Revealed opponent of Vietnam team in Korea; Who is the midfielder Hoang Anh Gia Lai who is called up to the national team for the first time?

Who is the midfielder Hoang Anh Gia Lai who first called up to the national team?

Midfielder Tran Bao Toan of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club has appeared in the national team's call-up list for the first time.

In the summons list ofCoach Kim Sang-sikannounced on the afternoon of November 18, Tran Bao Toan is the name that appeared for the first time, along with Doan Ngoc Tan (Thanh Hoa Club).

Although Bao Toan has been with Hoang Anh Gia Lai for 6 years, this is considered the first season that this midfielder has escaped the shadow of his seniors, to be able to participate in the national team.

Tran Bao Toan, born in 2000, grew up at Hoang Anh Gia Lai training center. Toan was born in Quang Ngai and has had a passion for football since childhood. After being discharged from PVF due to lack of physical strength, he decided to retake the exam to enter Hoang Anh Gia Lai academy in 2013 and was recruited into the third gifted class.

After many years of effort, starting over in Gia Lai, the first memorable milestone in Toan's career was being captain of the Hoang Anh Gia Lai U19 team in 2017 in the international U19 friendly tournament. One year later, Toan was called up to the Vietnam U19 team by coach Hoang Anh Tuan.

Unlike many players who grew up at Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Toan was not "forced to mature" and immediately played for a subjective club despite being very young. The Quang Ngai player was loaned to Pho Hien for 1 year (now PVF-CAND Club). In the match that decided the promotion ticket, Toan scored a double, helping Pho Hien beat Vung Tau 4-1, winning the right to play in the First Division in 2019. After making his mark in Pho Hien's shirt, Toan officially set foot in the first team of Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

After only 3 appearances this season, Toan has had 1 goal and 3 assists. In the 2 matches in which the Quang Ngai player was absent, Hoang Anh Gia Lai were held to a draw by Da Nang and Nam Dinh respectively. Having started in all matches in the V.League, the player wearing the number 15 shirt has become more confident and mature in each move.

After the resounding success of the generation of Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong…, Hoang Anh Gia Lai training center has not really introduced any similar names. Many people believe that this leading academy is no longer valuable. However, Bao Toan is trying to prove that is not true. Being called up to the national team for the first time is an important step in that journey.

MU wants to exchange Zirkzee for Osimhen

Manchester United are reportedly targeting the out-of-favour Napoli striker.

According to One Football, Manchester United want to use Joshua Zirkzee and 30 million euros to exchange for Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

A year ago, Osimhen was an untouchable name at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. He was the hero who brought the Serie A championship after many years of waiting for the Naples club. Even the President of Napoli once declared "150 million euros can only buy one leg of Osimhen".

However, the situation reversed for Osimhen from the beginning of the 2024/25 season. The striker had a conflict with coach Antonio Conte and was immediately removed from the plan. Napoli recruited Romelu Lukaku as a replacement and pushed Osimhen to Galatasaray on loan.

In the 2024/25 season, Osimhen proved his class as one of the world's top strikers. The Nigerian star contributed to 11 goals (8 goals, 3 assists) for the reigning Turkish champions.

Galatasaray's financial situation does not allow them to buy Osimhen outright. Therefore, this striker will likely have to find a new destination after the 2024/25 season. Napoli is said to be willing to sell Osimhen if they receive the full amount of 80 million euros.

In addition to Osimhen, MU is also targeting Viktor Gyokeres. Amorim's favorite player is shining brightly for Sporting and is valued at no less than 70 million euros.
