Chinese media wait for home team to win against Vietnam; Cristiano Ronaldo chooses retirement date

Chinese media wait for home team to win against Vietnam

Before the rematch with the Vietnamese team, many Chinese newspapers hope that the home team will win against coach Philippe Troussier and his team.

Today (October 10), the Chinese national team will have their first friendly match with the Vietnamese national team in the FIFA Days series taking place in October. This is the first time the two teams meet again after the Chinese national team's defeat at My Dinh Stadium in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup. For that reason, the press of the billion-people country hopes that the home team will be able to "take revenge" on the Vietnamese national team after the loss on February 1 last year.

Sohu newspaper wrote: “After losing 1-3 to Vietnam in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, the Chinese national team has made a major change by firing coach Li Tie and adding promising young faces to the national team. Although the Chinese national team has a history of confrontation superior to the Vietnamese national team, Vietnam is no longer a weak team in Southeast Asia. If the Chinese national team loses another match, there is really nothing to explain the defeat."

Indonesia had a draw, Malaysia was eliminated

In the second round of the 2024 Asian Futsal Championship qualifiers, the Indonesian futsal team had an unbelievable draw against Afghanistan after being down by 5 goals. Meanwhile, Malaysia's dream of participating in the finals went up in smoke.

Another Southeast Asian team that followed Vietnam to the finals was Myanmar. Accordingly, the 5-2 victory over India helped this team have 2 wins like Tajikistan to share the top 2 positions in Group E. The two teams behind, India and Palestine, lost both, so the 2 tickets to the finals of this group belonged to Myanmar and Tajikistan.

Cristiano Ronaldo has chosen the date to retire from his career.

Before joining the Portuguese national team, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke with the Board of Directors of Al Nassr Club and announced his plan to retire from his illustrious playing career.

Before joining the Portuguese national team, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to the Al Nassr Board of Directors and announced his plans to retire from his illustrious playing career. According to Saudi Arabian journalist Ali Al Harbi, CR7 wants to extend his contract until early 2027, the year he will definitely say goodbye to football.

The Portuguese star has set his sights on the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Mexico, the United States and Canada. “Ronaldo wants to play in the 2026 World Cup as a player for Al Nassr and then announce his retirement from football,” Al Harbi stressed.

Onana is a disaster, should MU re-sign De Gea?

With Andre Onana playing extremely poorly, many fans have been begging the club to re-sign David de Gea. But should the Red Devils do this?

Last summer, MU had to spend 47 million pounds to buy Onana from Inter Milan. The reason coach Ten Hag decided to buy the Cameroon international is because he wants his team to build a style of play starting from the goalkeeper position.

However, when he could not contribute to MU's ability to build up the play, Onana continuously made mistakes in recent matches. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has not shown his strongest ability, which is passing ability, while showing poor ball catching skills.

Accordingly, Onana could not save the goals that were not too difficult. With a goalkeeper of his caliber, the number of goals MU conceded should not have been so many (19 goals in 11 matches).
