Coach Popov is fed up with Thanh Hoa's bad field

Coach Velizar Popov felt regretful when Thanh Hoa was held to a 0-0 draw by SLNA. The Bulgarian coach said that if they had played on a better pitch, the home team could have deployed the game as desired and achieved a better result.

“Today, my players played to the best of their ability. That is a positive thing. We tried to play but it is very difficult to play well on this field. Thanh Hoa's preparations for the match were ruined when they had to play on this field,” coach Popov shared after the 0-0 draw against SLNA.

MU accepts Casemiro's red card

MU decided not to appeal the red card that midfielder Casemiro received in the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old was sent off in the 70th minute after being filmed with both hands around Palace midfielder Will Hughes' neck. Manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that United had decided not to appeal the red card, despite disagreeing with referee Andre Marriner's decision to send off Casemiro.

"For me, it was not the right decision, but I don't think we have a chance legally," Ten Hag briefly shared about Casemiro's case.

"Ronaldo can't keep up with Benzema"

Striker Karim Benzema's personal coach has confirmed that even Cristiano Ronaldo could not keep up with the current Ballon d'Or winner in training sessions when he was still at Real Madrid.

Benzema and Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. Since then, the two strikers have become good partners in attack. Although Benzema is a center forward, he has sacrificed himself to be the foil for Ronaldo to shine at Los Blancos. When CR7 left the Bernabeu in 2018, Benzema immediately became the new leader of Real, and showed a fearsome goal-scoring instinct.
