Suara.com – Get to know the figure of the President of Pau FC, Bernard Laporte-Fray, who admitted that his team’s move to recruit the attacking midfielder for the Vietnam National Team, Nguyen Quang Hai, was only aimed at making a profit.
Since being brought in by Pau FC in the summer of 2022, Nguyen Quang Hai has indeed been unable to get proper playing minutes in the second tier competition of the French League.
According to Bernard Laporte-Fray, Pau FC’s decision to recruit Nguyen Quang Hai was inseparable from purely marketing factors. Because, he has high popularity in Vietnam as well as Southeast Asia.
“Of course, we are talking about marketing. We want him (Quang Hai) to become the real Lionel Messi, but he has to face a new environment, different from the one he faced in Vietnam,” Laporte-Fray told Main Stand, reported by Makan Bola, Thursday (16/3/2023).

“It wasn’t easy for him to adapt, he also likes to be alone and doesn’t speak French, even though he took courses,” said Laporte-Fray.
“We want him to advance to the first team, but at the same time, he also has to show his quality.”
