4 "dangers" for Vietnam National Team at King's Cup; Son Heung-min sets a terrible record

Incheon United coach makes hot statement about Cong Phuong after shocking loss

Incheon United need a win to regain their spirit, after losing 5 consecutive matches under coach Andersen. Assistant Lim Jung Yong was chosen to replace him, and hosting the much weaker Cheongju is an opportunity for Incheon to make amends with the fans.

Notably, Cong Phuong was placed in the starting lineup with the Incheon squad, which is considered a priority for the Vietnamese striker to be able to promote his strengths in small coordination, delicate handling, seizing opportunities,...Cong Phuong played behind the trio Kim Seung Young (18), Nam Joon Jae (7) and Ji Eon Hak (27), instead of in the center forward position as coach Andersen had previously used.

However, CP23 played poorly, showing weakness in the ball disputes with the opponent players who were bigger and stronger. Therefore, Coach Park's favorite student was substituted right at halftime.In the remaining half without Cong Phuong, Incheon was also unable to find a goal, accepting a 0-1 loss to Cheongju, also the 6th consecutive defeat of this team.

After the match, before the question related to Cong Phuong at Incheon United, interim coach Lim Jung Yong spoke up to clarify about replacing the Vietnamese striker in the shocking loss against Cheongju:

"Cong Phuong is obviously necessary for Incheon United. I am still thinking about which position he should play to maximize his ability.In this match against Cheongju, I put Cong Phuong to play as an attacking midfielder, not a striker. However, he probably had some difficulty because he was not used to it, so I had to take him out.Cong Phuong is still in the process of needing further guidance. I will think and find a way for Cong Phuong to integrate into Incheon United's playing style."

Barca prepares to welcome another Ajax star to Camp Nou

Barcalona are close to reaching an agreement with Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, a Camp Nou source told ESPN. According to the source, Barca are in control of the De Ligt deal. They do not want to leak information early because they do not want to be disappointed like last summer, when Antoine Griezmann rejected them at the last minute.

Juventus and Bayern Munich are both interested in De Ligt, but the Dutchman only “wants to listen to offers from Barca.” Like the De Jong deal, Ajax will notify Barca if any other club makes a serious move for De Ligt. If nothing changes, De Ligt will follow De Jong to Camp Nou this summer. De Ligt’s value is considered by Barca to be equivalent to the €75 million contract for his teammate.
