Quế Ngá»Âc Hải (born 15 May 1993) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back and captain for V.League 1 club SHB ÃÂàNẵng. He is considered one of the best defenders in Southeast Asia history.
Ngá»Âc Hải represented Vietnam at under-19 and under-23 level before making his full international debut in September 2014. He captained the Vietnam national during many years.
In the 25th round of the 2015 V-League between Sông Lam Nghá» An and SHB ÃÂàNẵng, SHB ÃÂàNẵng midfielder Trần Anh Khoa was fouled by Quế Ngá»Âc Hải of Sông Lam Nghá» An. Hải two-footed Khoa, hitting him in the knee. Khoa was unable to continue playing and was taken off the field on a stretcher. Khoa's injury was diagnosed as very serious and he had to travel to Singapore for surgery. Doctors estimated that he would need to rest for one year and had only a 50% chance of returning to the field. After the match, Hải was penalized by the VFF: he was banned from playing for six months and was ordered to pay for all of Khoa's medical expenses. The amount that Hải had to pay Khoa was around 800 million ÃÂá»Âng.
On 17 December 2015, after SHB ÃÂàNẵng provided detailed costs of Anh Khoa's surgery, travel, medicine, etc., totaling 834 million ÃÂá»Âng, Quế Ngá»Âc Hải and a representative of Sông Lam Nghá» An handed over the money in cash to Anh Khoa. Of the above money, 400 million ÃÂá»Âng was donated by ÃÂoàn Nguyên ÃÂức (Bầu ÃÂức), 70 million ÃÂá»Âng came from donations from the Sông Lam Nghá» An fan club, and the rest was provided by the sponsors of Sông Lam Nghá» An. This foul effectively ended Trần Anh Khoa's professional football career.
Ngá»Âc Hải was born in Diá» n Châu District. At an early age, due to financial difficulties, he moved to Vinh, where his parents made a living as fruit sellers. Ngá»Âc Hải and his older brother Ngá»Âc Mạnh are very close and attended the Sông Lam Nghá» An football academy together. Ngá»Âc Mạnh suffered a serious knee injury however, and with little money the family had to rely on Ngá»Âc Hải to work hard and become professional, both to provide for his family and pay for his brothers surgery.
After scoring the opening goal against Indonesia in the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup Ngá»Âc Hải lifted his shirt to reveal a picture of Nguyá» n Hữu Thắng to thank his former coach for the opportunities he gave him.
