2 Vietnamese players join First Division team

Saying goodbye to Hai Phong and Hanoi, Martin Lo and Ryan Ha joined PVF-Cong An Nhan Dan Club to participate in the First Division 2024/2025.

According to Tri Thuc - Znews, Martin Lo and Ryan Ha signed contracts with PVF-Cong An Nhan Dan Club a few days ago. The salaries and contract terms of the two overseas Vietnamese players were not disclosed. Along with Martin and Ryan, PVF-Cong An Nhan Dan also signed a contract with midfielder Nguyen Huy Hung.

Martin, Ryan and Huy Hung arrived at the team's headquarters in Hung Yen and attended the first training session on the afternoon of August 5 to get acquainted with their new teammates.

PVF- People's Public Security, formerly known as Pho Hien Club, is playing in the First Division. This is also the first destination for Martin Lo when he returned to Vietnam. His good debut in Pho Hien helped him catch the eye of coach Park Hang-seo, and he was called up to the Vietnam U23 team to play a friendly match against Myanmar U23 in 2019.

MU benefits when Juventus sells 8 players

Corriere dello Sport reports that Juventus insiders were shocked when new coach Thiago Motta publicly dropped eight players from the club's pre-season squad. The stars who were left out include Federico Chiesa, Wojciech Szczesny, Arthur Melo, Weston McKennie, Daniele Rugani, Mattia De Sciglio, Filip Kostic and Hans Nicolussi-Caviglia.

Among them, Chiesa, Szczesny, McKennie and Kostic used to play extremely important roles at the "Old Lady" and still maintain good form.

Chiesa, the most sought-after name among the Juventus stars who were put up for sale, no longer even appears on the team's official shirt number list. His number 7 shirt has also been removed from Juventus' official sales page. The move from the "Old Lady" of Turin opens up a great opportunity for Manchester United.

According to the Guardian, the "Red Devils" leadership is particularly interested in Chiesa, believing that this winger can help strengthen the Manchester club's attack in the 2024/25 season.

In the context of MU's attack still being in disarray before the new season, Chiesa's presence will bring many new things. In addition to Chiesa, MU is also considering two other stars on the above list, including McKennie and Kostic.

If McKennie will be a quality option to help MU thicken the midfield, then Kostic plays well in both the defender and left midfielder positions, a position that gave coach Ten Hag a headache last season.

18 V-League football team players skip training due to debt of nearly 17 billion VND

On August 5, many Thanh Hoa Club players posted a complaint to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), the Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee and the home team regarding the fact that they were owed 16.6 billion VND.

This amount includes 3 months' salary of 2024, bonuses for the 2023 and 2023-2024 seasons, and a signing bonus for half of the 2023-2024 season.

Many players of the Thanh team have signed this complaint, including key players such as: Thanh Diep, A Mit, Tien Thanh, Gustavo, Ngoc Tan, Van Loi, Hoang Thai Binh and Nguyen Thanh Long.

“Currently, the new season is about to start but the club has not paid salaries, signing bonuses and bonuses as promised. For the above reasons, we have decided to temporarily suspend training until the above issues are resolved," the group of 18 Thanh Hoa players expressed. In fact, the problem of Thanh Hoa Club having financial difficulties has happened before. But up to now, the players have officially filed a complaint with the hope of getting the money they deserve.

In the 2023/2024 season, Thanh Hoa FC had a good start but then they were left behind in the championship race. In the end, the team led by coach Popov finished 8th with 35 points. However, the Thanh team still won the National Cup title when defeating Hanoi FC in the final.

In the 2024/2025 season, Thanh Hoa Club will participate in 3 tournaments: Southeast Asian Club Cup, V-League and National Cup 2024/2025./.
