'Fake Messi' accused of defrauding 23 women; Ha Duc Chinh out for 3 months due to ankle injury
(Baonghean.vn) - Reza Parastesh is a famous person who looks like the Barca superstar, while his ankle injury is more serious than expected, forcing Ha Duc Chinh to sit out for 2 to 3 months for treatment.
Asian version of Messi
According to Marca (Spain), Parastesh, 26 years old, was caught up in a scandal of impersonating Messi to sleep with 23 women. Impersonating someone else to seduce women is considered rape in some countries.
However, Parastesh has denied the allegations. In a statement on Instagram, Parastesh asserted that this is just a rumor aimed at damaging his reputation. The "fake Messi" asserted that he will seek legal protection.

Parastesh's Instagram account is verified as being genuine, although most of his videos and photos are Messi parodies. Parastesh even has a photo with Real legend goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Ha Duc Chinh injured
The striker of Da Nang Club had problems with his ankle since March, after the Vietnam U23 team gathered to participate in the 2020 U23 Asian qualifiers. However, he still endured the pain to practice and compete, which made his performance not guaranteed. This also made the injury more serious.
According to the recent medical examination, the Phu Tho striker needs 2 to 3 months to recover from the injury. This is bad news for coach Le Huynh Duc, even though the Han River team is in a relatively safe position compared to the red light group.

After the 2-3 defeat against Hanoi FC at Hang Day Stadium, Mr. Duc spoke up and admitted: "Duc Chinh had an ankle injury but still hid it from me to play. His problem is neither serious nor light, but it affects his ability to play."
"Every time he moved, Duc Chinh showed discomfort. I noticed that he was in a lot of pain when he shot," Mr. Duc added.
The coach said he considered the possibility of sending his student for treatment, but personnel issues forced Duc Chinh to continue playing despite the pain. "I don't have any good strikers left. After the first leg, I will send him for treatment," Mr. Duc shared.
Ha Duc Chinh is the main striker of U22 Vietnam. Along with Tien Linh, he is expected to shine at the 30th SEA Games taking place later this year.
Vietnamese fans cause chaos on Buriram fanpage because of Xuan Truong
In many recent posts by Buriram FC, although not related to Xuan Truong, there are still many comments from Vietnamese fans. Most of them criticize and even insult Buriram for terminating the contract with Xuan Truong.
On June 26, the Thai football team and Xuan Truong officially parted ways. After parting ways with the midfielder from Tuyen Quang, Buriram United deleted almost all images related to Xuan Truong on their fanpage.
Vietnamese fans immediately expressed their anger. "Always showing themselves as a professional club but deleting the image of former players shows a lack of professionalism," a fan named Thanh Tri left a comment in English on the Buriram fanpage.

The above comments are just a few of the many criticisms directed at the Thai team. Not stopping there, many fans left even more severe comments, even cursing and insulting Buriram United and writing in English.
Also on the above fanpage, many Thai Buriram fans spoke up to defend their team. A Thai account named Chok commented: "Have you just started watching football? What happens in the national team has nothing to do with the club."
"This is normal for professional clubs. When you can't play for the team, your contract will be terminated," commented a fan named Wasan Theerawuth.
