We have been informed by police of the arrest of these two players and we will now await the conclusions of their investigations.

For now, they were banned from the V-League, which starts in January. They could be banned for life if convicted in a court.

It's all a great loss for Vietnamese football. We have lost a generation of players we took many years to train. Market economy has had a terrible impact on the players who had been ill-prepared for it.

It's a big loss to Vietnamese soccer, but we need to clean up our soccer.
