Nodley Wright, Gleaner Writer When the Jamaican duo of Kavin Bryan and Andre Fagan return to Vietnam at the start of the V-League's new season, they will do so to much-improved offers and to a new team.
"They have each earned themselves another one-year loan. It involves a loan transfer fee for the club and much-improved personal terms for the players, which includes small bonuses for wins and for goals scored, as well as coverage of accommodation and food," explained their agent Baron 'Mosiah' Marshall, the only Jamaica-based FIFA agent and the man who hammered out the deals.
The two players, who were on loan from local club Harbour View, played major roles, along with countryman Devon Hodges, in guiding Song Lam Nghe An FC to the top of the V-League and making them the club to watch.
"They are megastars in Vietnam. Their speed, power and passion for the game have endeared them to the Vietnamese people, who often mob them seeking autographs and just to be in their presence when they go out," a pleased Marshall said.
Model professionals
The Jamaicans, according to Marshall, were model professionals on and off the field.
"Their personality, easy-going Jamaican swagger, their friendly nature and, most of all, their respect for their club and teammates really spoke volumes about them. There have been no reports of bad behaviour about them from their club. They don't violate curfews, they train hard, are always on time and give 100 per cent in matches. The only thing that brought displeasure from Song Lam Nghe An FC was the fact that they have left", he added.
It was their success and professionalism which made them a target for other clubs, which were prepared to enter a bidding war for their services. In the end, it was Hai Phong FC which won.
"Hai Phong FC struggled to avoid relegation which is not good for a club that only a couple years ago recruited famous Brazilian footballer Denilson, once the world record signing, to the V-League. They consider themselves one of the big players. They put in the best offer for the players, so what we had to do was to make sure all the parties were satisfied and all the details worked out," explained Marshall, who while not willing to give figures, said the players are happy.
Home-sickness and food, the concerns of most Jamaicans who travel abroad, were not and will not be problems for his clients, Marshall said.
"The players were very comfortable moving around town and immersing themselves in Vietnamese society. As you can imagine, they were not hard to miss, so their fans were delighted to see them at the mall or wherever.
I think the food was perhaps the hardest thing to get used to, but they're managing to eat heartily! They tried a few Vietnamese words and phrases whenever they can. I think they can all count to 10 in Vietnamese. I think that is admirable!" said Marshall.
