Student player 'caught the eye' of agent Dang Van Lam

When it seemed that victory was in the hands of the team representing the Western region, Le Minh Thuong shone at the right time with a well-placed and powerful header to equalize the score 1-1, snatching back a valuable point for Van Hien University. Minh Thuong's goal was very important, helping Van Hien University not lose its advantage in the race for a ticket to the quarter-finals.

After the referee blew the final whistle, the captain of Van Hien University was voted the best player of the match. Minh Thuong, with a happy face, had not yet celebrated with his teammates when suddenly a "Western" man approached and started talking. The "Western" man mentioned was Andrey Grushin, the representative of Vietnam national team goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Through an interpreter, Andrey Grushin asked Le Minh Thuong: "Do you want to play professional football?". The captain of Van Hien University was confused and did not understand what was happening, so Dang Van Lam's representative asked for the player's phone number to discuss later.

Sharing with Thanh Nien, Mr. Andrey Grushin said: "Dang Van Lam came to watch the opening day of the THACO Cup 2024. After that, he called me and said that this tournament has some promising players. Therefore, I flew here from Hanoi to watch the tournament". The representative of overseas Vietnamese star Dang Van Lam also revealed the reason for "asking for the number" of the player of Van Hien University: "I see that this player (Le Minh Thuong - PV) is quite promising, so I want to save the contact number to see how it goes. Actually, we want to own a football club and start competing from the 3rd division. Therefore, I want to find such players to try out".

Meanwhile, Le Minh Thuong was very surprised to learn that the person who had just talked to him and asked for his phone number was the agent of goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. When asked about pursuing a professional football career, the striker born in 2001, who is studying business administration at Van Hien University, expressed: "Actually, playing professional football has been my dream since I was a child. But I also know that at my current age, I have passed the stage of professional football development." However, with his strong passion for the round ball, Minh Thuong affirmed that he will still try his best to try his hand in a professional football environment if given the opportunity.

The captain of Van Hien University said that the header against Tra Vinh University was very meaningful to him and the whole team. "I was overwhelmed with emotion with this goal, as it brought points and raised the hope of advancing for the team. This will be the motivation for me and my teammates to try harder, with the goal of passing the group stage," Minh Thuong added.
