French club coach tells newly signed Vietnam midfielder to be patient
"It would be unrealistic to expect Quang Hai to put on a superb performance and achieve excellence in his first year at Pau FC. He has just joined the club and will have to learn many new things. Quang Hai also needs time to adapt since he's from abroad. I think he should be patient and not worry too much about how many games he will get to play," Tholot said Thursday. Quang Hai passed his medical Wednesday and signed a two-year contract with Pau FC. A day later, he had his first training session with the new club and an introductory press conference. Hai is the first-ever Vietnamese player to compete in a pro football league in France. Nguyen Quang Hai in his first training session with Pau FC on June 30, 2022.

And it is not just breakfast. The 40-year-old Hanoian has specific menus for every meal of the day, typically containing a vegetable soup and two dishes. Eggs, tofu, peanuts, dried fish, and meat are part of them, but Tien insists that a meal for his family of four must not cost more than VND50,000 (US$2.15). The food is so monotonous that their youngest son, who is in third grade, frequently complains, "The meal at school is better than at home." Tien’s standard response is that he had to eat rice with corn and potatoes when he was a teenager, and so his children should be grateful for having "an affluent life." The family members cannot buy more than two new clothes in a year. When Minh asked to buy a new dress to wear on a company trip, he complained for a week because "there are four dresses hanging in the closet." Neither of their families faces any financial hardship and they themselves earn around VND40 million a month, which is much higher than the VND7.2-million … [Read more...] about When people go to extreme lengths to save money
