Information about midfielder Hoang Duc parting ways with The Cong Viettel club has been confirmed, but his contract still runs until January 2025. That means, legally, he will only leave the team when the 2024-2025 season is almost halfway through. There's no discussion about when the Hai Duong player left, in what form (free or transfer), the problem here is, he had the opportunity to go, to a better environment at the clubs. abroad, came several times.
Responsibilities and obligations are natural when there is a contract. Love is also important if the player wants to devote himself to the team. But does Hoang Duc not want to go? It's clear that one of the top midfielders in domestic football wanted to experience and develop in another football background, but for many reasons - both objective and subjective, every opportunity was missed.
In the life of a player, moving from one club to another in a transfer contract is also a form of "right". But Hoang Duc, and many other players, could not take advantage of that opportunity because the way the transfer market operates is very different from that of Vietnamese football .
The transfer value posted by international transfer sites is actually just for... show, or material for the media, and the host club rarely receives the transfer fee. Many contracts are free-form, with kickbacks for players accounting for a relative portion of the budget needed for a team to go through a season.
The club values achievement and wants to keep the stars, so often the bad results are a change of coach, not a change of team personnel. It is also an obstacle to the flow of domestic football. Hoang Duc was 26 years old when he left. Maybe, he achieved something for himself and his family, but Vietnamese football lost another opportunity for player development...
Everyone says they want Vietnamese football to develop, but taking action is "not my job". Of course, the reason given couldn't be more reasonable.
