This is an expensive lesson for those who are involved in selling, not only legally but also for honor, career and future.
These 6 players have to face a total of 38 years in prison, a very expensive price for the act of defecating football, their career has been attached over the past time.
The price of greed and lack of thought
When young players, nurtured and developed talents in a professional sports environment, choosing negative paths such as selling, not only violating the law, but also losing everything they have and are.
These players, such as Le Bang Gia Huy (8 years in prison), Nguyen Son Hai (8 years in prison), Pham Van Phong (8 years in prison), Nguyen Quang Huy (7 years in prison), Nguyen Khanh Duy (4 years in prison) and Tran Ky Anh (3 years in prison), lost freedom and permanently lost promising sports career.
The details of the indictment show that this group of players took advantage of their position and influence to manipulate the results of the matches.
The group together agreed to arrange the match results between Ba Ria – Vung Tau and SHB Da Nang in the 2023/24 season, with betting purposes and profit division from losing. This action has directly damaged the reputation of the Vietnam tournament and sports in general.
As a result of the match, when Ba Ria – Vung Tau lost 1-3, it was not only a disappointing match for fans but also opened the next series of “selling” actions of this group of players.
They continued to organize and participate in betting cases in the next match, such as a 0-2 loss to Dong Nai Club at the National Cup of 2023/24. This increases the blame in their actions, when they not only harm the team but also affect the image of the sport they represent.
The loss cannot be compensated
The sports career of each player is built through each match, every effort to practice, but a wrong decision can destroy everything. These players have given their future just to receive illicit currencies from betting.
Behind the coins they received from these betting were the faith that was broken, the matches no longer have sports value, the ugly images that fans will not forget.
When they have to pay for their actions by prison, not only the freedom of being deprived but also a career, reputation and future. In sports, players are not only players on the field but also models for young people to follow.
Exemplary and honest job is what all athletes must remember. And now, this group of players faces appropriate punishment for their serious mistakes.
Lesson for Vietnamese football
The story of the Ba Ria – Vung Tau players is not only the story of a group of people making mistakes but also a wake -up scene for the entire Vietnamese football.
Sports, and especially football, always need moral individuals, clean competition spirit and dedication to the color of the shirt. Actions like this ruin personal career, and at the same time damage the development of Vietnamese football.
The sentence that 6 players must receive is the price for wrong actions, also a reminder for all those who live in a sports environment.
Remember, each of our decisions have consequences, and what we choose will shape our own future.
