Le Cong Vinh has not seen anyone worthy of winning the Vietnamese Golden Ball.
According to former striker Le Cong Vinh, the awardbest player in Vietnam 2024very unpredictable, may have to wait until after AFF Cup to find the owner.
This year, the nominees for the male players include Nguyen Tuan Anh, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Nguyen Dinh Bac, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Filip, Nguyen Quang Hai, Pham Tuan Hai, Bui Vi Hao, Khuat Van Khang, Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Tien Linh, Tran Nguyen Manh, Chau Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Van Quyet, Hoang Vu Samson, Nguyen Thai Son, Vu Van Thanh, Nguyen Van Toan, Cao Van Trien and To Van Vu.
According to Cong Vinh - who won the Golden Ball three times in 2004, 2006 and 2007 - this year's award will be very difficult to predict because the V-League is played consecutively between two seasons, the national team mainly plays friendly matches and will not play the AFF Cup - named ASEAN Cup from this year - until the end of the year.
"This year's award is very special and we have to wait for the ASEAN Cup to end to find a worthy player," said Cong Vinh. "At present, striker Nguyen Tien Linh is playing well, scoring regularly over six rounds of the V-League. If he helps Vietnam play well in the Southeast Asian Championship at the end of the year and Binh Duong achieves good results, he will have an advantage. But right now, it is impossible to say who is most deserving."
Da Nang Club goalkeeper goes abroad for exactly 5 days
Goalkeeper Ho Tung Han only had time to go abroad for exactly 5 days before returning to play in the V.League for Da Nang Club.
The leader of Da Nang Club confirmed with VTC News: "We had to call Ho Tung Han back to Vietnam just a few days after he was abroad. This was a reluctant decision when the team had no goalkeeper other than Pham Van Cuong. Tung Han still has many opportunities in the future.".
In early November, Tung Han went to Singapore for a trial and was confirmed to sign a contract by the team in the Lion Island. However, the Singapore championship is still in progress and it is not the time for a transfer. Tung Han will start playing from 2025. Returning to Vietnam to play for a short period in the V.League does not affect his future when going abroad.
Ruben Amorim helps Sporting crush Man City
Early morning of November 6 (Hanoi time), the new Man Utd coach helped Sporting Lisbon beat Man City 4-1 in League Phase, Champions League season 2024/25.
In the last home match before joining Man Utd, coach Ruben Amorim had a "test" named Manchester City in the Champions League. Against an opponent that was considered superior, Sporting Lisbon still showed high confidence.
However, the Portuguese side's home-field play soon backfired. In the 4th minute, Phil Foden punished a Sporting CP player for losing the ball to unleash a powerful shot from the 16.5m line, opening the scoring.
The unbelievable scenario happened at the beginning of the second half, when Sporting Lisbon scored 2 goals in a row to lead Man City 3-1. In the 46th minute, Pedro Goncalves made a good pass for Araujo to escape and shoot past Ederson. 3 minutes later, Gyokeres successfully executed a penalty kick, helping the home team create a 2-goal gap against "The Cityzens".
After Haaland's miss, Sporting were awarded a second penalty in the 81st minute. Gyokeres fired a powerful shot into the far corner. Ederson dived in the right direction but still couldn't save the goal. The Swedish star completed his hat-trick against the Premier League champions.
Amorim had a perfect farewell to Sporting fans. On November 11, he will officially take over at Old Trafford. The 39-year-old strategist is expected to revive MU after a period of decline.
Real Madrid fall to Milan in Champions League
Striker Alvaro Morata scored to help AC Milan beat hosts Real Madrid 3-1 in the fourth round of the Champions League.
Still having two attacking stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, Real was still helpless against a Milan team that was only ranked seventh in Serie A. Vinicius earned a penalty and then scored the equalizer 1-1 in the 23rd minute, but Morata and Tijjani Reijnders scored in turn to seal a 3-1 victory for the away team.
Real and Milan have the most achievements in the Champions League and European Cup, with a combined 22 titles. But the Italian representative's victory is surprising, as the last time they were crowned was in 2007, while Real have won all nine of their most recent Champions League finals.
