The incredibly austere menu of the 'lungless man' Pham Tuan Hai

Pham Tuan Hai (18) scored the only goal to help the Vietnamese team beat Syria 1-0.

That is the belt that Pham Tuan Hai ordered in Singapore to massage his back after every match or heavy training session. He maintains this habit so regularly that even when he gets on the plane, he still finds a space to lie down and run the machine.

But that's just one of the "toys" that the striker born in 1998 equipped himself with, such as a pillow massager, a calorie and heart rate monitor worn on his wrist during and after each training session...

At the age of 25, Hai "little" is a late bloomer of Vietnamese football. While his peers like Quang Hai and Thanh Chung were promoted to the first team of Hanoi Club very early, he had already wandered down to Hanoi B team, from the second division to the first division, then V-League 2020.

Tuan Hai wears a recovery belt on the flight from Indonesia back to Vietnam.

Hai "little" was once famous for being the top scorer in the national U.19 and U.21 finals, but when he was in the U.13 class, he violated the rules and was banned from practicing and only running outside for a year. Then when he was in the U.15 class, he was almost sent home by the teachers.

Luckily, that incident helped the striker from Phu Ly ( Ha Nam ) suddenly wake up, listen to the advice of his teachers, put aside all frivolous illusions and focus on practicing hard.

At this point, when he became a star of Hanoi FC as well as the Vietnam national team, Tuan Hai never slacked off for a second, and was even more strict with himself with the thought: "If you are not good enough, you have to practice more to be equal to others!".

On the plane, Tuan Hai discussed tactics with coach Anh Duc.

Not only focusing on training and recovery, Pham Tuan Hai is also very serious and strict with himself when it comes to eating - which is often overlooked by many players.

Few people know that for many years, Hai "little" has been following an incredibly strict menu every day, with main dishes being chicken breast, boiled eggs or fish - a menu similar to famous players like Ronaldo that he researched and learned from on the internet.

Not only that, he regularly updates his knowledge of nutrition, orders domestic and foreign supplements such as protein, collagen, vitamins, etc.

Coach Troussier expressed satisfaction with Hai "little"

Thanks to that, Tuan Hai always maintains good physical condition to meet the intensity of intense exercise like... the West, to become the top scorer in V-League 2022 with 10 goals, only losing to top scorer Rimario.

This was clearly demonstrated in the first two matches of coach Philippe Troussier against Hong Kong and Syria, in which "little" Hai demonstrated his maturity with a beautiful goal that brought a 1-0 victory against the West Asian representative.

Pham Tuan Hai's "hard" journey will continue, as he sets a goal of playing football more than the 30-year-old milestone, to satisfy his passion, with the desire to contribute to Hanoi Club and the Vietnam national team.
