Filip Nguyen refuses to play for Vietnam national team; Ronaldo wants to reunite with Mourinho at Juventus
(Baonghean.vn) - The player born in 1992 hopes to wear the Czech Republic national team jersey, instead of becoming a citizen, and return to contribute to the Vietnamese national team while CR7 recommends his former coach to the Juventus leadership to replace Max Allegri, these are the outstanding sports news of the past day.
Vietnamese-origin players are not interested in their homeland
“I used to learn about the process of obtaining Vietnamese citizenship. But now I have changed my mind. I want to stay and play football in Europe. I want to strive to wear the Czech Republic national team jersey later," Filip Nguyen shared on Bezfrazi. Filip Nguyen tried out for Thanh Hoa Club in 2016, but was unsuccessful.
Filip Nguyen's father is Vietnamese and his mother is Czech. However, he has no strong feelings for the S-shaped land because his father abandoned him and his mother early."I have no memories of my father. When my first grade teacher asked me what my father did, I didn't even know how to answer. Then my mother told us to just say that my father was a businessman," Filip Nguyen recalled.

Filip Nguyen was born in 1992 and currently plays for Slovan Liberec. In the 2018-2019 season, he played a total of 27 matches and is considered to have the potential to compete for a position in the Czech Republic's goal in the future. Currently, Filip Nguyen is valued at 675,000 pounds by Transfermarkt (Germany).
In the campaign to find overseas Vietnamese players to strengthen the Vietnamese national team, VFF once targeted Filip Nguyen. However, the goalkeeper born in 1992 soon refused, so VFF decided to cancel the plan to send coach Park Hang-seo to "watch his legs". Filip Nguyen currently does not have Vietnamese nationality and cannot speak Vietnamese.
CR7 wants to reunite with his old teacher
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Jose Mourinho has two important supports from Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes. If selected, he will be the coach of Juventus from this summer.
Ronaldo and Mourinho worked together when they were at Real (2010-2013). And although that collaboration did not end well, the two have put aside their differences and put the past to rest.
With Juventus, Mourinho has only one problem, having led rivals Inter Milan to the treble in the 2009-2010 season. When helping Man Utd beat Juventus in the Champions League group stage this season, he reacted to the jeers of the home fans by putting his hand to his ear.

While there are problems with fans, Mourinho's ability is a factor that a big club like Juventus needs. In terms of playing style, Mourinho often succeeds with teams that emphasize defense like Chelsea and Inter. And more importantly, the "Special One" always knows how to win titles with every team he leads.
Current Juventus coach Max Allegri has announced his departure after the 2018-2019 season. This weekend's match against Sampdoria in round 38 of Serie A will be the Italian coach's last.
Mourinho is also a candidate for the hot seat at Bayern Munich and PSG. After more than half a year of unemployment, he is ready to return to top-flight football. Meanwhile, if Mourinho is not invited, Juventus can consider Simone Inzaghi of Lazio. Maurizio Sarri and Sinisa Mihajlovic are also good choices for the Italian team.
Referee dies while controlling match at altitude of 4,150 meters
The incident occurred during the match between Always Ready and Oriente Petrolero on May 19, at the Municipal Stadium in El Alto, Bolivia. This stadium is located at an altitude of 4,150 meters above sea level and is the second highest stadium in the world, only behind the Daniel Alcides Carríon Stadium (4,380 meters, in Peru).
When the match entered the 47th minute, referee Hurtado suddenly collapsed on the field. Members of both teams and doctors organized first aid and a few minutes later, the referee was taken to the hospital. However, he did not survive.

Always Ready team doctor Eric Kosziner said the referee fainted after suffering the first heart attack. The second, which occurred on the way to the hospital, was the cause of his death.
Bolivia now has many football pitches at altitudes of 2,800 metres or higher, something that is considered a characteristic of this country and some other South American countries. When playing at such high altitudes, some players who are not used to the thin air can quickly lose their stamina.
