Madam Pang hinted that U23 Thailand would eliminate U23 Vietnam in the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.

Madam Pang set the goal of U23 Thailand to reach the quarter-finals. That also means, this powerful female billionaire wants U23 Thailand to eliminate U23 Vietnam right from the group stage of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.

Madam Pang set the goal of U23 Thailand to reach the quarter-finals.

Madam Pang also told the Thai press: “The goal of U23 Thailand is to reach the quarterfinals, repeating the achievement of the previous tournament (in 2020 when this country was the host). However, to achieve this achievement, we must at least overcome 2 opponents in the same region in the same group (U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia before meeting the strong team Korea). To do that, the whole team must be truly determined and united, playing with the best performance to hope for victory.”

At the 2022 AFC U23 Championship, U23 Vietnam is in the same group with U23 Thailand, U23 Malaysia and U23 Korea. Facing a very strong U23 Korea and naturally the group leader, the remaining ticket in this group is the competition between U23 Vietnam, U23 Thailand and U23 Malaysia.

On June 2, U23 Thailand will face U23 Vietnam in the first round. The result of this match will directly affect the ability of both teams to continue.

Van Lam practices footwork when returning to Vietnam National Team

On the afternoon of May 26, at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center (Hanoi), the Vietnamese team entered their first training session in preparation for the international friendly match with the Afghanistan team on June 1. Normally, the goalkeepers will practice separately with the coach in a corner of the field, instead of warming up with the whole team.

Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.

But with Mr. Rogers, that distinction is erased. Van Lam, Tuyen Quang, Tuan Manh also have to run, compete for the ball, hold the ball and pass the ball like any other player on the field. Therefore, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and the two goalkeepers Tuan Manh and Tuyen Quang were asked to practice playing the ball with their feet.

Premier League dominates Champions League prize money

Thanks to their abundant and stable finances, Premier League representatives maintain their dominance in the Champions League compared to the other four major tournaments.

Liverpool will earn a lot of money if they win the 2021/22 Champions League.

UEFA has released figures on the distribution of prize money across European competitions last season, published by financial analysis account Swiss Ramble on Twitter. Unsurprisingly, Premier League clubs are ahead, amassing £414m across seven clubs.

Chelsea, last season's Champions League winners, top the list with £105m, followed by runners-up Manchester City with £104m, Liverpool with £77m and Manchester United with £70m. Spanish clubs received £351m in prize money from UEFA for last season's European success. Bundesliga clubs received just £180m, while Serie A clubs received £205m.

Ibrahimovic: "I played football for 6 months with a knee without ligaments"

Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has celebrated AC Milan's Serie A title win by announcing an eight-month layoff due to injury surgery, while revealing the pain he has been experiencing since early 2022.

Ibrahimovic will be out for the next 7-8 months.

The player has officially opened up about his latest injury, one that will keep him out of action for most of 2022. A trial that no one but him has had to endure. And he has endured it in silence.

"For the past 6 months, I have been playing football without ligaments in my left knee. My knee was swollen for 6 months. I could only train with the team 10 times in 6 months. I had to have 20 pain injections. I had to have fluid drained from my knee once a week for 6 months. I had to take painkillers every day for 6 months. I could barely sleep for 6 months because of the pain. I have never suffered so much, both on and off the pitch," Ibrahimovic shared on his personal Facebook page.
