Korean coach: Hope Vietnam team will soon regain its position

Mr. Jong Song-chon - Shin Tae-yong's old rival - regrets that the Vietnamese team could not maintain the achievements of his predecessor Park Hang-seo.

Jong Song-chon is the former coach of the Korean U20 women's team that participated in 3 Youth World Cups. He used to lead the Hanoi I women's club, before recently becoming the head coach of the Park Hang-seo Academy.

Commenting as an expert, Mr. Jong also expressed his opinion on personnel, when coach Philippe Troussier tended not to use the pillars of Mr. Park's time.

"The Head Coaches have full authority to decide on personnel so I won't go into details. I am also a coach, I believe that it is very important to maximize the strengths of each player, through tactics and instant adjustments during the match," Jong said.

Receiving the ball in Arsenal's penalty area turned out to be impossible

In the 2023/2024 season in general and since the beginning of 2024 in particular, receiving the ball in Arsenal's penalty area is extremely difficult for attacking players.

Arsenal are currently in 2nd place in the Premier League standings, 2 points behind leaders Liverpool (65 vs 67). In their most recent match against Man City, the Gunners drew 0-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

From analysis and statistics, the factors that help Arsenal compete on par with Liverpool and Man City in the Premier League championship this season are their comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities. Up to this point, Arsenal is the team that has scored the most goals (70), conceded the fewest goals (24) and kept the most clean sheets (12 matches).

Man Utd "secretly" extended contract with Mason Greenwood

According to the Athletic, Man Utd has secretly activated a clause to automatically extend the contract for another year with midfielder Mason Greenwood to pave the way for the midfielder to return to Old Trafford.

After legal troubles off the field, midfielder Mason Greenwood was loaned to Getafe by Man Utd as a refuge from the media and backlash from the Red Devils' own fans.

Mason Greenwood's contract with Man Utd runs until the summer of 2025, with an option to extend for another year. If Man Utd does not automatically activate it, Greenwood will leave as a free agent.

Mason Greenwood has integrated well with Getafe and has become a key factor for the Spanish team. Faced with this, Getafe wants to continue to stick with Greenwood, possibly in the form of a loan extension or a permanent purchase.
