Red card and penalty, Man City returns to the top of the Premier League

Playing with one less player from the 26th minute, Man City still won 2-1 against Fulham in the early morning of November 6 (Hanoi time) after "killer" Erling Haaland returned and shone from the penalty spot.

Playing the earliest in round 15 of the Premier League, Man City welcomed Fulham at Etihad Stadium with the determination to find 3 points and return to the top of the table. With superior advantages in many aspects, the home team quickly created a situation of pressure against Fulham and opened the score in the 16th minute. From midfield, Ilkay Gundogan sent a pass that tore through Fulham's defense for Julian Alvarez to break through and unleash a decisive shot, the ball tore through the net of Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The home side looked to have doubled their lead eight minutes later when centre-back John Stone put the ball in the Fulham net from a free-kick. However, VAR determined that the England international had been offside before firing in a close-range rebound.

Dropping this goal, Man City then had to pay the price. In the 25th minute, after central defender Nathan Ake fumbled and failed to clear the ball, leading to a quick counter-attack by Fulham, his teammate Joao Cancelo was forced to foul Harry Wilson in the Man City penalty area to save the goal. Unfortunately, this effort was unsuccessful and the Portuguese defender received a red card and Man City had to receive a penalty. On the free kick, Andreas Pereira easily defeated compatriot Ederson of the home team to level the score at 1-1.

After Kevin de Bruyne's surprise free-kick almost brought Man City a second goal in the 64th minute, ten minutes later, the Belgian midfielder crossed the ball accurately for substitute striker Erling Haaland to head into the Fulham net. Although the goal was disallowed due to Haaland being offside, it was a sharp warning in the Norwegian star's return.

It seemed like the match would end in a draw, but in the 90+5 minute of injury time, Kevin de Bruyne created a turning point when he was fouled in the Fulham penalty area. On the 11m mark, Haaland defeated goalkeeper Bernd Leno, scoring his 17th goal of the season and helping Man City win 2-1 to snatch the top spot from Arsenal.

On the morning of November 5, the medical team of the capital team conducted an MRI scan on midfielder Van Quyet. The test results showed that the captain of Hanoi FC will not be able to continue playing at theV.League 2022.

This season, the 2020 Vietnam Golden Ball played a total of 19 matches for the Capital team in all competitions, contributing 9 goals, 5 assists and winning the title of best player of the match 6 times.

Hanoi FC will face Viettel, Ha Tinh and Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the remaining 3 matches of the season.

V-League teams are allowed to register 1 more player of Vietnamese origin.

"Football teams will be allowed to register one more foreign player of Vietnamese origin in the near future. We have consulted most professional and non-professional football teams and received the majority of support. This will help attract talented players with the desire to contribute to Vietnamese football; take advantage of and maximize the capacity and intelligence of the Vietnamese community living abroad," said VFF Vice President Cao Van Chong.

According to information from VFF, professional and non-professional teams will be allowed to register 1 more foreign player of Vietnamese origin. Futsal clubs will be allowed to register 1 more foreign player of Vietnamese origin and 1 more foreign player. Women's teams will also be allowed to register 1 more foreign player of Vietnamese origin. However, the time of application will be calculated appropriately and discussed at the 9th VFF Congress today, November 6.

According to Section 4, Article 2, Chapter I, Law on Vietnamese Nationality: "Vietnamese origin abroad" is a person who has renounced Vietnamese nationality to acquire foreign nationality, a person whose biological father, biological mother, paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, maternal grandfather or maternal grandmother is a person with Vietnamese nationality.

Filip Nguyen has many opportunities to return to Vietnam to compete.

Thus, the opportunity for Vietnamese players to return to their homeland to compete is much greater than before. In the past, there were many cases where Vietnamese players were interested in V-League clubs but they could not play because they were considered foreign players.

A typical case is Filip Nguyen. In 2016, this goalkeeper returned to Vietnam for a trial with Thanh Hoa Club. The late coach Le Thuy Hai quickly "spotted" the mixed-race student and advised the Thanh team's leadership to sign a contract with Filip Nguyen. However, this goalkeeper did not have Vietnamese nationality so he was considered a foreign player, Thanh Hoa Club had to reject him because they could not sacrifice a foreign player slot for the goalkeeper position.

Now, Filip Nguyen and many other players such as Alexander Dang, Jason Pendant Quang Vinh can easily find opportunities to play in the V-League. Playing domestically, it will be easier for them to apply for Vietnamese citizenship and be called up to the Vietnam national team.

Man City officially signs Emilio Lawrence

Man City have beaten off competition to sign young talent Emilio Lawrence from Everton.

It is known that Man City spent a lot of time to convince Lawrence to join the club. The talent born in 2004 was sought after by many big teams, but after all, he was convinced by the reigning Premier League champions. Notably, Man City did not spend any money on this deal because Lawrence's contract with Everton has expired.

Lawrence is considered one of the most promising attacking midfielders in England. After 22 appearances in the U18 Premier League this season, he has scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists. In addition, the young Scottish star can also play well as a winger thanks to his speed.

In addition to Lawrence, Man City are also interested in signing Chelsea academy star Jude Soonsup-Bell, whose contract expires at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Pau FC coach praises Quang Hai

Pau FC coach Didier Tholot continues to give words of encouragement to Quang Hai after his positive performances recently.

In the match against Salinieres Aigues Mortes in the French Cup last weekend, Quang Hai was brought on the field in the last 15 minutes of the second half.

At this time, many things have improved and the important thing is that we are more confident than before”.
