00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.619 
Ladies and gentlemen, Philips
2024-2025 is over. 

00:00:17.959 --> 00:00:20.779 
This is the time when Vietnamese
football begins to be vibrant with transfer activities. 

00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:24.859 
In today's Sports Perspective program,
we had a conversation with Mr. Nguyen Giang Dong, 

00:00:25.139 --> 00:00:28.339 
former president of Saigon Football Club
to share more about this issue. 

00:00:30.237 --> 00:00:32.417 
Hello MC and the fake ones 

00:00:34.135 --> 00:00:36.483 
Of course, although the Chairman of
Saigon Football Club, Mr. Nguyen Giang 

00:00:36.483 --> 00:00:38.635 
Dong, has been away from professional football for a long time, 

00:00:38.935 --> 00:00:43.195 
However, we still saw his image in the
stands of the cargo handling stadium, watching many matches. 

00:00:43.595 --> 00:00:47.135 
So seeing that Vietnam's current
professional football compared to 10 years ago, 

00:00:47.415 --> 00:00:49.635 
how do you consider the changes? 

00:00:50.099 --> 00:00:55.713 
In the past ten years, for example, both
the level of the goalkeeper and the 

00:00:55.713 --> 00:01:00.579 
national team and the level of the
Vietnamese players have increased a lot. 

00:01:01.422 --> 00:01:05.577 
The 2024-2025 season has just ended and
now is the time for 

00:01:05.577 --> 00:01:06.962 
the player transfer market. 

00:01:07.282 --> 00:01:10.702 
The story in which teams invest a
lot in hiring good coaches, 

00:01:10.802 --> 00:01:14.282 
High-quality foreign players or big
stars are becoming more and more vibrant. 

00:01:14.622 --> 00:01:17.982 
This reminds us of the golden
age of Vietnamese football. 

00:01:18.282 --> 00:01:22.302 
When the bossos spend big in football, 

00:01:22.642 --> 00:01:25.562 
How do you feel about the excitement
of the current transfer market? 

00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:30.608 
Now that Vietnam's economy is very
developed, all sponsors and large 

00:01:30.608 --> 00:01:36.122 
economic groups have a lot of economic
potential, people are willing to invest 

00:01:36.122 --> 00:01:41.212 
to make football more professional and
stronger by recruiting foreign teams and 

00:01:41.212 --> 00:01:46.726 
coaching staff in developed football
regions, such as in Spain or in Japan, 

00:01:46.726 --> 00:01:53.089 
Korea to come here to train and train
the ministries and forces to become more 

00:01:53.089 --> 00:01:54.362 
and more qualified. 

00:01:54.362 --> 00:01:56.082 
More professional. 

00:01:56.941 --> 00:01:59.978 
When mentioning transfers, people often
mention Mr. Giang Dong as a tycoon with 

00:01:59.978 --> 00:02:02.081 
the ability to negotiate and look at others differently. 

00:02:02.421 --> 00:02:04.621 
So how do you evaluate this assessment? 

00:02:43.786 --> 00:02:48.343 
Yes sir, in transfers, from your
experience, is the main decisive 

00:02:48.343 --> 00:02:49.586 
factor about money? 

00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:54.010 
Of course, that's all your money. 

00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.950 
Because the higher the quality of the
players, the higher the cost. 

00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:04.590 
Therefore, the more money, the better it
is to choose a good player to play. 

00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:12.354 
No one can be a salesman or a talent to
buy foreign players for a small fee and 

00:03:12.354 --> 00:03:14.510 
demand to buy quality players. 

00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:17.970 
So I had to choose lucky rice. 

00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:22.295 
Therefore, Vietnamese football has
witnessed quite noisy stories related to 

00:03:22.295 --> 00:03:26.784 
transfers such as Vu Nhu Thanh using
sacks of money to liquidate contracts or 

00:03:26.784 --> 00:03:28.708 
the act of showing off honor. 

00:03:29.028 --> 00:03:32.310 
So when participating in transfer
negotiations, did you ever 

00:03:32.310 --> 00:03:33.768 
face such special events? 

00:03:35.457 --> 00:03:42.499 
Those things, those cases are just for
listening, but the stage I do is not 

00:03:42.499 --> 00:03:44.377 
involved in such cases. 

00:03:45.057 --> 00:03:51.337 
Even if I am heard and seen like that, I
am, but I am not involved in such cases. 

00:03:52.197 --> 00:03:56.997 
Of course, from his experience, what is
the secret to being able to negotiate? 

00:03:56.997 --> 00:04:00.837 
Can you convince good football fans
to join your team? 

00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:08.839 
There are many factors to transfer
players to their clubs, not just money. 

00:04:08.839 --> 00:04:15.906 
First, we have to set the criteria for
our club, the aspirations of our club 

00:04:15.906 --> 00:04:21.559 
for ambition, for the club to develop
and the players to develop. 

00:04:21.559 --> 00:04:29.766 
People will easily agree, not the goal
that many players now want is to 

00:04:29.766 --> 00:04:36.800 
transfer from one club to another to
evaluate the progress and values 

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.559 
of the players. 

00:04:38.559 --> 00:04:44.859 
Therefore, I must also be the one to
prepare for people the future to develop 

00:04:44.859 --> 00:04:49.899 
their careers so that people are
passionate and people return to me. 

00:04:51.867 --> 00:04:55.897 
Of course, in transfers in Vietnam, the
rights of players regarding salaries and 

00:04:55.897 --> 00:04:57.447 
hand money are often mentioned. 

