Cong Phuong has a new step forward in his career; Japanese coach's 'save the seat' scheme

Japanese coach's 'save seat' plan against Vietnam: Forget Minamino and Osako!

Using form as a criterion to assess danger, in the Japanese team, names like Takehiro Moriyasu, Daizen Maeda, Ayase Ueda and Furuhashi are very notable. Meanwhile, Minamino was not given a chance at Liverpool.

Daizen Maeda is in very good form.

If coach Hajime Moriyasu could be less conservative in his use of personnel, in his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, Japan would be even more formidable. In fact, it was Mr. Moriyasu's acceptance of changing the formation with an attacking 4-3-3 formation that helped Japan have an important victory over Australia in the 4th match of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia.

Japanese media also believe that this will be the lineup that Mr. Moriyasu will use when choosing to play against Vietnam on November 11.

Cong Phuong has a new step forward in his career before the Vietnam vs Japan match

Striker Nguyen Cong Phuong has collaborated with a sports brand to launch a product including shoes and a grassroots jersey, right before the Vietnam vs Japan match.

Talking about this combination, Cong Phuong said: “The opportunity happened by chance. I also think that the market for amateur football players is growing very fast. Therefore, I decided to join forces with the sports brand. Hopefully, this will be a memorable milestone for the cooperation between the two sides.”

Specifically, the football-specific product line is called Wika CP10 Collection, including Wika CP10 football boots and Wika CP10 football shirts. This is a collaboration between Cong Phuong, his personal brand CP10 and sports brand Wika. More meaningfully, Cong Phuong has a product with his own brand right before the match between Vietnam and Japan.

Real want to collect 130 million euros from selling players to buy Mbappe or Haaland

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Real Madrid is planning to push out players who are no longer contributing much to raise 130 million euros to raise funds to recruit Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland.

Los Blancos still need to bring in big stars to maintain their top position as well as compete for major titles. Their two top targets are Mbappe and Haaland.

With Bale, Isco and Marcelo, Real will not renew their contracts and let them leave on free transfers. The money saved from the salaries of these players plus the money from selling Hazard and Jovic can help Real earn around 130 million euros. This is enough for the White Vulture to pursue Mbappe or Haaland.

Former MU player criticizes Solskjaer's treatment of Van de Beek

Van de Beek has been at MU for 15 months but has left very little mark at Old Trafford. The main responsibility for this, according to Paul Ince, belongs to coach Solskjaer.

Contrary to Solskjaer's promises, Van de Beek has only played... 64 minutes this season. In the recent defeat to Man City, Van de Beek was used in the last 10 minutes.

Van de Beek continuously came off the bench.

Witnessing the way the Dutch midfielder was used, former player Paul Ince was displeased with Solskjaer: "Van de Beek only played 4 minutes against Atalanta. What bothers me is the way Solskjaer uses people.

And two years on, Van de Beek is still on the bench. Solskjaer has clearly pissed him off.

Pogba out for 2 months

Bad news for Man United right after releasing players for the national teams with the terrible injury situation of midfielder Paul Pogba. The French player will not return to play for the club until 2022.

If he is not injured, Pogba will only sit out the match against Watford on November 20.

A statement from the French national team said: "Paul Pogba has suffered a right quadriceps injury and will miss the next two matches of the French national team. To replace him, Didier Deschamps has called up Jordan Veretout."
