After the speculation to leave Viettel for money, midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien recently corrected himself to confirm himself to find a new challenge.
After the 2024/2025 season ended, midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien said goodbye to Viettel's club. The separation is considered to have significant impacts on the forces of the soldier team in the new season. Even the new coach Velizar Popov expressed regret without the service of a very talented player.
However, everything will stop if not spreading rumors about the virtue of 'stopping the shirt' just for money. This forced the player to be born in 1998.

Duc Chien rejected the negative rumors of himself. |
In an interview with FPT Play recently, Duc Chien said he left Viettel to find new challenges and wanted to keep himself the final respect at the old team.
“A lot of people say that I leave for money. But in fact, the level of remuneration in the old team given me is much higher if I stay. I chose to leave because of the thirst and desire for the title, because the bigger goal and the greater ambition is the top 3 as every year,” the SEA Games 30 champion said.
Duc Chien also said that he was looking forward to being able to dedicate the last season and say goodbye to Viettel fans on the pitch. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to do that.
The midfielder also said that after returning from the team's focus, he had received a request to suspend all activities with the team, not even living and participating in any team's activities. Therefore, he took the initiative to apply for 2 months early in the contract with the Viettel Club to leave.
“It is for that reason, I decided to proactively compensate to liquidate the contract for 2 months soon. Not because of sadness, but because I want to keep myself in the final respect and the beautiful memories with a team that I have been attached all the time.” – Duc Chien emphasized.
There are rumors that Duc Chien will join the newly promoted team in Ninh Binh FC in the 2025/26 season. Here he will have the opportunity to meet his former teammate Nguyen Hoang Duc, the player has left many imprints in the promotion journey of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu in the last season.