00:04:57.767 --> 00:05:01.967 
So in reality, for a deal to be
successful, there are other costs involved? 

00:05:04.523 --> 00:05:12.563 
For example, a player who, through a
representative, is often a negotiating 

00:05:12.563 --> 00:05:15.243 
mechanism for those representatives. 

00:05:16.083 --> 00:05:21.474 
In between the agreements, that is, the
three parties, the mechanisms, the 

00:05:21.474 --> 00:05:26.416 
representatives and the players, if
someone agrees, then it is shown 

00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:27.763 
in the contract. 

00:05:29.380 --> 00:05:34.220 
Of course, in his football journey, he
has also had many transfer deals. 

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.500 
So for you, the most successful contract
you have had up to now is which? 

00:05:42.745 --> 00:05:49.685 
In fact, when working as a fisheries
manager for the Saigon football team, 

00:05:49.825 --> 00:05:52.507 
Previously, the Former Hanoi Police
Department was a team participating in 

00:05:52.507 --> 00:05:53.725 
the First Division or higher, 

00:05:54.325 --> 00:06:01.445 
is actually just negotiating to buy
foreign players. 

00:06:01.765 --> 00:06:05.145 
As for this player, almost all of this
force belongs to the Hanoi 

00:06:05.145 --> 00:06:06.445 
youth team trained by others. 

00:06:07.365 --> 00:06:11.396 
Just don't use outside players, don't
buy domestic players too 

00:06:11.396 --> 00:06:12.605 
much, very little. 

00:06:13.165 --> 00:06:16.705 
Only when there is an increase but
there is a small increase. 

00:06:17.685 --> 00:06:23.085 
In general, it is to create a playground
and encourage young and mature players. 

00:06:24.405 --> 00:06:33.005 
During the Saigon team's process, there
were conditions for young players 

00:06:33.005 --> 00:06:37.685 
to be promoted to the national team and
the quality of the players has reached maturity. 

00:06:39.205 --> 00:06:41.085 
That is what... 

00:06:41.085 --> 00:06:47.265 
And I feel happy to have talented
players from young players 

00:06:47.265 --> 00:06:49.385 
was promoted to the national team. 

00:06:49.965 --> 00:06:54.945 
Then attended those that brought big
prizes from Thuong Chau 

00:06:54.945 --> 00:07:00.385 
Then there were the players who played
in the U20 World Cup in Korea. 

00:07:01.305 --> 00:07:08.505 
And many players have called it the
championship of the AFF CUP 

00:07:08.505 --> 00:07:11.025 
is also the AFC CUP. 

00:07:11.085 --> 00:07:16.845 
Southeast Asia is also a member of
the Saigon Monument. 

00:07:18.190 --> 00:07:21.050 
Yes, so which players
have he played for? 

00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.210 
and feel the most regretful until now? 

00:07:25.193 --> 00:07:28.553 
In fact, when buying a water bridge,
when the Saigon water bridge was built, 

00:07:28.553 --> 00:07:31.673 
it was not a bridge to create a
fake surplus for much money. 

00:07:32.233 --> 00:07:35.733 
Therefore, there is no ambition to
buy very good players. 

00:07:36.493 --> 00:07:42.253 
At that time, the economy is also
relatively narrow. 

00:07:42.253 --> 00:07:44.293 
It was about 10 years ago. 

00:07:44.813 --> 00:07:49.393 
So when it comes to regret, there
is no regret. 

00:07:49.393 --> 00:07:54.478 
Because Saigon players have also
recruited stars who have played in the 

00:07:54.478 --> 00:07:56.173 
U23 tournament of Brazil. 

00:07:57.333 --> 00:08:00.653 
And there are players who have played
for the Uganda national team. 

00:08:00.993 --> 00:08:05.973 
These are the quality foreign players
that the Saigon setter has recruited. 

00:08:06.807 --> 00:08:11.027 
Yes, back to personal stories after
leaving professional football 

00:08:11.027 --> 00:08:15.647 
People easily see Mr. Giang Dong on the
street drinking coffee, eating pho, exercising 

00:08:15.647 --> 00:08:17.307 
Then she quickly returned to take care of her grandparents 

00:08:17.307 --> 00:08:20.187 
So are these the joys
of your daily life? 

00:08:20.999 --> 00:08:27.745 
Yes, old age, weakness, playing with
children and taking them to the stadium 

00:08:27.745 --> 00:08:35.529 
on weekends to watch football is also a
form of entertainment, also a form of 

00:08:35.529 --> 00:08:40.199 
education for children to exercise to
keep them healthy. 

00:08:40.642 --> 00:08:44.862 
Thank you to Mr. Nguyen Giang Dong for
sharing in today's Sports Perspective program. 

00:08:47.037 --> 00:08:49.506 
Ladies and gentlemen, Vietnamese
football will continue to be 

00:08:49.506 --> 00:08:50.877 
vibrant with the traditional market. 

00:08:51.177 --> 00:08:54.106 
Through the story with the guest, Mr.
Nguyen Giang Dong, he helped you 

00:08:54.106 --> 00:08:55.457 
have more perspective on this issue. 

00:08:55.877 --> 00:08:59.397 
Let's wait for the next interesting
stories of Vietnamese football. 

00:08:59.737 --> 00:09:01.777 
And now, the time for the program has run out. 

00:09:02.057 --> 00:09:04.857 
See you again in the
next sports perspective programs.
