Coach Park Hang-seo invited to lead U20 Korea; Chanathip Songkrasin confirmed not to participate in AFF Cup 2022

Chanathip Songkrasin confirmed not to participate in AFF Cup 2022

Midfielder Chanathip Songkrasin wants more time to rest and give young players a chance to prove themselves in the Thai national team.

“Last year, I could not prepare for the new season with Kawasaki Frontale when participating in the AFF Cup. My body became overloaded and could not recover to its best condition. I wanted to have more time to rest and refresh myself after a stressful season,” Daily News quoted Chanathip.

Thai football is working hard to convince Japanese clubs as well as 3 players, including Chanathip, to return to play in the AFF Cup 2022. However, the statement of the midfielder currently playing for Kawasaki Frontale may disappoint the "War Elephants".

Chanathip confirmed he will not participate in AFF Cup 2022.

Last month, the 29-year-old star confirmed: "I think I need a little rest. I haven't had a month off in a while. The longest break was only a week. My body is showing signs of overload and this is why fans won't be able to see me compete at the end of this year."

Chanathip's absence certainly affects the ambitions of the Thai team. In the AFF Cup 2018, when Chanathip did not participate, the "War Elephants" failed in the semi-finals.

At the AFF Cup 2020, the tournament that Chanathip participated in, the Thai team convincingly won the championship. Chanathip personally also won the title of Best Player of the tournament. That shows how important this attacking midfielder is to the Thai team.

At the AFF Cup 2022, Thailand is in Group A with Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia, and the winner of the play-off match between Timor Leste and Brunei.

MU competes with Liverpool for Marcelo Brozovic

In addition to Liverpool and MU, this 29-year-old star was also invited by coach Antonio Conte to Tottenham.

In the summer of 2022, MU said goodbye to Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira and James Garner. To supplement the midfield, MU signed Christian Eriksen and Casemiro. However, the quality of their midfield still shows many problems. Therefore, the Red Devils are aiming for Marcelo Brozovic of Inter Milan.

Brozovic arrived in Serie A in the 2014/15 season and has now become a key player in the Inter squad. The two sides' contracts will expire in 2026, with the current salary being 200,000 euros per week. MU is said to be interested in Brozovic's services with a 4-year contract.

Marcelo Brozovic received attention from MU and Liverpool.

However, to get Brozovic's signature, the Red Devils will have to compete with Liverpool, the team that is also targeting this midfielder with a long-term contract and a high salary.

Last February, Liverpool approached Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic but in the end they were not satisfied for many different reasons.

Coach Jurgen Klopp really wants Brozovic to strengthen his midfield, as he can help flexibly deploy many different tactical systems and is planning to resume this deal in the next winter transfer window.

In addition to Liverpool and MU, this 29-year-old star was also invited to Tottenham by coach Antonio Conte. Barca also contacted this midfielder more than once but without any results.

In return, Bui Tien Dung and his teammates will withdraw the lawsuit from the VFF and the lawyers.

Coach Park Hang-seo was invited to lead the Korean U20 team.

While coach Park Hang-seo has not yet made an official decision on whether to continue with Vietnamese football after the AFF Cup 2022 or not, the Korean Football Federation has just sent a signal to the current coach of the Vietnamese national team and assistant Lee Young Jin with the offer to lead the Korean U20 team next year. Currently, the Korean U20 team is being led by coach Kim Eun Jung. This coach once played a friendly match with the Korean U20 team against the Vietnamese U23 team of coach Park Hang-seo himself, before the 31st SEA Games took place. At that time, the Korean U20 team drew 1 match (1-1) and lost 1 match (0-1) against the Vietnamese U23 team.

At this point, Coach Park's future with the Vietnam national team is still open. The current contract between hCoach Park Hang-seoand VFF will expire on January 31, 2023. According to the agreement, the two sides will meet in October 2022 to negotiate whether to extend or not. Regarding his future, coach Park shared with the press: “With Vietnamese football, I have won a number of titles, but for me, the desire to conquer tournaments is still intact.

The Korean Football Federation wants to "hit the whole group" from coach Park Hang-seo to assistant Lee Young Jin.

On October 5, I will celebrate 5 years of leading the Vietnamese team. I consider this day as my second birthday. I want to organize a small party with the coaching staff and the students who have accompanied me throughout the past time. Also in October, my representative will work specifically with VFF about the contract. As for me, I want to focus all my time on the AFF Cup. This may be my last tournament with the Vietnamese team or it may not be. Everything is still ahead. But no matter what, I want to do my best in this tournament."

Previously, when talking to SBS of Korea, this coach affirmed that he would accompany Vietnamese football for a long time, even when he is no longer the head coach. He said: "I think the important thing is the direction of Vietnamese football. My continued stay as coach of the national team will bring benefits or need innovation. I think that, even when I say goodbye, I will still have a way to help Vietnamese youth football."
