In the past two years, it is no longer a strange story for a player of the Vietnam national team to receive a 3-year contract for 15 billion or more. However, for a 34-year-old star to continue receiving money of up to 18 billion VND, it has never appeared. The first person was Nguyen Van Quyet.
This season, Van Quyet has scored 5 goals and had 3 passes for his teammates to score. He became the domestic striker with the most goals in V.League history. However, the capital team did not pay such a large sum of money just for their flashy records.
Right before the contract between the two sides was signed, Van Quyet scored 2 goals in the match against Song Lam Nghe An. The 90 minutes at Hang Day Stadium witnessed a poor performance by valuable foreign players from Hanoi club. And then, Van Quyet played the role of a hero.
Above all, for a traditional team like Hanoi, finding an icon like Van Quyet becomes even more important. At the age of 34, Van Quyet is still playing and scoring, not just holding the role of spiritual leader.
18 billion VND is the trust that Mr. Hien has in the players closely associated with the successful era of the former V.League champion. It is very rare for a star to be persistent and keep himself well like Nguyen Van Quyet.
From the time Quyet "forest" was young until he reached major milestones in his career, he had almost no changes in lifestyle, activities and competition.
People rarely see Van Quyet using social networks or talking about his achievements. Finding a striker born in 1991 in antique shops, ornamental plants or a popular coffee shop will be easier.
Van Quyet may no longer "carry" the team as strongly as a few years ago. However, a "born player" in the V.League like Van Quyet is now too difficult to find.
