Hanoi Club striker spoke after the match against India: "This is my last match for the national team. I hope the Vietnamese team will play well and the young players will integrate soon. I think I no longer have the chance to wear the national team's jersey.

I was very surprised to be back and play in front of the fans. I want to play more, but now is the time for young players. I always accompany them in any position. Over the past 18 years, I have always tried my best and Vietnamese football will develop, the national team will grow stronger."
