At the invitation of the FC Artists team and the support of the Fun Sport information page, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson went to Vietnam and attended a charity friendly match on the afternoon of November 5 at Phu Nhuan Stadium. All proceeds from this match will be given to the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union for management, to help people in difficult circumstances and lonely elderly people in Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnamese people are very warm, sincere and open. My son and I have been in Vietnam for 5 days now to visit many places. Through what happened on the streets, in the football matches on television that were of interest, I know that Vietnamese fans are very passionate about football.
Bringing a shirt signed by Tottenham players to Vietnam this time is an effort to connect fans and help many people on this charity journey. Hopefully, through that, Tottenham Hotspur club can become more known" - Paul Robinson said.
Paul Robinson was England's number 1 goalkeeper at the 2006 World Cup, so this player also paid a lot of attention to the upcoming tournament in Qatar.
I think this year the England team has good, high-quality goalkeepers like Aaron Ramsdale, Nike Pope and Jordan Pickford. Dean Henderson is also an option but I think he will be the fourth option. Coach Gareth Southgate will have these 4 people to consider choosing.
As for my assessment of the chances of the 2022 World Cup champion, Brazil with an evenly superior force will be able to win the championship" - Paul Robinson emphasized.
Participating in the charity event on the afternoon of November 5, AFF Cup 2008 champion Huynh Quang Thanh shared: I am very happy to be a part of this meaningful event towards the community. It has been a long time since I have been able to relive the vibrant atmosphere like today. I am very excited to play football with a big star in world football at one time in this special match.
Regarding this year's World Cup, I think the tournament was held at a special and reasonable time, I have more affection for the French team and think, despite the difficulties, the opportunities for the French team this year are not small. France can successfully defend their World Cup title this year".
According to the announcement from the organizing committee, the 2 jerseys that legend Paul Robinson brought to Vietnam this time were successfully auctioned to those who love this goalkeeper and Tottenham, earning 150 million VND. The 3 teams participating in the friendly tournament also contributed an additional 500 USD/team to the organizing committee for charity. Paul Robinson also brought additional auction items such as shoes and gloves with his own signature to win the program.
