Midfielder Nguyen Van Quyet has been cut from the national team’s March summons, according to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).

The VFF yesterday released an announcement citing Quyet’s poor behavior during the V.League’s fourth round match between his team, Ha Noi T&T, and Sanna Khanh Hoa on Saturday.

Quyet was one of several players who did not agree with a decision by referee Hoang Pham Cong Khanh. He pushed Khanh, who fell, and received a red card.

On the field, Quyet continued to show a disrespectful attitude towards Khanh’s decision.

As result, Quyet will not practice with the national team, who will then compete against Chinese Taipei and Iraq during their 2018 World Cup qualifier later this month.
