The untold story of the women's national team.Vietnam during the New Zealand shooting
Vietnam women's national team coach Mai Duc Chung shared his thoughts on the timing of the shooting in Auckland, New Zealand, near the hotel where he and his players were staying.
The oldest coach in the history of the Women's World Cup reassured everyone: "Actually, at that moment, I only noticed something was happening outside the hotel. Because I heard sirens from police cars as well as the sound of helicopters overhead. Then, the team had breakfast and heard about the incident."
The incident was quickly handled by police in Auckland, New Zealand. The intersection from the Rydges Hotel – where the Vietnamese women's national team was staying – to the incident site on Queen Road was quickly closed off by city security forces to ensure the safety of surrounding areas. As a result, the team's journey to Fred Taylor Park for training was completely ensured.

Coach Mai Duc Chung has given Duong Thi Van time to rest and has a backup plan for her in the match against the US women's national team.
During a training session two days ago, while contesting for the ball, Duong Thi Van and Hai Yen accidentally collided, causing both to be injured. Hai Yen suffered a minor head injury. She was still able to participate in the training session the following day wearing a woolen hat. Meanwhile, Duong Thi Van was given time to rest in order to recover as quickly as possible.

In an effort to persuade their star player to reject Real Madrid and stay in Paris, PSG made an astonishing contract offer for Kylian Mbappe worth 1 billion euros.
According to Defensa Central, PSG has offered Mbappe a 10-year contract worth €1 billion. This contract would bind Mbappe to PSG until he is 34 years old and would essentially function as a lifetime agreement. It would also be the most lucrative sporting contract in history.
However, Mbappe reportedly told PSG that he wasn't motivated by money and that his dream of playing for Real Madrid, where he could win every possible title, was what mattered. The striker told the Parc des Princes club that he had no intention of signing a new contract and planned to leave on a free transfer next summer. Despite this, PSG insisted that Mbappe must sign a new contract or risk being sold this summer.
