Coach Park Hang-seo rematches "defeated general" Eriksson? MU sends invitation to the killer who tore the net of Vietnam National Team

Coach Park Hang-seo to rematch "defeated general" Eriksson at King's Cup 2019?

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has just surprisingly announced that former England and Philippines coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is one of the two most promising candidates for the position of head coach of the Indian national team.

Previously, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) also announced 3 guest teams participating in the King's Cup 2019 including Vietnam, India and Curacao. If he agrees to lead the Indian team, the veteran Swedish coach will have an interesting rematch with coach Park Hang-seo - the person who defeated him in the AFF Cup 2018 campaign.

The position of coach of the Indian national team is very "attractive", when AIFF has received more than 250 applications, however, only 35 people meet the requirements. The most prominent among them can be mentioned another former coach of the England national team - Sam Allardyce; or Raymond Domenech - who took the French national team to the 2006 World Cup Final.

According to Indian media, AIFF is not very interested in Allardyce or Domenech - due to lack of experience with Asian football, along with demanding a relatively high salary compared to the general level, but is leaning towards one of two options: coach Sven-Goran Eriksson or Spanish coach Albert Roca.

Vu Van Thanh is about to return

Vietnam's top football winger has returned to training at HA Gia Lai Club after a period of injury.

It is likely that in 4 weeks, or sooner, Vu Van Thanh will return to the field for HA Gia Lai in the V-League. In addition to his usual position as a right-back, Van Thanh can play as a left-back, right midfielder, or left midfielder. When needed, Go can even push Van Thanh up very high, playing as a winger, and strangely enough, this versatile player is still successful.

Although he is a very fast and physically strong player, Van Thanh also possesses good technique, the ability to dribble the ball quickly and skillfully on the wing. That is something that not every defender in Vietnamese football can do, so Van Thanh often makes great contributions to the teams he plays for, from defense to attack.

MU sends invitation to the killer who tore the net of Vietnam National Team

According to Mr. Wahab Al-Taei, vice president of Al-Shorta SC, the club where Mohanad Ali is playing, MU has officially sent an invitation to this 18-year-old Iraqi striker. In addition to the "Red Devils", 3 other European teams also want Mohanad Ali: Juventus, Benfica and Galatasaray.

“MU has officially sent an invitation to Mohanad Ali. Not only MU but also Juventus, Benfica and Galatasaray have called us to negotiate this deal. Currently, Mohanad Ali has refused due to personal and family reasons. However, we will try to convince him to play in Europe in the future to develop his career," Mr. Wahab Al-Taei revealed.

Mohanad Ali is considered the assassin of the Vietnamese national team because of his excellent performance, scoring the opening goal to help the Iraqi national team defeat the reigning Southeast Asian champions with a score of 3-2 in the group stage of the 2019 Asian Cup. Since the beginning of the 2019 season, the 18-year-old striker has scored 13 goals in 17 matches for Al-Shorta SC.

Two representatives of English football, Arsenal and Chelsea, both welcomed the joy of victory in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals that took place early this morning (April 12).

Arsenal's 2-0 home win gives them a huge advantage heading into the return leg at the San Paolo next week, while Chelsea had a hard-fought win away to Slavia Prague.

Arsenal 2-0 Napoli

Slavia Prague 0-1 Chelsea

Benfica 4-2 Eintracht

Villarreal 1-3 Valencia

Having so many key players on the bench made Chelsea play rather stalemate. It wasn't until the 86th minute that Chelsea got a goal from Marcos Alonso's header. That was also the only goal of the match, giving Chelsea a slight advantage before the second leg.

Ronaldo leads the best team in the first leg of the European Cup quarter-finals

Returning from injury, the Portuguese superstar shone with a goal against Ajax and earned a place in the UEFA Team of the Year.

The best squad of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals voted by UEFA.

The remaining names include: Striker Roberto Firmino (Liverpool 2-0 Porto); Striker David Nerres (Ajax 1-1 Juventus); Midfielder Son Heung-min (Tottenham 1-0 Man City); Midfielder Naby Keita (Liverpool 2-0 Porto); Defender Jordi Alba (Man Utd 0-1 Barcelona); Defender Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham 1-0 Man City); Defender Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool 2-0 Porto); Defender Gerard Pique (Man Utd 0-1 Barcelona); Defender Alexander Arnold (Liverpool 2-0 Porto); Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (Tottenham 1-0 Man City).

“New Ronaldo” scores hat-trick in Europa League

Joao Felix is ​​the name mentioned most in the world sports newspapers this morning. The 19-year-old player of Benfica made a splash when he scored a hat-trick to help his team beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-2 at home at Estadio da Luz. This was a match in which Eintracht Frankfurt played with only 10 men from the 20th minute, after defender Evan N'Dicka received a straight red card.

With this performance, Joao Felix will increase his "hotness" in the 2019 Summer transfer market. Described as the "new Ronaldo" thanks to his speed, finishing ability, and situational judgment, Joao Felix is ​​currently the target of many clubs such as MU, Real Madrid...

Messi could miss La Liga due to Smalling's hit

Source of informationESPNMessi is certain to sit out the away match at Huesca in round 32 of La Liga.

Messi suffered a nose injury in the 29th minute of the first leg of the quarter-finals. While jumping up to compete for the ball from behind, Man Utd defender Chris Smalling swung his arm and hit the Barca captain hard in the face. The collision caused Messi to bleed and interrupted the match.

Messi's absence from the game against Huesca is unlikely to have much of an impact on Barca's chances. Huesca are currently bottom of La Liga, having lost 17 of their 31 games. Barca, on the other hand, are 11 points ahead of second-placed Atletico and do not need to win at all costs.

In the worst case scenario, Messi could have to wear a mask for the return leg against Man Utd (October 16). However, the initial diagnosis shows that this is not necessary. Messi himself also played the entire first leg after being injured.

Bayern has changes

Bayern Munich stars Kingsley Coman and Robert Lewandowski had a fight on the training ground yesterday (April 11). According to the German daily Bild, the Polish striker is said to have said something that made French winger Coman mad.

They argued loudly, and then lost their temper and punched each other in the face. Jerome Boateng and Niklas Sule ran to stop them, pulling both players away from each other. Initially, coach Niko Kovac intended to send both players to the locker room. However, he later changed his mind and let them continue training. Bild said the Bayern players were surprised by the coach's decision.

Real Madrid announce sale of Gereth Bale in summer

AS newspaper said that Real Madrid have told Gareth Bale and his agent about their plan to sell the Welsh midfielder this summer, and let him choose his next destination.

Bale will be 30 in the summer and it appears Real Madrid are willing to sell at a loss but the club will let the midfielder choose his next destination.

MU and Bayern Munich are very interested in Bale, while his agent hinted that they will receive an offer of 175 million euros for his client. This is a huge fee for a midfielder with a history of injuries, so it is not known whether it is true or not.

However, aside from injuries, Bale is a midfielder with top qualities. But Bale is not a favorite player of Zidane, who recently returned to take charge of Real Madrid.
