International career

In the second leg of the semifinals of the 2016 AFF Championship against Indonesia Nguyên Mạnh caused controversy when he kicked out at an Indonesian player who had bundled him over during a corner kick. Referee Fu Ming showed Nguyên Mạnh a straight red card and Vietnam were forced to put Quế Ngọc Hải in goal as they had already made all three substitutions.[2] A month later Nguyên Mạnh was fined US$1,000 by the AFC and would be barred from playing in any of the 2019 AFC qualifying matches.[3]

Personal life

In March 2016 Nguyên Mạnh married Phương Chi in a private ceremony. The two had been in a relationship for six years up to that point, before Nguyên Mạnh had even started playing for Sông Lam Nghệ An.[4]
