Big shock for Que Ngoc Hai

Shocking news is that central defender Que Ngoc Hai may leave Binh Duong Club.

On the afternoon of June 29, Saostar contacted Binh Duong Club to ask about the information that the team wanted to part ways with Que Ngoc Hai. However, both coach Nguyen Anh Duc and the team's leadership chose to remain silent. And that silence further raised suspicions that Que Ngoc Hai's future at Go Dau Stadium was coming to an end.

It all started in the National Cup semi-final match between Binh Duong and SLNA. When the score was tied 2-2, Que Ngoc Hai committed a foul in the penalty area leading to a penalty, and that was the decisive goal that stopped Binh Duong. After the match, a wave of criticism erupted on the Binh Duong Club's homepage. There were strong opinions that the club should part ways with Que Ngoc Hai.

In fact, Que Ngoc Hai has 1 year left in his 3-year contract with Binh Duong. But the past 2 seasons have been a series of turbulent days. In the first year, he was injured and did not contribute anything significant. This season, although he plays more often, Que Ngoc Hai's performance is still a big question mark, especially in important matches.

After staying in the league, where will HAGL go...

Like an unwritten rule in recent years, HAGL is facing a "bleeding" of force after the season ends.

Most recently, many key players, who have shouldered the burden, been the soul, the identity and helped the team overcome the crisis, officially said goodbye to find a new, more stable and ambitious destination such as Chau Ngoc Quang, Tran Minh Vuong or Dung Quang Nho, leaving a huge void both professionally and mentally for HAGL.

A prospect of an even more difficult 2025/26 season is looming before HAGL. And the question "Where will HAGL go?" is a real concern.

With what we are seeing, Mr. Duc's 25-year milestone of perseverance and passion pursuit is afraid to be like recent seasons: no direction, no achievements and even… not beautiful.

For Messi, PSG has never been 'home'

For the first time in his career, Lionel Messi will face his former team - Paris Saint-Germain. But this is not a sweet reunion, but an opportunity for Messi to touch upon the saddest memories of his illustrious career.

At PSG, Messi did not leave a legacy worthy of his name. With just 32 goals in 75 games – the lowest scoring rate of his career – his time in Paris was a low point. But what bothered Messi was not the statistics, but the feeling of being lost that lasted for two seasons.

It started off seemingly peacefully. Messi was greeted warmly by the Paris fans, as if he were the symbol of the victory they had always dreamed of. But things quickly changed.

A section of the audience turned their backs and whistled every time his name was called. Messi realized that he could not avoid the cruel cycle in Paris - where even Neymar and Mbappe were victims.

This reunion is not just a match in the round of 16. It is a flashback, a link between the past and the present - where Messi and PSG, each side has entered a new chapter, but still cannot erase the old taste. And who knows, this reunion will help both of them look back, to understand more clearly the past journey - an imperfect journey, but very human.

FIFA Club World Cup causes controversy again

As the most anticipated football tournament of the summer of 2025, the FIFA Club World Cup (FCWC) 2025 is causing many mixed reactions. Especially the 1/8 round match between Chelsea - Benfica, the match lasted nearly 5 hours to end.

The Chelsea-Benfica match at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte was perhaps one of the strangest professional matches in football history. Not only did the match last nearly 5 hours, but it also left behind heated debates about the organization of the tournament in the United States.

In the 86th minute, with only 4 minutes left to play and Chelsea leading 1-0, lightning struck the stadium. For safety reasons, the referee stopped the game and asked all players to leave the field. What no one expected was that the delay would last for 2 hours.

When the match resumed after 2 hours of waiting, the scene at Bank of America Stadium was completely different. And as if by an unbelievable fate, in the last minutes of extra time, the ball touched Malo Gusto's hand in Chelsea's penalty area. The referee pointed to the 11m mark and Angel Di Maria did not miss the opportunity to equalize 1-1 for Benfica, causing the match to be extended to an additional 30 minutes of extra time.

Chelsea eventually won but they were not satisfied with the organization of the match.
