With 40 gold medals, only Tien Linh is “unique”
The story of the gold medal is Tien Linh’s “unique Bình dương” attracted a lot of attention from fans. Instead of the gold-plated medal with the words “Champion”, the medal received by striker number 22 of the Vietnamese team, although it was also gold-plated, bore the words “Finalist”.
This was shared by Tien Linh in a special interview with SCTV TV channel, in which club captain Binh Duong shared his wish that “if it is kept, the defective gold medal will be auctioned “.
Specifically, Tien Linh said: “At first, when receiving Linh, she did not pay attention to the words but only to the gold medal sent by the organizers to the champions.
But after posting it on social media, Linh received comments from friends and realized that it was a fairly rare gold medal in Southeast Asian football .
When asking 40 Vietnamese teammates and team members, with more than 40 gold medals, only Linh has this special medal.
-Can Tien Linh auction off the “unique” gold medal?
At the same time, Tien Linh also shared: “Linh informed VFF so that he can exchange the medal for a better one. Linh also asked VFF and AFF to keep this medal so that it can be auctioned at the Red Cross and the Vietnam National Front Committee.
It is known that through VFF, Tien Linh’s request was forwarded to the 2024 AFF Cup Organizing Committee. The 2024 AFF Cup Organizing Committee apologized and responded that it would receive a real gold medal like the remaining 39 gold medals of the Vietnamese team.
At the same time, the organizers of the 2024 AFF Cup also announced that they would recall the faulty gold medal, before producing a new gold medal for Tien Linh. This process will take time, so it is likely that after the Lunar New Year, striker Binh Duong will receive the organizers “to return the gold medal to me.”
Thus, the “VHC” plate with the words “runner-up” will not be next to Tien Linh, so he will not be able to sell it at auction as initially planned.
