Coach Park decodes U23 Vietnam's opponent; MU is about to have a super center back from Barca

Coach Park 'dissected the tape' to decode U23 Thailand

After watching Thailand U23 compete in the qualifying round in 2 matches, Coach Park highly appreciated the strength of coach Alexandre Gama's players. He said: "In the opening match against Indonesia, they played with 3 defenders. In the match against Brunei, they switched to 3 defenders and changed many positions. Overall, Thailand has a group of players with good physique, fitness and technique. This is understandable, because the Thai League is developing impressively, and the quality of the teams is inherently in the National Championship. Moreover, as the host of the final round, they have prepared very carefully."

With what they have shown since the beginning of the tournament, U23 Thailand has shown that they are a real challenge for U23 Vietnam. The goal of defeating the team from the land of the golden pagodas, winning the top spot in Group K to continue is considered a difficult task for U23 Vietnam. However, that does not mean that Coach Park Hang Seo's team has lost confidence in the face of this fierce rival.

Mbappe breaks Benzema's record for the French national team

Records continue to be broken by Kylian Mbappe. Most recently, he surpassed Karim Benzema to become the youngest player to reach 30 caps for the French national team.

France just had a resounding 4-0 home victory over Iceland in Group H of the EURO 2020 qualifiers. As usual, Mbappe was still the brightest star with 1 goal and 1 assist for center-back Samuel Umtiti.

In addition, he made his 30th appearance for Les Bleus and became the youngest player to reach this milestone (20 years and 3 months). The previous record was held by Karim Benzema at 22 years and 9 months, set in 2010.

Mbappe made his France debut in a 3–1 win over Luxembourg in March 2017 and scored his first goal in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands in August 2017.

After just 2 years, Mbappe has become a mainstay of the French national team. He once shone brightly to help Les Bleus win the 2018 World Cup in Russia and is hoping to be crowned champion at EURO 2020.

Ronaldo injured in EURO 2020 qualifiers

Cristiano Ronaldo appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the EURO 2020 qualifier against Serbia. He was forced off in the 31st minute with Portugal trailing by a goal after Dusan Tadic's penalty.

However, after Ronaldo left the field, Portugal fought hard to keep 1 point at home.

Ronaldo's injury means he will likely miss the Champions League quarter-final against Ajax on April 10. The extent of his injury is still unknown, but if it is serious, it will be a huge loss for Juventus.'

MU is about to have a super center back from Barca

The Daily Mail reported that Barca will consider selling Samuel Umtiti to MU this summer to have more budget to recruit young center-back Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax.

The Dutch defender is currently valued at 85 million euros. Moreover, if Barca agrees to recruit De Ligt, they will also have to meet the huge salary that this player requires as well as the signing bonus for "super agent" Mino Raiola.

This is very good news for MU. For a long time, the "Red Devils" have needed to upgrade their defense and Umtiti is one of the targets that this team is aiming for.

MU is expected to watch Umtiti in the match between France and Iceland in the EURO qualifiers. However, the English team is also showing concern because of the injury history of this center-back.
