Everything at HAGL was really hard, hard like when I couldn't have a professional contract in Russia. In Vietnam, at least I have relatives.

But when I had to move to Laos (playing for Hoang Anh Attapeu), I didn't know anyone. Everything was new, from the language, the culture, the way of life ... It was really a time of despair for me. I felt very bad. I even thought about giving up football and going back to school ”- according to Zing.
