Vietnam 2

Đỗ Duy Mạnh (Hà Nội T&T FC, Vietnam)
vs. Manchester City (1:8), friendly 2015 in Vietnam

Xin lỗi Đỗ Duy Mạnh! (Vietnamese for Sorry Do Duy Manh!). I know, this must feel bad for you Do Duy, but the shirt you swapped with Edin meant less to you than his shirt surely meant for you. That is the hard reality of the modern arrogant superstar, who does not value your friendly gift.

Đỗ Duy Mạnh swapping his shirt with Edin Džeko after the match

After the depicted swap was completed, Edin Dzeko, the Bosnian striker of Man City, went to his kitman and just passed on the Vietnam shirt of Mr Manh to him. What a cruelty! That very kitman, even worse, sold it to an English lad who is selling shirts of sources like the said kitman. And not even he wanted Manh suit! He sold it on to me.
But, don't worry Do Duy, I promise that your shirt finally found a caring home and will not be passed around any further! I love your shirt and I am really happy to finally have another matchworn Vietnamese shirt, even though it is "just" from a friendly match against the heartless overpaid Bosnian and his equally overpaid mates, who, adding to the pain, destroyed you when they visited your beautiful country.

So, ultimately, Cảm ơn bạn Đỗ Duy Mạnh! (Vietnamese for "Thank you Do Duy Manh!") and thanks to Richard, the last man in the chain, who sold it to me. A lovely piece of polyester, indeed!
