Dutch Vietnamese was substituted after 20 minutes.
On the afternoon of March 5, Dutch player Thomas Mai Veeren only played 20 minutes in the match.U17 Vietnam won 3-0 U17 PVF-CAND.
The practice match took place at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. Dutch-born player Thomas Mai Veeren was on the bench and was brought on in the 24th minute. However, after only 20 minutes of play, Thomas was let go by coach Cristiano Roland.
In the controlled game of U17 Vietnam, Thomas had almost no chance to touch the ball, although this player moved very actively. This was Thomas' first match after more than a week of training with U17 Vietnam. Therefore, the Dutch player did not really get along with his teammates.
A regrettable farewell for coach Tran Minh Chien
Coach Tran Minh Chien officially said goodbye to Quang Ninh Club, ending a journey full of passion.
In his farewell message, coach Tran Minh Chien sent his gratitude: "Thank you and wish the Quang Ninh football team, especially the leaders and fans, a successful season."
This farewell leaves many regrets for Coach Tran Minh Chien. However, with his talent and experience, Coach Tran Minh Chien will soon have a new destination and continue to contribute to Vietnamese football.
Talking about Coach Tran Minh Chien, fans all remember the historic moment – the golden volley against Myanmar, bringing Vietnam to the final of the 18th SEA Games in 1995. That goal not only had an important meaning but also became a familiar symbol in VTV's sports programs, a testament to Coach Tran Minh Chien's influence on Vietnamese football.
Despite retiring early, Tran Minh Chien continues to be involved in football as a coach. Tran Minh Chien is an important factor in youth training at PVF, contributing to the production of talents such as Ha Duc Chinh and Bui Tien Dung.
In 2018, Coach Tran Minh Chien switched to professional coaching, leading Binh Duong Club to win the National Cup. After that, Coach Tran Minh Chien continued to leave his mark at Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club, Ho Chi Minh City Club and Kon Tum Club, before landing at Quang Ninh Club.
A big turning point for coach Park Hang Seo
Coach Park Hang Seo will likely soon enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Vietnamese professional football.
That is what is expected to happen, when Bac Ninh FC - the million dollar club is gradually getting closer to the professional playground.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan has officially joined Bac Ninh FC as Technical Director and Head Coach, replacing Coach Ngo Quang Truong, who will take on a new position in the team. Bac Ninh FC confirmed: “For the common good and development of Bac Ninh FC in the coming period, Mr. Ngo Quang Truong will take on a new position. We wish him success in his new position and continue to accompany the team in the future.”
Bac Ninh FC once attracted attention when signing a 5-year contract with coach Park Hang Seo as a senior advisor. This team almost won a ticket to play in the First Division when it regretfully stopped against the Ho Chi Minh City youth team after a penalty shootout. That also means that coach Park Hang Seo has not been able to experience the atmosphere of professional football in Vietnam in his new position.
Liverpool beat PSG in crazy match
In the early morning of March 6, PSG shot 27 times, 10 of which were on target, but still lost 0-1 to Liverpool, a club that only had 1 shot on target in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
At the Parc des Princes, Liverpool fans witnessed something that rarely happens this season, which is the Merseyside team being suffocated by their opponents.
Alisson was Liverpool's hero in the first half with a series of excellent saves, twice denying Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's dangerous effort and beating Ousmane Dembele in a one-on-one situation in the 40th minute.
Not only did Alisson do a great job defending the goal, he also created a magical moment at the Parc des Princes. In the 87th minute, he made an accurate clearance. Darwin Nunez quickly got down and then opened the ball to the right wing for Harvey Elliott. The English midfielder fired a decisive shot into the far corner. Gianluigi Donnarumma touched the ball but could not save the home team. Liverpool scored with their only shot on target in the match.
The match ended with an unbelievable victory for Liverpool. Coach Arne Slot and his team have a big advantage when entering the second leg at Anfield on March 12.
