Shin led the South Korean team to the 2018 World Cup, including a victory over 2014 champions Germany in the final group stage match. That victory did not help South Korea advance from the group stage, but they did drag Germany out of the group stage. In December 2019, Iriawan announced that Shin had been appointed as Indonesia’s head coach, replacing Simon McMenemy. Shin will be in charge of the U19, U23 and national teams.

Recently, Shin's relationship with Indonesia has not been good. Shin did not want to go to Indonesia to coach the U19 team for the U19 Asian Cup finals because of concerns about the epidemic. He proposed sending the Indonesian U19 team to South Korea for training. But PSSI still asked Shin to fly to Jakarta.

Indonesian media made a big deal out of it, saying that Shin was at risk of being fired. But on June 25, PSSI Secretary General Yunus Nusi said: "We are still waiting for Shin's training plan, after the pandemic subsides."

Van Quyet advises Van Hau to return home

Hanoi FC is in a personnel crisis. In addition to Quang Hai's sideline issue, the capital team continued to see a series of key players having to practice separately on June 27. According to the information available, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem only has 16 players in the first team who can participate in normal training. That is also the reason why he had to call up 5-6 young players to practice together to solve the immediate force problem.

Van Hau is going through a difficult time in the Netherlands.

Besides, whether Van Hau will stay or go at Heerenveen is still unclear. Today, June 28, Heerenveen will have the final answer about Van Hau's contract. Talking about his younger brother born in 1999, Hanoi FC captain Nguyen Van Quyet shared: "For professional players, experiencing and competing with top clubs and rubbing shoulders with quality players will help them mature a lot. Specifically, this is the case of Van Hau". Van Quyet added: "Van Hau going to the Netherlands is a step forward for the next players to follow, especially to gain experience so that they can prepare better in the future. I think that at this time, when Hanoi FC is having problems with its forces, Van Hau's return is a good thing for the team".

Ronaldo and Messi can play on the same team

Striker Carlos Tevez wants to invite Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to play in a match to celebrate his career.
"If I retire and have to choose a tribute squad, I will choose Gianluigi Buffon, Hugo Ibarra, Rio Ferdinand, Gabriel Heinze, Patrice Evra, Paul Scholes, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney. I will be on the bench," Tevez told Radio La Red on June 26.

Seven former Manchester United players make up Tevez's dream team: Ferdinand, Heinze, Evra, Scholes, Pogba, Ronaldo and Rooney. Six of these seven players won the 2008 Champions League with Tevez - the only European Cup he has ever won. Buffon, Pirlo and Pogba were teammates with Tevez at Juventus. Messi and Ibarra played alongside him for Argentina.
