Striker scored 1 goal in V.League in 3 years and still called up to Vietnam national team
In the list of the Vietnam National Team to gather in June 2024, Coach Kim Sang-sik called up 6 strikers including: Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Van Tung (Hanoi), Bui Vi Hao, Nguyen Tien Linh (Binh Duong), Tran Ngoc Son, Nguyen Van Toan (Nam Dinh). Among them, Nguyen Van Tung is the name that has caused a lot of controversy.
The striker of Hanoi FC was called up to the national team despite not having any goals or assists in the 2023/24 season. The 2001-born player's mark mainly came in the U23 Vietnam shirt under coaches Philippe Troussier and Hoang Anh Tuan.
Van Tung's presence in the Vietnam National Team under coach Kim Sang-sik has caused much controversy. However, this also reflects the current problems of Vietnamese football. In fact, in the V.League at this time, there are not many strikers who have proven their ability better than Van Tung.
Coach Vu Tien Thanh of HAGL received a heavy penalty
Recently, the Disciplinary Board of the Vietnam Football Federation met and made a decision regarding coach Vu Tien Thanh's statements criticizing the referee and disparaging the leadership of VPF after losing to Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 21 of V-League 2023/2024.
Accordingly,Coach Vu Tien Thanh of HAGL was fined 20 million VNDdue to statements that seriously affected the image of Vietnamese football. Luckily for HAGL, their captain was not banned from coaching.
Previously, in the press conference after the 1-4 loss to Ho Chi Minh City FC, coach Vu Tien Thanh said: “This kind of refereeing is very frustrating. The ball was passed without the player participating, but the referee raised the offside flag. No one has the expertise to catch it like that. If that ball had equalized 2-2, everything would have been different. I think that CAHN FC wrote a complaint about the referee, which is right.”
In addition to complaining about the refereeing, coach Vu Tien Thanh also criticized VPF, saying: "Organizing a match every 4 days, organizing the referees has many problems. I once talked to Mr. Duc, he said he was too passionate to play, but playing means having to live with the crowd... It's so tiring!
