In the 73rd minute, Nguyen Manh successfully blocked a shot in a face-to-face situation with Billy Ketkeophomphone of Laos. If it wasn't for a good save from Nguyen Manh, the Vietnam team could have conceded their first goal since 1998 against Laos. Sharing about that situation, Nguyen Manh said: "It was a situation that happened very quickly. Billy ran down and faced me. I saw him swing his leg and guessed it might be a low shot. At that time, I tried to read the situation and make a judgment. But I have to admit, I was lucky to block that shot."

Specifically, De Paula was substituted in the 65th minute of the 3-1 win over Cambodia in the first match of Group B, AFF Cup 2020 which took place on December 6. Before that, this naturalized striker played very poorly, so coach Tan Chang Hoe was forced to take him out and replace him with another player. The 35-year-old player reacted by kicking a water bottle and also had provocative actions towards Malaysian fans in the stands before going straight to the dressing room.

Mr. Tan Cheng Hoe was not satisfied with his student's attitude and said he would have a talk with De Paula to set an example for the young players.

As in the most recent match where Man United defeated Crystal Palace, Rangnick did not make any personnel changes like when they won against Arsenal. In the above two matches, left-back Luke Shaw was absent but now, he will play when MU meets Young Boys.
