Behind the Minister of Light Pau FC

In a Vietnamese restaurant near the Pont-Neuf Bridge in Paris in May 2022, the atmosphere began to boil over. The waitresses huddled together, whispered and pointed at a guest who had just sat down in a chair. The chefs also poked their heads into the dining room to look at this guest. Other customers may wonder who is the focus of that attention? Is that guy a singer, or an actor?

In fact, it's the Japanese soccer player, you're the national team, and it's the star in Vietnam, even the Vietnamese people in the world know it.

This guy has been in Paris since May. He just posted a simple photo on social media, but enough to create a rumor storm in his hometown. Local media have even considered the possibility of him joining Paris Saint-Germain. In fact, Guang Hai just had a rest in Paris and transferred to Paul. The leader of this French second division side-Ligue 2-is waiting for him there, meeting for the first time.

Phi Hung Ta Van is French of Vietnamese descent and manages the transfer brokerage Myg Invest. Paul FC vice president Joel Lopez believes Phi Hung is the most important factor in this special transfer. Phi Hung's company also represents France and Laos striker Billy Ketkeophomphone. Myg Invest helped the player complete the process of playing for Laos from January 2021. "When Ketkeophomphone faced Vietnam in the AFF Cup, people kind of talked about me because I have Vietnamese ancestry," Phi Hung told L 'é quipe.

The deal progressed when Phi Hung met with representatives of Quang Hai - Mr. Nguyen Dac Van - in Brussels, Belgium. Dak Van told Phi Hung that after the contract with Hanoi FC, Quang Hai wanted to try playing football in Europe. At that time, Phi Hung heard the 25 -year -old midfielder, but did not imagine Quang Hai had a great influence in Vietnam.

Little lightweight, left foot and played the 10 position in Vietnam. That's enough for you to be named "Messi Vietnam" in Southeast Asia. Fei-er quickly thought of a potential landing for the Sea, and that's Pau, Since you were having sex with this club before, Vice President Lopez explained, "Pau is family football and young, so we're looking for other players from another tournament, another continent, when Africa said that's what we saw in lightness.

No Vietnamese player has played in a professional league in France. But coach Didier Tholot was excited after seeing Guang Hai's profile and video.

The transfer progress was accelerated when Quang Hai proposed to visit the team's facilities, and meet the leaders. Lopez loves this proposal, because then the two sides have never guaranteed a competition.

When the Sea of Light is in Paris, rumors are rumored to join the Metz, Nantes or Nimes. But the fact that you don't negotiate with any team in there. A few days after a meeting in the middle of the lighthouse, Lopez and Tholot, this quarterback on two years, with a year's end.

Phi Hung said that Guang Hai carefully studied the team, its lineup and style of play before joining. PAU leaders were even surprised. "He wants to try his luck with a family football team, which is different from Vietnam. Guang Hai will start from scratch," Phi Hung said.

Since then, Pau leaders have known the influence of Quang Hai. The Facebook account of the team has exploded from about 30,000 to more than 360,000 followers. Interview suggestions from press and television agencies in Asia also continuously flocked to this small team.
