According to Globo Esporte Futebol, the club claimed Andrey had two physical problems, as shown in two separate medical examinations. However, a medical report signed by a doctor from the Vietnamese national team contradicted this claim. Andrey, a 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder, had previously been signed by the club but was released after refusing to sign a contract that would have allowed Vietnamese agents to manage his career in Asian football. A medical report later found Andrey to be fit for football, and the FIFA considered the club's unilateral termination of his contract as unjustified. This led to the FIFA imposing a transfer ban on the Vietnamese club.
