Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh jumped up to celebrate, keeping his promise when his student Dinh Quang Kiet scored. |
Sharing after the match, Mr. Thanh said that the celebration was due to a “promise” he made to his student. “I often criticize Quang Kiet for not knowing how to score. If he scores, I will crawl all over the field,” he shared.
The situation of “promising and keeping” of this Technical Director has been praised by the online community. Many comments assessed Mr. Vu Tien Thanh as “too prestigious, says what he does, does what he says, if he loses he has to pay even though it is a bit… embarrassing”.

Quang Kiet is also a bright young talent of U22 Vietnam, expected to have a place in the squad under coach Kim Sang-sik and shine at the 33rd SEA Games taking place in December in Thailand.
