Hung Dung cannot travel to Singapore with his teammates in the Vietnam National Team on December 1. |
However, because the procedures for entering Singapore at this time take longer than expected, Hung Dung does not have enough valid documents to travel with his teammates. VFF, through official diplomatic channels, has sent a document requesting the host country's Organizing Committee to support the early completion of the procedures for applying for an entry permit for Do Hung Dung.
In the immediate future, the player born in 1993 will return to Hanoi FC to practice and then go to Singapore to join the national team when all the documents are available. Thus, the Vietnam national team will move to Singapore on the afternoon of December 1 with 29 players./.
New coach Rangnick cannot debut for MU in the big match against Arsenal
Due to paperwork, MU's new interim coach - Ralf Rangnick will not be able to debut for the team in the big match against Arsenal.
On November 29, MU officially appointed Ralf Rangnick as interim coach until the end of the season. The 63-year-old German strategist is expected to help the Red Devils transform with his rich past experience.
However, coach Rangnick has not been able to officially work for MU due to paperwork issues in the UK. Currently, he has not been granted a visa and work permit. Therefore, Rangnick will not be allowed to direct the match between MU and Arsenal in the 14th round of the Premier League in the middle of this week.

New coach Rangnick. |
The reason for this delay is that coach Rangick has not been a regular… coach in recent years. Since 2011, Rangnick’s main job has been as a sporting director. He has only had 2 seasons leading RB Leipzig, and this is not enough to get him an automatic license in England.
Instead, Rangnick will have to face an independent panel appointed by the Football Association (FA) to obtain a work permit in the country. According to multiple sources, Rangnick flew to Manchester yesterday to try to complete the necessary procedures.
Assistant Michael Carrick will continue to lead MU in the match against Arsenal on Friday morning. Meanwhile, Rangnick will most likely only appear in the VIP room at Old Trafford. It is still unclear whether he will intervene in Carrick's tactics and team arrangements.
Thailand offers huge reward with ambition to dethrone Vietnam team
The Thai team has just made a move to "mentally dope" coach Mano Polking and his team in the hope of winning the AFF Cup.
Afternoon of November 30,The Thai team had their final training session before flying to Singapore on December 1 to prepare for the AFF Cup 2021.
After this training session, head of the delegation Nualphan Lamsam had a meeting with the media to reveal the bonus for coach Mano Polking and his team if they win the AFF Cup 2021. Accordingly, the Thai team will be rewarded at least 30 million baht (about more than 20 billion VND) if they win the championship in Singapore.
Ms. Nualphan Lamsam told Siamsport: "Initially, I planned not to talk about this issue, because money is not the ultimate goal of the national team.
The goal of the whole team is to win the championship. This championship will be for ourselves, for the Thai people. But to encourage the fighting spirit of the young players, we will offer the whole team an additional bonus of 20 million baht if they win the championship, bringing the bonus to 30 million baht. That bonus will be for all members, regardless of who is in the team.

Of course, we are ready to conquer the goal. The players are very determined to wear the national team shirt. Playing for the national team is always an honor in the life of any player. But the rewards will only be received if we win the championship with the national team."
In Southeast Asia, Thailand is a country that often offers large bonuses before the national team or U23 participate in important tournaments. However, Thai football has continuously failed in recent years, from the AFF Cup, SEA Games to World Cup qualifiers.
This time, the Thai team is determined to reclaim the AFF Cup championship from the Vietnamese team. Although they are not in the same group, with the strength of the two teams, the probability that coach Park Hang-seo and his team will face the "War Elephants" in the next rounds is considered very high.
Why did coach Park Hang-seo choose 4 goalkeepers of the Vietnam national team to go to Singapore?
Coach Park Hang-seowants to have more choices in the goal of the Vietnam national team. Moreover, the Korean coach is calculating to create human resources for the youth teams.
Many people were surprised when the list of 30 Vietnamese players going to Singapore for the AFF Cup 2020 included 4 goalkeepers. Normally in previous tournaments, each team usually had 3 goalkeepers to prevent injuries and penalties, but Mr. Park surprised everyone by choosing 4 goalkeepers.

Coach Park Hang Seo selected 4 goalkeepers for the Vietnam national team to go to Singapore. |
That is because in previous tournaments, Van Lam played well and Van Toan played excellently, with stable performance. But this time, perhaps Mr. Park is not really confident in the goalkeeper position, so he brought 4 goalkeepers: Tan Truong, Van Chuan, Nguyen Manh and Van Hoang. Maybe Mr. Park calculated that if one of the 4 current goalkeepers of the Vietnam National Team does not play well, he will be replaced in the next match, so the team needs to have an abundant reserve source. On the other hand, Van Chuan - one of the four selected goalkeepers is also in the preparation plan for the Vietnam U23 team in the 2021 SEA Games or the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.
Therefore, it is likely that Mr. Park wants Van Chuan to practice and train with a large amount of time to improve his skills and expertise so that he can mature more next year in the U23 Vietnam shirt. It can be seen that Mr. Park is nurturing and preparing personnel for next year's youth tournaments through the AFF Cup 2020 campaign.
