Less than a day after being called up to the Czech Republic national team to prepare for the UEFA Nations League, Filip Nguyen announced his choice to play for the European team.

He said he "can't wait" to be granted Vietnamese citizenship despite trying for the past 3 years. Filip Nguyen has come a long way to find the opportunity to contribute to the Vietnamese National Team, but has never been able to reach the destination.

In the 14th minute, starting from a situation of attacking the ball on the right wing, Ginter created a pass for Ilkay Gundogan to run up from the second line, unleashing an extremely dangerous shot, completely defeating goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

In the 57th minute, Switzerland had a perfect counter-attack when Embolo passed Niklas Sule and then created a pass for Silvan Widmer to run in and finish past Leno, making the score 1-1.

The trio of Vietnamese women's team attackers go abroad together

Following striker Huynh Nhu and midfielder Tuyet Dung, recently striker Pham Hai Yen will go to Portugal to play football at the invitation of Lank Club.

Lank is a newly formed women's team that is currently playing in the Portuguese third division. In addition to their ambition to win the championship this season, Lank also aims to play in the highest league of Portuguese women's football.

Talking about going abroad, Pham Hai Yen shared: “It took me a long time to think about this decision. Thank you to the club for supporting me wholeheartedly! Playing in a new environment is also an opportunity to gain experience and I will try my best to not let down those who have trusted me!” Hai Yen’s new season in the Lank club shirt will start from October 15 and last until June 15, 2021.

Hai Yen is interested in Portuguese clubs because of her ability to contribute to Hanoi Club andVietnam women's team. Hai Yen is a key player in coach Mai Duc Chung's tactical formation. In 38 appearances for the Vietnamese women's team, Hai Yen scored 22 goals, the most notable of which was the only goal against Thailand, helping Vietnam win the gold medal at the 30th SEA Games 2019 in the Philippines.

Along with Hai Yen, striker Huynh Nhu is also working on procedures to soon join Lank and be Hai Yen's teammate. The case of Tuyet Dung also playing for Lank Club is more complicated due to procedural issues related to the parent club Phong Phu Ha Nam. Before Tuyet Dung, teammate Tran Thi Hong Nhung went to Thailand to play for Chonburi Club under a loan contract.

Mundo Deportivo revealed that Suarez will take an Italian language test on September 7 (Spanish time). He needs an Italian passport to avoid taking up a non-EU spot in coach Andrea Pirlo's squad. The striker born in 1987 is also negotiating with Barca to terminate his contract.

"Messi will continue to hold the Barca captain's armband"

Recently, in a conversation with GOAL, Lionel Messi said that he will not leave this season. The Argentine striker wants to leave on a free transfer, but the board of directors firmly requires 700 million euros if he wants to break the contract.

Not wanting to get into a legal dispute with the team he has been with for 20 years,Messidecided to stay. Former Barca Vice President Jordi Mestre is happy with Messi's choice and is confident that he will still be the captain of the Blaugrana in the 2020/21 season.

Mestre told Radio Catalunya: "I think Messi is not happy. I saw the interview. The problem is not with the club, but with the president. There is a conflict between the two of them. Messi is angry with the president and many journalists, but when he returns he will be the same. If he wants Messi to leave, he will bring a lot of money to the club, but from the beginning he wanted him to stay. Now is the time for them to calm down and control the situation. I am sure Messi will continue to be captain."

Agree to stay at Barcelona until the end of his contract in the summer of 2021. Messi is expected to return to training with his teammates on September 7.
