Winning big against Laos, this star of the Vietnamese team still receives a "shower" of criticism

On the evening of March 25, the Vietnamese team had a resounding 5-0 victory over Laos in the opening match of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.

It is worth mentioning that although coach Kim Sang-sik let striker Nguyen Tien Linh start, he played very poorly and did not score any goals.

After the match, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball.

"Since Xuan Son got injured, no one can make Tien Linh score anymore," Nguyen Thai Ha humorously commented.

Another person continued: "Honestly, if he plays like today, the Vietnamese Golden Ball does not deserve to be on the national team."

“I'm afraid Tien Linh's fans will be sad, but most of the goals he scores are very easy. The first pass is a meter away, and when he's in the middle of an attack, he passes the ball back,” another account said.

Before the match with Laos, the star born in 1997 had a relapse of his injury while training with the Vietnamese team.

Although he recovered in time and played in the match against Laos, many people thought that his performance was very bad.

“I’m asking seriously, is the Vietnamese Golden Ball playing today? Why don’t I see him on the field?” a Facebook user teased.

"If Tien Linh had scored today, it would have been more complete, but playing like that, how could he have scored?", another fan wrote.
