Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, "firefighting" expert

Twice "jumped into fire",Coach Nguyen Thanh Conghave all been successful in helping their teams achieve high rankings. Now, once again, the coach from Nghe An has been given the hot seat in Quang Nam.

Quang Nam has just followed Thanh Hoa, HAGL changed the head coach. This is not too surprising because the Quang Nam team has continuously lost and is stuck at the bottom of the table. Now, with only 4 matches left,Quang Namforced to make changes to hope to escape from relegation. Accordingly, Quang Nam has decided to appoint coach Nguyen Thanh Cong to replace coach Dao Quang Hung. Mr. Thanh Cong's task is to help Quang Nam play better, to light up the hope of staying in the league.

Coach Thanh Cong once helped Saigon FC and Thanh Hoa escape danger.

This is the third time coach Nguyen Thanh Cong has been invited by teams in the red light group to lead. In mid-2018, when Saigon FC was struggling at the bottom of the rankings, Mr. Thanh Cong was appointed as head coach to replace Phan Van Tai Em. And from being a team at high risk of relegation, Saigon FC unexpectedly played extremely well under the leadership of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong and then ended the season in 8th place, even above famous teams such as SHB.DN, HAGL. AfterV.League2019 ended, Mr. Thanh Cong said goodbye to Saigon FC with the achievement of helping the team get 5th place overall.

By the beginning of this year, “welder” Thanh Cong had helped Thanh Hoa move from the bottom of the table after losing the first 3 consecutive matches in V.League under his predecessor Fabio Lopez to 8th place. But then, Thanh Hoa, without coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, only got 1 point after the last 2 rounds of phase 1, leading to losing the top 8 position (which means early relegation).

Simply put, Mr. Thanh Cong is no different from a fire-fighting expert for teams in danger. Now it is Quang Nam's turn to invite Coach Thanh Cong to lead and the task ahead will be very heavy when the teamTam Ky Stadiumis 4 points behind the team above Hai Phong, while the team has only 4 matches left.

Robinho joins his old club Santos with an unbelievable salary

The once-famous star Robinho has just officially returned to Santos. This is his third return to his childhood team.

A few hours ago, Santos Club announced the successful recruitment of former Real Madrid and Man City striker, Robinho. "Robinho is back. He has agreed to a 5-month contract to start his 4th period with Santos," quoted from the announcement of the Brazilian team.

Robinho's contract with Santos runs until February 2021 with an option to extend until December 2022. The former Man City and Real Madrid striker joins the Brazilian club on a free transfer, having previously left Turkish club İstanbul Basaksehir.

Robinho joined his old club Santos.

This is the fourth time in his career that Robinho has worn Santos' shirt. The player, once nicknamed "Little Pele", grew up in the club's training academy. He played for the first team from 2002 to 2005. In 2005, Robinho moved to Real Madrid.

During his time playing across Europe and Asia, Robinho returned to Santos in 2010, 2014–2015 and at present.

According to Brazilian media, Robinho only receives a symbolic salary of 1,500 reais (230 euros) per month, slightly higher than the minimum wage in Brazil. The reason is that the team is facing economic difficulties.

However, the 36-year-old striker's salary will increase significantly when Santos activates an extension clause until December 2022, when the initial 5-month contract expires.

Mr. Duc sells Cong Phuong to HCMC: Not just for money

It is not easy for Mr. Duc to sell Cong Phuong to Ho Chi Minh City Club, but if he agrees, the owner of the mountain town team will not only get money but also gain more reputation...

In theory, the loan agreementCong PhuongThe match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and HAGL is still about a month away. But the injury may keep him out for the rest of the season, so it seems like the day has come to return.

It can be seen that Cong Phuong really does not want to return to the Mountain City when he is entangled with family matters, business... even the living environment in Ho Chi Minh City is much more suitable than Pleiku.

But most importantly, the Nghe An striker's lack of interest in returning to HAGL is still due to his expertise. Everyone can see that Cong Phuong has improved and become more complete after a few months of joining.Ho Chi Minh City Clubthrough the number of goals and passes in 11 matches at V-League.

Not to mention, at Ho Chi Minh City Club, the striker that Mr. Duc loves the most also receives a very high salary (rumored to be hundreds of millions of VND/month), so it is difficult for Cong Phuong to return to Mr. Duc happily, even though the feelings are still there.

Cong Phuong is really happy at Ho Chi Minh City Club.

With talent, brand, sky-high salary and the remaining training contract with HAGL at this time, Cong Phuong is valued at more than 100 billion VND if he wants the service of the striker from Nghe An.

But that is the case of calculating compensation for the remaining 3 years of training contract withMr. Duc, HAGL. When this striker turns 28, I'm afraid things will be very different.

Saying that does not mean Mr. Duc lacks money to need to sell Cong Phuong, on the contrary, the owner of the mountain town team needs the striker from Nghe An more than ever, not only now but also in the future.

Mr. Duc does not want to sell Cong Phuong, simply because the owner of the mountain town football team wants this striker to become an icon at Pleiku stadium, as well as a businessman to follow him after retirement.

However, Mr. Duc probably needs to give Cong Phuong a new path, a better future instead of playing for his "playing for fun" team. The striker's talentVietnam teamIt is difficult to fly high if continuing to play for HAGL in the context that Mr. Duc is still not "passionate" about football again.

Therefore, Mr. Duc releasing Cong Phuong early will be the foundation for his most beloved striker to fly high in his career, thereby contributing more strength to the Vietnamese team towards the World Cup, a goal that the football boss has achieved all his life.HAGLpursue.
