Quang Hai makes coach Park Hang-seo worried
In the last 2 rounds of V-League 2020, Quang Hai was absent due to not being in the best physical condition, causing Hanoi FC to only win 1 point.
"Quang Hai's health is very weak because of a fever. He has been receiving IV fluids for the past week. Quang Hai still has a fever," coach Chu Dinh Nghiem revealed about whether the 23-year-old midfielder can return to round 9 of V-League 2020.

Quang Hai's health situation is giving coach Park Hang-seo a "headache" because the U22 Vietnam team and the national team will have many goals to achieve in the near future.
Man City crushed Newcastle 5-0
In the early morning of July 9 (Hanoi time), Man City destroyed Newcastle on the day David Silva shone with a goal and made an assist for Jesus to open the score.
The match between Man City and Newcastle took place in round 34 of the Premier League 2019/20. Coach Pep Guardiola and his team need a win to consolidate their 2nd place. Meanwhile, Newcastle is currently in the middle of the rankings and has no more goals to strive for.

UAE finalizes plan to overthrow Vietnam and Thailand national teams
From the disadvantage of the national team not being able to play in the domestic tournament which was canceled halfway, new coach Jorge Luis Pinto immediately turned it into an advantage with a plan to create a difference compared to Vietnam and Thailand.
The impact of the Covid-19 epidemic caused the UAE National Championship to be canceled midway. The UAE players themselves are also directionless because of that. Because if there is no World Cup 2022 qualifiers taking place in October and November, the UAE players will not have any professional level matches for the rest of 2020.
Compared to the ongoing V.League, the Malaysia Super League or the Thai League that will start in the near future, the fact that the UAE National Championship cannot be held will certainly greatly affect the performance of the UAE National Team. Especially when in the current group stage, the UAE, although playing 1 match less than its opponents, is ranked 4/5, 5 points behind the top team Vietnam.

However, in the above disadvantage, the newly appointed coach of UAE, Jorge Pinto, knows how to find the advantage to have a thorough preparation plan.
Accordingly, the UAE Football Federation announced that the national team plans to gather twice in July and August to prepare for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Hanoi FC "said bitter words" to SC Heerenveen about Van Hau's matter
Recently, Hanoi Club announced that SC Heerenveen must finalize the deal for Doan Van Hau before July 15, 2020, otherwise the defender born in 1999 will return home.
After a long period of silence, SC Heerenveen has made a new move regarding the Doan Van Hau deal. Specifically, the Dutch team has emailed Hanoi FC to ask about how to support salary payments.

Binh Dinh: Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's "seat" is already "hot"?
The 0-1 loss at Ba Ria Vung Tau Stadium dealt a heavy blow to Binh Dinh's ambition to win a ticket to V.League in the 2020 First Division. This defeat certainly has a significant impact on the future of coach Nguyen Duc Thang at the team in the land of Vo.
The 2020 First Division has become much more fierce when 12 teams only compete for a ticket to V.League 2021. On the current rankings, Binh Dinh is ranked 4th (9 points), 7 points behind the leading team Sanna.KH. The score of course does not tell the whole story, because according to the regulations, 12 teams will compete in one round and then choose 6 teams in the top half of the rankings to compete for the championship. The problem is that Binh Dinh shows inexperience compared to other opponents.

Huge challenges await Mr. Nguyen Duc Thang. If Binh Dinh stumbles again, the chair this coach is sitting on may be shaken.
