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 been involved in negotiations, but unfortunately there have been no concrete results," Yuste said, admitting that he felt 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 this club and this city. I hope to find the right situation for Messi to continue writing his history here," Yuste said.

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

According to this information, from 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 have been discussed enthusiastically on social networks, including the Football fanpage system. Many opinions are 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 want 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. This is the 4th time the Spanish coach has been honored this season, after August, November/December and January 2023.

Arteta's achievement is only one short of Jurgen Klopp's record of five Manager of the Month awards, set during Liverpool's 2019-20 Premier League title winning season. Arteta could break this record as there are still two 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. 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 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 stoppage time.
