It was not until Xavi took over in November that the team regained its form.
Although financial issues must be adjusted to be able to "dream" of bringing Messi back, Barcelona fans now believe that with Xavi leading the team, the team will soon return to the path of success, thereby improving financial issues and "bringing Messi home".
