The little girl who was saved in a hair-raising fall from a building in Hanoi last month was discharged from the Vietnam National Children’s Hospital on Friday after five days of treatment.

Doctor Hoang Hai Duc, head of pediatric orthopedics at the hospital, said the pelvis joint of H., the child patient in question, was fixed and is responding well to treatment, as suggested by X-ray images.

A re-examination for the three-year-old toddler is slated for two or three weeks later.

On Thursday, Duong Thi Minh Thu, head of the hospital’s social work Ddepartment, visited and gave presents to the girl and checked on her family.

The management board of the hospital also directed the department to provide support for the family during the girl’s next check-ups.

On behalf of the family, H.’s mother expressed gratitude toward the treatment that her daughter had received.

Around 5:30 pm on February 28, H. was seen climbing over the balcony on the 12th floor of the apartment building at 60B Nguyen Huy Tuong Street in Thanh Xuan District.

She hung there for a moment before dropping.

The girl was saved by a man, 31-year-old Nguyen Ngoc Manh , who had noticed the situation and dashed up the metal roof of a structure ready to catch her.

Her fall barely missed his arms so she hit the metal roof below before bouncing up, according to what was seen in new videos that surfaced after initial footage of the incident went viral on Facebook.

Manh quickly brought her down to the ground before she was rushed to the hospital with injuries to the pelvis joint.

The man was then praised by the prime minister and the public for his heroic act.

Manh is a delivery worker in Dong Anh District, Hanoi.

Hanoi are rooted to the bottom of the table with two losses in two matches, a shock for the five-time champions.

“We did not have a good start with two defeats. We will have to prepare carefully for every coming match and play well because of the tough format of the tournament,” said coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.

“Our target is the top six first, then we could vie for the title in the second period,” he said.

After the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, Nghiem and his players all tested negative for the coronavirus and returned to training.

They have also welcomed the return of key defenders Tran Dinh Trong and Do Duy Manh after recovery from injuries.

“They both can follow the teams’ training plan. It is a good sign for all of us,” Nghiem told reporters.

He also said that midfielder Moses Oloya who could not play in the previous matches due to a leg injury will be back in action.

Speaking with media, star midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai is excited to play again soon.

“I really hope the pandemic is controlled well for the return of competitions. My club is struggling and under heavy pressure (after losses). We will have to overcome challenges to find ourselves,” he said.

“No one is happy with a loss of course, but we can learn about ourselves from it. We will stand up from where we collapsed and fight back strongly. Nothing could force us to give up our initial target of winning the V.League 1 title and it would be more wonderful if we could conquer the AFC Cup too,” he added.

Hanoi, which recently extended defender Tran Van Kien’s contract to 2023, are now seeking opponents for friendly matches in the coming days.

They will visit Hai Phong FC at Lach Tray Stadium on March 13 when the league restarts.

Time for deep understanding

Thai coach Kiatisuk Senamuang of Hoang Anh Gia Lai believes he understands his players better thanks to the extra preparation time the COVID-19 pause gave them.

“The postponement came reluctantly but personally I think it is good for teams with more time for preparing. I am closer with the players when spending more time with them in both training and daily activities,” he said.

He said the first two rounds of fixtures were like a pre-V.League 1 tournament for teams to test their line-ups, personnel and tactics.

“My players are happy to play again in the next few weeks and grab the best results. We want to take the championship trophy,” said the Thai football legend.

After two matches, Senamuang experienced one win and one loss which put his team in ninth position.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai will host Topenland Binh Dinh on home turf on March 14 and Senamuang hopes to have the stands packed with fans.

In that match, the hosts will face their former striker Rimario Gordon, who failed to score a single goal in 10 matches for HAGL in the 2018 season but netted a solid goal return for Thanh Hoa and Hanoi before signing a contract with Binh Dinh this year.

Gordon has scored one goal in two matches this season and is keen to punish his former team.

Speaking about his team’s preparation, Binh Dinh coach Nguyen Duc Thang said: “Following the new schedule, teams must play in tougher time table (three matches in 10 days). It requires strong physique from players, then teams in general and Binh Dinh, in particular, must have their own plan to make sure players’ best conditions and avoid injuries.”

Hoang Anh Gia Lai will play a friendly match with V.League 2 side People’s Police while Binh Dinh will play V.League 2 Khanh Hoa in Nha Trang before their match in the Central Highlands’ Pleiku City.

Other matches will be between SHB Da Nang and Hong Linh Ha Tinh on March 13, Quang Ninh and HCM City and Viettel and Becamex Binh Duong on March 14.

The league organisers, the Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), has only rescheduled 10 rounds of fixtures for the first half of the league season.

The league will pause again in mid-April when players are summoned for the national teams and some clubs take part in continental competitions.

The season will resume in July and is expected to end in September.

The V.League 2 matches will begin on March 19 while the National Cup will start in April with the exact date being confirmed later.

Local authorities will decide if supporters are allowed to attend matches.  VNS
