(Baonghean.vn) - After 2 halves of 0-0 draw, Uruguay lost 4-5 in the penalty shootout - where Luis Suarez was the only player to miss, in the quarter-finals of Copa America 2019; Evidence of Mbappe's move to Real revealed, Former Japanese coach has the ability to lead Thailand?... are the outstanding sports news that just took place.

Suarez missed the penalty shootout.

It was a bitter defeat for Uruguay considering the chances they missed. The famous strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani both had good chances, but only one of them was successful. Early in the first half, Suarez headed over the bar despite being unmarked in the penalty area. Then, the Barca striker had a signature dribble and shot from a tight angle. Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese could not catch it but Cavani incredibly tapped the ball wide from close range in front of an empty goal.

Uruguay were denied their first goal after some well-worked play. The constant pressure left the Peruvian defence exposed and their net shook after Giorgian De Arrascaeta tapped the ball in with a first touch. But the passer Nahitan Nandez was clearly offside.

Peru felt they deserved a penalty after Pablo Guerrero went down after a collision with Jose Gimenez. It was a rare sharp attack from Peru but Uruguay maintained their trademark solidity in defence with two top centre-backs in Diego Godin and Gimenez. Gimenez also made a precise tackle to deny Guerrero late in the first half.

Uruguay are not all about defenders. Their midfield did a good job of controlling the game. Real Madrid's Federico Valverde had a powerful free kick that Gallese struggled to block early in the second half. What Tabarez's players lacked was perhaps luck. As if to join the attackers, captain Godin also fired high into the air from a clear chance in front of goal.

Uruguay had two goals ruled out by VAR midway through the second half, both for offside. Cavani broke free down the left flank before sprinting and finishing with skill to beat Gallese, but he was half a step behind the last Peru defender. Not long after, Suarez was also penalised for using Martin Caceres’ cross to put the ball into the net with his knee. The repeated interventions by VAR will likely become a topic of discussion after the match when it is met with boos from the stands.

Uruguay’s final chance once again fell to Suarez. The Barca striker received a pass from his teammate in the third minute of added time but lacked the strength to finish. Suarez has been criticised for gaining weight recently and this move was a reflection of his decline.


Not only that, Suarez also could not beat Gallese in the first penalty shootout. Although Uruguay's next four kicks were all successful, Peru still won because their players showed mental strength and shot very well. After Edison Flores succeeded in the last kick, Suarez burst into tears.

Former Japanese coach to lead Thailand?

The former Japan coach told reporters that he was only there to watch the match and did not reveal any details about the possibility of signing a contract to manage Thailand. However, some sources said that the Football Association of Thailand will complete the contract with him early next week. Mr. Nishino is expected to watch another match in Bangkok on Sunday, June 30.

There are several players in the True Bangkok United squad who play for the Thai national team. These could be the players Mr. Nishino was watching before taking office.

The 64-year-old coach once led Japan to the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup. His team also almost reached the quarter-finals when leading Belgium 2-0 but lost 2-3.


Rumors of Thailand appointing Mr. Nishino have been circulating for the past few weeks. The Thai federation has been under pressure after a disappointing performance in the annual King's Cup, where Thailand lost both matches to Vietnam and India.

Previously, Thailand fired coach Milovan Rajevac right after losing to India in the 2019 Asian Cup. The interim leader in the recent King's Cup, Sirisak Yodyardthai, also resigned after the tournament ended.

Evidence of Mbappe going to Real revealed

Mbappe's current contract with PSG will expire in the summer of 2022. With many teams eyeing Mbappe, PSG's board of directors has prepared a new contract with a huge salary for the 20-year-old striker. However, according to Marca, Mbappe flatly refused.

Mbappe does not see a long-term future with PSG, so he wants to find a place that can help him improve himself and compete for titles. Mbappe will continue to contribute to PSG for another season. If the 20-year-old striker is determined to leave, PSG may have to sell him in the summer transfer window of 2020.

Mbappe was scouted by Real Madrid after the 2018 World Cup to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. However, PSG is determined to keep the brightest talent in French football at the moment. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi once declared: "Mbappe is not for sale".

On Eden Hazard’s debut day at the Bernabeu, Real fans chanted: “Mbappe, we want him to join Real.” When Mbappe left Monaco in the summer of 2017, Real was the first team to approach the young French star. However, billionaire Perez and his associates failed because PSG promised to give Mbappe a contract with unprecedented benefits for a player under 20 years old.

According to Transfermarkt, Mbappe is the most expensive player on the planet with a value of 200 million euros. The stars behind Mbappe are Neymar (180 million euros), Mohamed Salah (150 million euros) and Harry Kane (150 million euros). Besides skill level, the important criterion for Transfermarkt to value players is development potential.
