Vietnamese players constantly go abroad, Chinese newspapers respect

Quang Hai’s story about going abroad received the attention of domestic and regional media. However, not many people know that some young Vietnamese players have gone to Japan to play in recent years. Hong Quan and Van Luan (1999) left Saigon FC to move to Ryukyu Club in the Japanese 2nd division or Van Son and Ngoc Long moved to play for Azul Numazu Club in the 3rd division of Japan.

Before that, the number of Vietnamese players going abroad to play was also relatively large. Stars like Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong or Van Hau all have at least one overseas trip. The massive foreign wave of Vietnamese football has made the Chinese press admire.

PP Sport (China) wrote: “Vietnamese football has begun to plan for U23 players to go to ‘practice.’ As in March, four players switched to play in the 2nd division. and 3 from Japan.

However, the most interesting information right now is the future of Quang Hai. This player is about to expire his contract with Hanoi club and decided to go abroad to play. At this time, Quang Hai’s new destination is still a mystery, but there are many reports that this player can play for Nantes or Paris FC in France.

It is estimated that the player born in 1997 can receive at least 4 billion VND (160,000 euros) in annual salary if he joins Paris FC. No matter which club Quang Hai goes to in France, it is also a historical milestone of Vietnamese football.

Currently, there are about 12 Vietnamese players (including players of Vietnamese origin) playing abroad and five playing football in Europe. This season, there are 5 Vietnamese players playing in the Japanese league. In addition to the 4 players of Saigon FC, there is also goalkeeper Van Lam, who is wearing Cerezo Osaka.

In addition to actively allowing young players to “practice”, Vietnamese football also welcomes foreign players with Vietnamese blood. A typical example is the case of Adriano Schmidt. This player used to play in the lower German division, before returning to play in the V.League”.

Vietnamese football is growing and reaping many remarkable achievements at regional and continental levels. Meanwhile, Chinese football has shown signs of retreat and left many disappointments.
