Lee Nguyen's father revealed the future of his son in Vietnam

The transfer deal between Lee Nguyen and Ho Chi Minh City Club has caused a stir in Vietnamese football recently. The problem between the two sides now lies only in the transfer fee. After many days of negotiation, the Southern Club was 'spending huge' as they decided to accept the USD 1 million request of the overseas Vietnamese midfielder.

However, for Mr. Nguyen Van Pham (Lee Nguyen's father), it is still too early to know the outcome of the transfer: “Everything has not gone anywhere yet so I cannot say anything now. You know American culture, can't say anything when the deal is happening. I'll share more details right after the successful transfer.”

Mr. Pham was the one who led Lee Nguyen to the country when he was 23 years old. More than 10 years ago, he felt Lee Nguyen ability in HAGL before quickly saw his son's disappointment when he was isolated by the V-League. Teammates refused to pass the ball and the opponent tried to damage.

So, when the Ho Chi Minh City Club expressed their desire to bring Lee Nguyen to the V-League, Mr. Pham was very happy but also very worried. “Lee Nguyen needs to decide how to do his job well. As a father, I appreciate the offer of Ho Chi Minh City. They are a big club in Vietnam. Their interest in Lee makes me excited and grateful.”

A source of Thanh Nien press also said, a few months ago, Mr. Pham and his son used to contact some Vietnamese clubs to play here for the rest of his career.

Mr. Pham also believes his son will make a wise choice for his future. And whether he chooses HCMC club or not, Lee Nguyen's future will surely have the image of Vietnamese football. By now, he is cherishing planning to open a community football center in his homeland.
