Vietnam U16 opened the scoring in all 3 group stage matches, and in this match, Duc Thien and his teammates continued to take the initiative with a fast-paced attacking style. The red shirt team continuously drilled into the two flanks of Thailand U16, using quick passes and then pulling the ball inside for the strikers to cut in and handle.

In the 16th minute, Duc Thien charged down to face the Thai goalkeeper, but the opposing team's central defender quickly retreated to clear the danger. Ten minutes later, Duc Thien again intelligently escaped down to receive a pass from Long Vu, but the player wearing the number 18 shirt missed his shot. Duc Thien's performance in the first half was a typical example of U16 Vietnam, with plenty of enthusiasm and speed, but lacking composure in the final phases.

U16 Vietnam played proactively against U16 Thailand.

When U16 Vietnam was struggling to find a way into the Thai goal, captain Cong Phuong spoke up at the right time. In the 30th minute, U16 Vietnam organized a pass down the right wing. The U16 Thai defender fumbled and kicked the ball out of the penalty area. Cong Phuong calmly controlled the ball and shot into the low corner, making it impossible for the opposing goalkeeper to block.

In the second half, U16 Vietnam proactively withdrew their formation and played slowly to defend against the pressure of U16 Thailand. However, whenever they had the chance to attack, Coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan's players had sharp coordination.

In the 68th minute, Hoang Son crossed the ball for Cong Hau to finish, but the U16 Thai defender promptly blocked the ball. Immediately after that, two Vietnamese players standing in front of the Thai goal jumped up to head the ball but could not put it in the net.

Despite many attacks but failing to score, U16 Thailand received a counterattack in the 83rd minute. Trong Tuan's tricky header defeated the opponent's goalkeeper, bringing U16 Vietnam to the final of U16 Southeast Asia. The opponent of Duc Thien and his teammates will be U16 Indonesia or U16 Myanmar.

After the match ended, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) sent congratulations and decided to reward Coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan and his team with 300 million VND. This is an encouragement for the achievement of U16 Vietnam in the regional final.

Surpassing MU, Chelsea is about to explode "blockbuster" De Jong

Spanish media reported that Chelsea will win the race to sign Frenkie De Jong, after agreeing a fee of £67.6 million with Barcelona.

This is bad news for Coach Ten Hag and MU leaders, because they have been pursuing De Jong throughout the summer transfer window.

According to Sport, Chelsea and Barcelona have reached an agreement for a fee of £67.6 million, as the Catalan team is determined to push De Jong out of the Nou Camp.

Just a few days ago, MU was the only horse in the race to sign De Jong. However, Chelsea jumped into negotiations a few days ago and they are determined to close the deal this week.

Chelsea close in on De Jong's signature.

It is known that since July 2022, MU also agreed with Barca on the fee to recruit De Jong. However, the Dutch midfielder refused to join Old Trafford.

Chelsea's advantage is that they can provide De Jong with the opportunity to play in the Champions League, while MU only competes in the Europa League this season.

However, Sport newspaper said that Frenkie De Jong has not yet made a final decision about the future.

The problem lies in the salary of nearly 17 million pounds that Barca owes the Dutch star, when he re-signed the contract accepting deferred remuneration in the following years.

If De Jong leaves, he will lose all of the money. Barca is currently threatening to sue their player for breaking the law when signing the contract under president Bartomeu.

In the next 24 hours, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will continue to call to convince De Jong to join Chelsea, with the promise of extremely attractive salary and bonuses.
