Tuan was standing near the players when the whole stadium had to listen to the long speeches, and claimed to have heard what Hart and Vinh said to each other.
“Joe Hart asked Le Cong Vinh why those on the podiums were speaking for so long, and whether the speakers knew of the tired legs of the players,” Tuan said.
The Vietnamese striker replied by advising the goalie to “keep calm and do the warm-up again as the speech is long and more will come."
“Hart then exclaimed ‘Oh my God!’ and said if only he had prepared a mattress to rest on the pitch, making other Manchester City and Vietnamese players burst into laughter,” Tuan revealed.
It is not common for speeches and flower giving formalities to take place before a football match in the world.
So the BBC implied it was a waste to give flowers to the players, as they obviously could not keep them.
The game finally kicked off at around 8:20 pm.
