Indonesian newspaper calls Vietnam Olympic team "the ruler of Southeast Asia"

Indonesian daily Bolasport affirmed that the home team should not be complacent about the result of passing the group stage of the 2018 Asian Games, because that achievement is too modest compared to the Vietnam Olympic team.

At the 2018 Asian Games, the Indonesian Olympic team set a goal of reaching the semi-finals. However, the host team of the Asian Games stopped in the round of 16 after losing to the UAE in a penalty shootout. Malaysia also only reached the round of 16, after losing to Japan.

Vietnam Olympic team is the most successful team, reaching the semi-finals. That is the reason why the Indonesian press is worried about the home team, if the Indonesian team has to face the army of coach Park Hang Seo in the AFF Cup 2018.

Indonesian sports newspaper Bolasport recently published an article with the title: "Optimistic about passing the group stage, but Indonesia needs to be careful against the team that is dominating Southeast Asia".

This newspaper wrote: "If we follow the performance of Indonesian players at the 2018 Asian Games, it can be said that the team will easily pass the group stage, along with Thailand at the 2018 AFF Cup.

Hai Phong disciplines foreign players

Hai Phong FC said that striker Errol Anthony Stevens has been 'temporarily suspended from all training activities and regimes. Until a new decision from the club'.

The reason Errol Anthony Stevens was disciplined was because this foreign player criticized and said wrong things about Hai Phong Club in the media, publicly disclosed his contract, and arbitrarily left the team's living and working area.

Thus, Hai Phong will not have the service of this striker in the last 6 rounds of V-League 2018. Currently, Hai Phong is ranked 8th with 25 points. In round 21, Hai Phong will have a trip to Cam Pha Stadium to meet Than Quang Ninh Club.
