Barca confirms contact to invite Messi

"We have contacted Messi's team. Leo knows how much we appreciate him. I want to see Messi back here," transfer expert Fabrizio Romano quoted Yuste on March 31.

After leaving Barca, Messi signed a 2-year contract with PSG and his contract will expire this summer. PSG believes they will convince Messi to stay. But the 35-year-old striker is receiving many offers. If he returns to Barca, Messi will realize the wishes of himself and his old club.

"Messi and his family know my feelings for them. I have participated in negotiations, but unfortunately there are no concrete results," Yuste said, admitting that he feels very sad to see the Argentine striker playing for another club.

The Barca vice president also revealed that he was one of the people involved in negotiations to keep Messi two years ago but failed. "I still remember the sadness of letting Messi leave the club. Of course, he loves the club and the city. I hope to find the right situation so that Messi can continue to write history here," Yuste said.

The possibility of Coach Park returning to V.League has new details

According to this information, from the Tuoi Tre newspaper, a leader of the Hanoi Police Club said that the team had a conversation with Coach Park about his plan to lead the team. The Hanoi Police Club also emphasized that Coach Park Hang-seo or assistant Lee Young Jin are just some of the options the team is preparing in case of changing the "captain". Coach Park Hang-seo responded in the conversation that if he did, he would only want to take on the position of Technical Director. If he were to lead the team, he would nominate assistant Lee Young Jin as head coach.

Regarding the possibility of Coach Park Hang-seo and assistant Lee Young Jin returning to V.League, conflicting opinions from football fans were discussed enthusiastically on social networks, including the Football fanpage system. Many opinions were excited about the prospect of the most successful coach of the Vietnam National Team testing his skills at a V.League club. On the contrary, some opinions wanted Coach Park Hang-seo to rest for a while, focusing on the plan to open a Football Academy in Vietnam as he shared not long ago.

Also related to this story, a football expert commented: "If Mr. Lee Young Jin comes to Hanoi Police Club, I think the playing style will be more about ball control and proactive attack. Hanoi Police Club is not inferior to any team, it is the top team in V.League so it will be more about attack."

Arsenal wins March Premier League award

Last month, Arsenal won all 4 matches, helping the "Gunners" firmly hold the top position with 69 points, 8 points more than Man City but played 1 more match. Thanks to that, Arteta became the best coach of the Premier League in March. The Spanish coach has been honored for the 4th time this season, after August, November/December and January 2023.

Arteta's achievement is just behind Jurgen Klopp's record of 5 times receiving the best manager award of the month, set during Liverpool's 2019-20 Premier League winning season. Arteta can break this record as there are still 2 months left in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Saka was named Player of the Month. The English winger started the month with a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Everton at the Emirates, and finished with two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace. As a result, Saka became the first player to reach 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season, with 12 goals and 10 assists.

Arsenal completed a hat-trick of individual awards when Ramsdale was named Save of the Month. The England goalkeeper received the award for his diving save from Dango Ouattara's close-range shot in the 21st minute of the match against Bournemouth, when Arsenal were trailing 1-0. Arsenal won the match 3-2 thanks to Reiss Nelson's cross-angle shot in the 7th minute of added time.
