Huynh Nhu tells the story of being eliminated from the Vietnam team by coach Mai Duc Chung

"I remember the first day I practiced with you, that year you sent me back to the club. You also told me to try harder. Since then, I have tried very hard to return to the team. Thanks to that, I have Huynh Nhu today.

During the time working with you, I learned a lot about love and humility from a great person. A teacher always has a warm heart. I wish you good health and happiness with your family. For Vietnamese women's football, you are forever ", captain striker Huynh Nhu emotionally shared on her personal page.

The match between the Vietnamese women's team and the Japanese women's team is the last match that Mai Duc Chung will work as the head coach of the Vietnamese women's team. The 72-year-old strategist expressed his wish to end his work after his contract with the VFF expires in December 2023. The 2024 Paris Olympic qualifiers are the last international tournament for the Vietnamese women's team this year.

Huynh Nhu was first called up to the Vietnam women's team in 2011, when she was still a young player. In 2014, coach Mai Duc Chung briefly took charge of the Vietnam women's team. At that time, Huynh Nhu was not yet a mainstay and needed a lot of guidance and training from the coaches.

Not only Huynh Nhu but many other players of the Vietnamese women's team expressed their emotions when they learned that they would no longer have the opportunity to work with coach Mai Duc Chung. Midfielder Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy said she cherished every moment of being a student of teacher Mai Duc Chung.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Kim Thanh wrote: " In 2019, at this place, you still believed in me and gave me the opportunity to compete and achieve more success than expected. In 2023, also at this place, you said goodbye to me and Vietnamese women's football.

With what you have brought to me and Vietnamese women's football, the achievements are worthy of respect. More specifically, you brought Vietnamese women's football to the World Cup for the first time. I wish you good health and happiness with your family and in life. Thank you, great teacher, admirable father ."
