Concerns about Dinh Trong

On the afternoon of August 22, U23 Vietnam had a 1-hour training session at the Gelora Bung Karno auxiliary field to prepare for the match against U23 Bahrain. However, before the training session began, Coach Park Hang Seo and Dinh Trong had a private discussion with the doctors.

After the discussion, Dinh Trong was asked by coach Park Hang Seo to practice outside the field, instead of warming up and participating in the main practice session of the whole team.

Near the end of the training session, although still present at the quick tactical lesson on the field. But it is not known whether Dinh Trong can recover in time for the match in the round of 16 with Bahrain on the evening of August 23.

Vietnamese Sepak Takraw was blatantly discriminated against at the 2018 Asian Games

The Vietnamese women's sepak takraw team faced Korea in the semi-finals of the 2018 Asian Games. Although we were behind in the first set, we quickly equalized the score in the second set. It is worth mentioning that the incident happened in the third set.

Vietnam women's rattan ball (yellow shirt) was unfairly punished in the match against Korea.

When Korea took the lead over Vietnam with a score of 16-11, the scoreboard suddenly jumped by 1 point for the Korean sepak takraw team (to 17-11). Then, when the score was 18-11, the head coach of the Vietnamese women's sepak takraw team, Tran Thi Vui, discovered this mistake.

However, the referee team rejected Ms. Tran Thi Vui’s complaint because it was… late. In that situation, Ms. Tran Thi Vui asked her students to stop playing to resolve the matter.

In the end, after 10 minutes of arguing, the head coach of the Vietnamese women's sepak takraw team was dismissed. The big gap helped Korea win the third set with a score of 21-12 and win the first round. In the second round, they also defeated Vietnam with a score of 18-21, 21-5, 21-9 to enter the final. In the end, Korea won with a score of 2-0.

With this defeat, the Vietnamese women's sepak takraw team won the bronze medal at the 2018 Asiad.
