Duy Manh encountered a tense situation in Malaysia, the national press published a malicious article, is the truth causing frustration?

"I stopped Man United, now it's Malaysia" says Vietnam captain , that is the headline in Malaysia's New Straits Times .

However, in reality, Duy Manh did not say anything like that at the press conference this afternoon. Duy Manh's statement was "transformed" by the Malaysian newspaper, distorting it from reality.

In this article, the writer of New Straits Times quoted the content of the statement of the captain of the Vietnamese team in the press conference before the match. However, in the entire article, Duy Manh did not say anything similar.

Specifically, when interviewed this afternoon, the player born in 1996 only shared that he was about to play for the third time at Bukit Jalil Stadium. Although showing confidence, Duy Manh's words were also very polite and cautious, not at all arrogant as the New Straits Times headlined.

Duy Manh said: "This will be an important match for the Vietnamese team in Group F. Having to play away at Malaysia will bring difficulties for the Vietnamese team. We will have to prepare carefully in terms of tactics to have a good match tomorrow against Malaysia. My teammates and I will follow the tactics that the coaching staff has built.

This is the third time I have played at Bukit Jalil. One was the AFF Cup 2018 final. Two weeks ago, I played with the ASEAN All-Stars against Manchester United. And now, I will play with the Vietnamese national team against Malaysia.

I can feel the heat of Bukit Jalil Stadium. The Malaysian audience is very passionate. The players and I have to try to overcome the pressure and play calmly to get good results."

Commenting on the current Malaysian squad, Duy Manh also expressed caution:

"The Malaysian team is different now, from the coach to the players. They have 17-18 naturalized players and many of them play abroad. They are quality players and promise to cause difficulties for the Vietnamese team. Anyway, the ball has not rolled yet, I cannot say anything in advance. Until tomorrow we still do not know what we will eat, so we cannot be sure about anything today. I can only affirm that the Vietnamese team will have determination and goals, and prepare the best when meeting Malaysia."

It can be seen that the captain of the Vietnamese team showed humility, but at the same time emphasized his determination when visiting Malaysia, and did not have an arrogant attitude as the press conveyed.

This is not the first case where the press of your country has 'directed' international public opinion to have an unfair view of Vietnamese players. Typically, after the AFF Cup 2024 , the Thai media published untrue articles about Pham Tuan Hai and the star of the Vietnamese national team was forced to speak up to explain.

The famous Thai news site Khaosod suddenly published a statement by Pham Tuan Hai. Specifically, this newspaper published a statement said to be by Pham Tuan Hai: "Thai League does not help me improve my level. If I get to play abroad, I will try my best. I am not interested in the ASEAN tournament, especially the Thai tournament. If you want to improve your speed, you have to go higher."

Immediately, Thai fans reacted very strongly after this article. Many Thai fans made negative judgments about the star born in 1998. They said that no Vietnamese player has ever successfully played abroad and no Thai team is interested in Tuan Hai.

Faced with the wave of anger directed at him, Pham Tuan Hai had to speak up: "I certainly never criticized a tournament with good professional quality like Thai League. Any tournament has its own challenges and difficulties."

The Hanoi FC player said he was confused when he read this information, and even carefully checked all his interviews. Obviously, the Thai press has published fabricated information. The incorrect content published by Khaosod has caused unnecessary controversy between the two footballing countries.
