Vietnamese Players Advised Against Pursuing Career in Indonesian League: Expert Opinion

Football5Star.comIndonesia – Vietnamese players have been asked not to pursue careers in Indonesian competition, League 1. It is even said that the Indonesian league is no better than the Vietnamese competition.

This opinion was conveyed by a former Vietnam player, Vu Manh Hai. He was recently irritated when he read the news that a number of Indonesian clubs were targeting the players in the Land of the Dragons.

This is the impact of the PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) and PSSI regulations which allow 6 foreign players in League 1 2023-24, one of whom is from Southeast Asia. Well, Vu Manh Hai himself had read the news when a number of Vietnamese players were said to be going to Indonesia, such as Doan Van Hau, to Nguyen Quang Hai.

“In my opinion, the level of the Indonesian league may still be inferior to the V.League, so if Vietnamese players come there, it is only to change the environment. Of course, going there to change the environment is also interesting. If the Indonesian side makes a proposal with a good financial aspect, why don’t the players leave? But in Southeast Asia, if players intend to go abroad, Thailand is a good destination,” said Vu Manh Hai quoted from Soha.

Vietnamese Players Should Seek Better Experience

According to Vu Manh Hai, Vietnamese players should have a better experience if they want to have a career abroad. Thailand is said to be the destination because it has better quality than the Vietnam league.

“After all, Thai professional football is better than us, the level is higher than the V.League. In the Thai League, players can play for 1 or 2 years. If they are still in their prime, they will go to Japan and Korea,” he concluded.
