Pair of fans 'extravagant' and 'bear play' in Vietnam

They spend billions of bucks to watch the World Cup, watch the sky plane hire South Africa, risked his life to see SEA Games but did not know foreign languages, gas flares, and then go around the country to see his favorite team ...
What the "strange" on the two fans are attached to as the "goose" and "under play" of the Vietnam Football: Complete "say" and the morning "Cu Chi".

Van Tran Hoan Hoan aka "say" Complete "flares" or complete "picture of Uncle" is a famous businessman in the land of Hai Phong Port. But for those who love football, he was known to love football to the passionate, sometimes called a "fan" heavy. In him there is nothing greater than love for football. Complete nickname "say" is so. A love the adventure, sometimes "crazy" with football, to forget all personal happiness when the time he is unmarried, despite more than 40 years.

Complete a "say" is the name that is offensive for the organizers of the field, especially in Haiphong by screen burn flares. But in a different perspective, he has a love to the "extreme" for the team in Vietnam. Since Vietnam view team won the silver medal in SEA Games 18 in 1995, Complete "say" has not missed any games of any team. In the pages to promote his plate always has a large portrait of Uncle images, and any flight during which he always keep neighborhoods for fear of breaking portrait plate. As he says: "For me football is just to show love is both rights and obligations of each citizen. Plate portrait of Uncle Ho as a reminder for myself and the players on the national spirit, inspire pride in every human being in Vietnam. It is the source of power, of love football ... "

Complete "say" is best known from a memorable event at the SEA Games 23 in 2005. At the SEA Games semi-final that year, met U23 Malaysia U23 Vietnam in Bacolod, Philippines. Then, U23 Vietnam was ahead, then quickly equalized. Too excited, Complete "say" A jump from the stands up straight row has dozens of honorary guests from Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and then "non-" straight down from above the pitch to celebrate. Philippine security forces when it mistook the object of terrorism immediately surround and almost had him eating a little more ammunition.

Only when the complete "say" Lom com holding up portrait of Uncle Ho held up and pointed to the gold-starred red flag shirt you're wearing, they knew it was a passionate fan Vietnam. Well, when "love" people were prepared to forget everything, despite the dangers to come to love her.
Complete "say" have a mind of your very soul to see football and are willing to go along with his passion is Pham Van Sang, also known as the Morning "Cu Chi". The two knew each other from the SEA Games 23 and has since become an indispensable pair identical at any major football event of the world.

There is a story has become an "anecdote" is interesting to go see them together last year's World Cup 2010. Often going abroad, foreign money, they must vibrate at work ... which language, English is fundamental to be able to communicate and exchange information with a local. But the morning "Cu Chi" admitted an English word bites sometimes do not know, but still cavalier backpack turned up the road. Complete "say" What is also not much better, almost oblivious of the language.

When to go to South Africa, unable to communicate with local residents so they take a lot of disadvantages, from the travel, stay for the airport to buy tickets. In the first four days in South Africa, they were in a hotel to have cost up to $ 2,500 / night, but did not know how to find a cheaper place. Then, thanks to some overseas experience of Vietnam in South Africa they are new to staying at the Consulate General of Vietnam in South Africa in the last days with lower costs several times.
In his spare time waiting to see the matches, the morning "Cu Chi" went invite you to visit some interesting attractions of South Africa.

In July last, if applying for a visa in Argentina, the two who were on the road to see Copa America. They expected to see some Euro and World Cup in the future.

Maybe those who are seen as much money playing extravagant but it is important that their love for football never to Vietnam. In their hearts, just team rocks or stones are beautiful stone anywhere though they did not control for remote roads to cheer. It is very precious feelings.
As the AFF Cup 2008 round, the venue make Phuket, met at Bangkok airport can not operate due to protests, the Vietnam most fans can not get to cheer for training. At that time, the morning "Cu Chi" along with six others have sought to road from Cambodia to Bangkok, then plans to continue to ride to Phuket. It may just arrive Bangkok airports resumed, helping teams to Phuket in time cheering for the team. At that time, seven people are the only fans Vietnam has been in Phuket ...

At the upcoming 26th SEA Games, the Complete "say" and the morning "Cu Chi" will join the friends, brothers go cheer for Vietnam U23 team during the tournament. Very happy with them simply to witness the team win with tenacious fighting spirit. Vietnam football to the fans "love" like that ... the truth.
