Lê Tấn Tài (born January 4, 1984) is a Vietnamese footballer, and the captain of the Vietnam national football team, where he plays as a Central Midfielder. He is currently playing for Becamex Bình Dương in the V.League 1.
International career
Tan Tai, along with other Vietnam national team members, attended Vietnam's first AFC Asian Cup in 2007 that was hosted in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In 2008, he helped Vietnam win their first ever AFF Championship trophy.
Since Henrique Calisto comes in charge of the national team, Tai is moved to play in the more central role in the midfield. He plays as the highest midfielder in Calisto's one-striker system.
After the 2014 AFF Championship, Tan Tai announced his retirement from international football.[1]
