During a year with PSV in the Netherlands, Lee Nguyen was a teammate of Patrick Kluivert and many football stars in the world.
Lee Nguyen started his career in the United States in the Dallas Texans club. He was named the best high school player in the United States. By 2006, Lee joined the Indiana University soccer team and was voted Best Student Player in the United States. He then moved to play for PSV Eindhoven, a famous Dutch team then led by coach Guus Hiddink.
Here, Lee Nguyen became teammate with the legendary Patrick Kluivert who was on the other side of his career slope but got 3 goals after 13 appearances for PSV. In his glorious career, he has scored 245 goals in 547 appearances, honored as one of Barcelona's greatest legends.
In addition to Patrick Kluivert, Lee Nguyen also has the opportunity to play with many other famous stars such as center-back Alex, Ibrahim Afellay, Jefferson Farfan, Carlos Vela (LAFC) or Phillip Cocu. They are all familiar names for Vietnamese football fans.
Lee Nguyen is possible coming back to V-League when pursued by the HCMC club. He used to have 3 years of playing in HAGL and Becamex Binh Duong.
Lee said: "Vietnamese players are quick and have very skillful feet. Playing football in V-League is not easy. You have to chase and get the ball all the time. It is terrible that it happens again under the hot weather in Southeast Asia. 90 minutes can be very long for you.”
Lee Nguyen, 34, is still considered to be the top MLS midfielder. His presence promises to significantly improve the face in the midfield of the HCMC club.
