   ❖    Tapescript
  The Vietnamese Milk Company (Vinamilk) has offered jobs to the 27 members of Vietnamese Women's Football Team after they won the the Games’ record title .Perhaps they are going to be milkmaids when they retire. It is not an odd proposal because the majority of the footballers will become unemployed when the Games are over. And they now have to struggle to make ends meet. Vinamilk has promised to train their new employees as soon as the deal is signed. The goalkeeper of Vietnamese Women’s Football Team is dreaming to run a café after doctors have said her injuries would stop her from playing ever again. At the moment, she is short of money, so the Vinamilk offer looks tempting to her.
