Phan Thanh Binh: Former Vietnamese player "encroached" showbiz, "rooster raising children" after 8 years of divorce from his wife

Phan Thanh Binh was once mentioned in the football world as the record holder for attending the SEA Games four times in a row. The male player is a character who emerged very early, but also receded into oblivion very quickly. The life of the former Vietnam National Team also has many changes.

From 2003 to 2008, Phan Thanh Binh was the main striker of Dong Thap and one of the main strikers of the Vietnam National Team, the Vietnam Olympic Football Team. He scored the decisive goal in the 4-3 win over Malaysia at SEA Games 23, sending the Vietnamese team to the final against Thailand.

If Pham Van Quyen, Vu Nhu Thanh, Chau Phong Hoa, or Doan Viet Cuong lost their form and lost their careers because they indulged in fun off the field, to the point of losing themselves, then Phan Thanh Binh is not is a "player" in that way.

But strangely, after 2009, when he was just 23 years old, the striker from Lai Vung (Dong Thap) was no longer at his peak.

Although Phan Thanh Binh is also more or less involved in showbiz life, because his ex-wife, a model and TV actress, belongs to this world. But Phan Thanh Binh did not sink deep into it, still did not forget his main profession.

He is still working hard on the training field, still following the discipline of the teams he plays for, but strangely, Phan Thanh Binh's performance is no longer as good as he was when he was 23 years old or before. . Strangely enough, Phan Thanh Binh went down at the stage when many players began to move up the ladder to a new, more sublime career at a similar age.

In 2003, when he was just 17 years old, Phan Thanh Binh was the mainstay of the U23 Vietnam team attending the 22nd SEA Games at home, playing striker alongside famous star Pham Van Quyen.

Phan Thanh Binh scored 2 goals in the tournament just mentioned, including a beautiful goal with a reverse header in the semi-final against Malaysia, bringing the U23 Vietnam team to the final.

That was the tournament where Phan Thanh Binh made his mark with coach Alfred Riedl, before the Austrian coach from then on "favored" this striker, to the point that the players at that time joked that Phan Thanh Binh was "his son" . raising Mr. Riedl".

After 2005, Phan Thanh Binh participated in two more SEA Games in 2007 and 2009. He scored 2 more goals at SEA Games 24 in 2007 in Thailand, 3 more goals at SEA Games 25 in 2009 in Laos, but still regrettably missed out on the men's soccer championship title in the land of Million Elephants.

As for the national team, the striker from Dong Thap was a member of the Vietnamese team that won the 2008 AFF Cup, as well as a member of the team that reached the quarterfinals of the 2007 Asian Cup (historic achievement of domestic football, but it was not until the 2019 Asian Cup, under coach Park Hang Seo, that the Vietnamese team was able to repeat).

It is worth noting that, in both of the above mentioned tournaments, Phan Thanh Binh scored goals, including a very important goal in Vietnam's 1-1 draw with Qatar in the group stage of the 2007 Asian Cup, making a great contribution to bringing the team together. Coach Alfred Riedl's football reached the quarterfinals of that year's tournament.

Phan Thanh Binh is probably the most beautiful and difficult to explain case of poor performance in Vietnamese football history.
