Nguyen Thuy Linh stops at the 2024 French Open Badminton Tournament
On the afternoon of March 6, Vietnam's No. 1 female tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh entered the first round of the women's singles at the 2024 French Open Badminton Tournament against Wen Chi-hsu (Chinese Taipei). Having beaten this opponent twice before, Nguyen Thuy Linh encountered many difficulties this time.
Many fans were somewhat regretful when Nguyen Thuy Linh, who had just won the runner-up position at the 2024 German Open, had to stop early in the first round of the 2024 French Open. Partly because Nguyen Thuy Linh had to work hard continuously, her physical strength was not guaranteed, and when she went to France, this tennis player lost her luggage, which affected her mentally.
After the 2024 French Open, Nguyen Thuy Linh will participate in the 2024 All England Open, taking place from March 12 to 17. This is a tournament under the World Tour Super 1,000 system and has a total prize money of 1.3 million USD. The draw for the 2024 All England Open was also not favorable when Nguyen Thuy Linh had to face the No. 2 seed Chen Yufei (China).
Although she has secured a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics, tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh is actively competing in international tournaments to consolidate her ranking and gain competition experience.
Coach Troussier received good news from his favorite player before two crucial matches.
On the afternoon of March 6, Tuan Anh returned to practice with his teammates at LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club after a long time on the sidelines due to injury. This is very good news for the mountain town team as they are about to have an important match with Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 13 of V-League 2023-2024.
Previously, the midfielder born in 1995 suffered a knee injury in the match against Quang Nam in round 10 of the V-League. Initially, Coach Vu Tien Thanh revealed that he would have to rest until the end of the first leg. However, Tuan Anh's injury recovered quite quickly, so he returned earlier than expected.
The return of the Thai Binh player not only brings good news to LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai but also to Coach Troussier. Tuan Anh is a very important factor in the system that Coach Troussier is building in the Vietnam team. Recently, Tuan Anh has often been paired with Thai Son in the midfield by the French coach.
As planned,Vietnam teamwill gather from March 12 to prepare for two matches with Indonesia in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. On March 21, Coach Troussier and his team will visit Bung Karno Stadium in Indonesia. Five days later, the two teams will face off at My Dinh Stadium.
Cong Phuong has a new teacher, a famous former Japanese midfielder.
Shunsuke Nakamura was once an icon for the Japanese National Team and Scottish club Celtic. This midfielder possesses superb free-kick skills, among the best in the world.
After retiring in 2022, Nakamura will move to coaching and youth training. The former Japanese player chose his old team Yokohama FC as the place to devote himself.
Most recently, after about 2 years of training, Nakamura was given the opportunity by the Yokohama FC leadership to become an assistant on the first team. That means this former player will be the direct teacher of Cong Phuong, who is expecting to play this season.
Nakamura works as an assistant to Coach Yomoda and is assigned some important tasks in the team. "I am responsible for observing the team's opponents. Also, I know what to do when making substitutions. Coach Yomoda is the main decision maker, but I also participate in meetings and do the necessary work," Nakamura shared.
Vietnamese fans hope that Nakamura's presence will help Cong Phuong improve many skills, especially free kicks, to contribute to the Vietnam National Team in the future./.
