Player Tuan Anh officially leaves Hoang Anh Gia Lai

Coach Vu Tien Thanh confirmed that midfielder Nguyen Tuan Anh has decided to leave Hoang Anh Gia Lai to find a new destination, most likely Nam Dinh club.

"Tuan Anh has made the final decision to leave Hoang Anh Gia Lai," said coach Vu Tien Thanh, at the same time assessing this as a disadvantage for the mountain town team because Tuan Anh is a quality player and has influence with the captain's armband.

However, according to Mr. Thanh, the departure will give midfielder Tuan Anh the opportunity to develop himself. "I hope Tuan Anh can develop his full potential at the new team," coach Vu Tien Thanh said.

Tuan Anh was born in 1995, joined Hoang Anh Gia Lai at the age of 12 and grew up from the Hoang Anh Gia Lai Arsenal JMG training center. Mr. Duc considered him the most outstanding talent among the first class students of the academy.

Having been with the team for 17 years, including 10 consecutive years playing in the V-League, Tuan Anh has devoted his youth and passion to the team from the Mountain City. However, at the age of 29, he still has not won any national titles with the team.

If nothing changes, Tuan Anh will join Nam Dinh club, after Thanh Nam team soon approached to invite this midfielder to play with his old teammates at Hoang Anh Gia Lai such as Van Toan and Hong Duy.

Indonesian newspaper points out 'pressure is weighing heavily on coach Troussier's shoulders'

Indonesia's Super Ball website just posted an article about coach Troussier wanting to call up 60 players to prepare for the match against Indonesia.

Writer Eko Isdiyanto commented: "Coach Troussier will call up 60 players currently playing in the country to prepare for two matches against Indonesia in the World Cup qualifiers. These two matches are very important for the Vietnamese team and Philippe Troussier, especially after the failure at the 2023 Asian Cup. Coach Troussier certainly needs to restore the fans' trust in him as the head coach of the Vietnamese team.

Meanwhile, for the Vietnamese team, the defeat against Indonesia in the 2023 Asian Cup has caused their image as the strongest team in Southeast Asia to collapse. This image must be restored and the only way to do that is for the Vietnamese team to be able to defeat Indonesia in the next two meetings. Therefore, coach Troussier has prepared carefully for the huge pressure on the shoulders of the man from France."

According to this reporter, despite careful preparation, coach Troussier will still face many difficulties against coach Shin Tae-yong and his team.

"Mr. Troussier understands that he faces a lot of pressure, not only from Vietnamese fans but also from the enthusiastic fans at Bung Karno Stadium. Not to mention that the team nicknamed Garuda (Indonesia team) will be strengthened by adding a number of naturalized players."

Former MU star causes surprise when becoming a coach at the age of 34

On March 10, Watford's board of directors announced the sacking of coach Valerien Ismael immediately after the 1-2 home defeat to Coventry City in round 37 of the Championship. Cleverley became the interim coach of this team.

At 34, Cleverley only retired last year and has almost no coaching experience in top-flight football. The former Manchester United midfielder is also considered too young to steer Watford during this difficult period.

Unlike many other former MU players like Rooney or Carrick, Cleverley has no experience in youth team or leading the first team in professional football.

The fact that the former player born in 1989 went from "zero" to leading Watford in the Championship is considered an "extremely risky" move by the club at Vicarage Road.

La Liga boss confirms Mbappe is now a Real player

The current president of La Liga is absolutely certain that Kylian Mbappe will wear the royal white shirt of Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.

In a recent interview with Movistar+, the head of La Liga said: “Yes, I was really convinced about this deal. Now it seems certain that he will not continue his career at PSG and in Europe there are very few teams that can afford to sign him.”

“Moreover, I see that the transfer market in England has slowed down, everything is leaning towards Mbappe's future being at a Spanish team. And in La Liga, only Real Madrid can afford to sign him.”

“I can almost say that this is certain. In my opinion, there is more than 99% chance that Mbappe will play for Real Madrid from next season,” Tebas affirmed.

Barcelona is also said to be eyeing Mbappe, but the Catalan club has not yet escaped the financial crisis, so the "Royal Spanish" team is the only option if Mbappe comes to La Liga. On the other hand, the French striker also loves the Royal team and idolized Ronaldo since he was a child./.
