Alex's agent, Mikail Adampour, said that as long as the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) sends a summons letter to Nest-Sotra Club, he will do everything possible to bring Alex (Alex Dang's nickname) back to Vietnam, from arranging a Vietnamese passport for Alex's father to procedures for Alex to have Vietnamese nationality.
