What did the VFF President say about finding a replacement for coach Park Hang-seo; Arsenal reclaimed the top spot from Man City

Defeating Chelsea, Arsenal reclaims top spot from Man City

At Stamford Bridge, Arsenal won 1-0 against Chelsea and re-established a 2-point gap with Man City.

On the evening of November 6 (Hanoi time), Arsenal won 1-0 against Chelsea right at Stamford Bridge in round 15 of the Premier League 2022/23. The only goal scorer was center-back Gabriel Magalhaes.

Chelsea's midfield (blue shirt) could not suppress Arsenal.

In the 63rd minute, from a corner kick by Saka on the right wing, the ball went past Chelsea's defense and found Gabriel Magalhaes. In a favorable position, this central defender easily finished close to the goal, helping Arsenal take the lead.

After conceding the goal, coach Graham Potter made many personnel adjustments to increase the pressure on Arsenal's goal. In the second half, Chelsea also controlled the ball better but they did not have any impressive coordination.

On the other hand, Arsenal proved dangerous in situations where they transitioned from defense to attack. If they had finished more sharply, the Gunners could have widened the gap with Chelsea.

However, a goal from Magalhaes was enough for Arsenal to take all 3 points. After 13 matches, they have 34 points, 2 points more than the second-placed team Man City.

Coach Shin Tae-yong: "It will be difficult for the Korean team to pass the group stage of the 2022 World Cup"

Coach Shin Tae-yong led the South Korean team at the 2018 World Cup before moving to Indonesia. The 52-year-old coach recently shared with Hankookilbo about coach Paulo Bento's South Korean team ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

According to coach Shin Tae-yong, regardless of whether the Korean team has Son Heung-min or not, the chance of passing the group stageWorld Cup 2022of the Korean team is not big. At the 2022 World Cup, the Korean team is in Group H with Ghana, Uruguay and Portugal.

“I am not optimistic about the prospects of the Korean team reaching the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup. If the players play confidently, our chances of passing the group stage are 40-50%,” coach Shin Tae-yong affirmed.

Coach Shin Tae-yong led the Korean national team at the 2018 World Cup.

“The Uruguay and Portugal teams have many high-class players playing in Europe. Therefore, I think it will be difficult for Korea and Ghana to qualify. However, the Korean team has a lot of experience playing in the World Cup. If the Korean team draws with Uruguay (in the opening match of the group stage), we will have a chance to enter the round of 16,” coach Shin Tae-yong analyzed.

South Korea will begin their 2022 World Cup campaign against Uruguay (November 24). They will then face Ghana (November 28) before facing Portugal (December 2).

About to attend World Cup, England player involved in betting suspicion

The Football Association (FA) is investigating Brentford striker Ivan Toney following allegations that he bet while at his former club.

On the night of November 5 (UK time), Toney posted on social media: "I have cooperated with the FA to provide the necessary information. I will not answer questions related to this matter until the FA announces the final results of the investigation."

Ivan Toney is one of the best strikers in the Premier League this season.

The FA has not yet determined the truth of the above allegations. However, FA regulations strictly prohibit athletes from betting. Gambling related to transfer results, the position of the coach, the starting lineup or the result of the match is strictly prohibited for all coaches, players, club staff and match officials.

The FA does not allow players to bet, either directly or indirectly. They are not allowed to instruct, permit or induce anyone to bet on the outcome of a match or competition. Failure to do so can result in a fine, suspension or indefinite suspension.
