Overseas Vietnamese striker Lee Nguyen has reached agreements to wear the Ho Chi Minh City jersey at V.League 2021. Before that, this striker was also on the target of the Thong Nhat Stadium team in the 2020 season, but everything was "poured" at the last minute and Lee Nguyen continued to stay in the US to play for New England Revolution.
Before leaving the US team to prepare for Vietnam, Lee Nguyen shared his gratitude to the leadership, coaching staff and teammates at the New England Revolution club.
"2020 is a challenging year for us, but I hope to bring joy to all fans this season. Your support and the warm welcome to New England like the whole world to me. Thank you everyone for this unforgettable season," Lee Nguyen wrote on his personal page.
The Vietnamese-American player said he will not forget good memories with his teammates in New England as well as coach Bruce Arena, who always creates the best conditions for Lee Nguyen to play.
It is known that Lee Nguyen only agreed to return to the V.League to play for 1 season for the Thong Nhat Stadium team. If they perform well, the team will continue to raise the issue with this overseas Vietnamese midfielder. In the past, Lee Nguyen returned to Vietnam to play for HAGL and Binh Duong in the period of 2009 2011 and left many memorable impressions.
Lee Nguyen returned to Vietnam on January 8, 2021 and was quarantined for 14 days according to regulations.
