Nam has vowed to bring Vietnam’s footballers to Europe and give them the opportunity to test themselves against the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. This will open up opportunities for young stars like Nguyen Quang Hai, Doan Van Hau and Nguyen Van Toan who helped lead the national team to glory in the AFF Cup in late 2018.
