Nguyen Xuan Son walks without crutches
The image of Nguyen Xuan Son confidently walking without crutches has moved many people. This is an important milestone in the recovery process of this naturalized striker, after a serious injury earlier this year.
After more than two months of treatment, Xuan Son initially had to move with crutches due to a complex closed fracture of the middle third of the two tibia bones, with two large fragments. However, most recently, thanks to persistent training, he was able to stand firmly and take his first steps without support.
In early March, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) updated the striker's situation with a positive assessment:
"Xuan Son's condition is progressing well. This player can now exercise lightly and recover actively with an intensity of 2 sessions/day. The amount of exercise is maintained to ensure muscle strength and stimulate faster bone healing."
What did the midfielder about to be naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen say when Nam Dinh crossed him out?
Midfielder Hendrio is sad that Nam Dinh Club did not register him to play in the tournament.Phase 2 of V.League 2024/25.
After speculations, Hendrio did not move to Binh Dinh Club and was not registered to play for Nam Dinh Club.
This means that the player born in 1993 will become an involuntary spectator for the remainder of the 2024/25 V.League season.
In the 2024/25 season, Hendrio started 8 matches, scored 3 goals and had 3 assists in the V.League. Last season, he also contributed greatly to the championship victory of the Southern team with 10 goals and 12 assists.
"I am disappointed and very sad that I was not registered to compete. I also do not understand the reason why this happened. But one thing is for sure, I will try my best, practice hard to maintain the best form, ready for the strongest comebacks," Hendrio shared with the press.
The player added: "I love Vietnam so I have no plans to move to another league. I have the opportunity to become a Vietnamese citizen next year and I am extremely excited about it. I love Vietnam, and it would be great if I could show my love by contributing to the national team.
Image of Messi stepping on Barcelona shirt
On the morning of March 17, the moment Lionel Messi stepped on Barcelona's shirt during Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Atlanta United caused a lot of controversy on social networks.
In the viral video, when Messi left the dressing room to walk onto the field, a Barcelona shirt appeared at his feet. In fact, this was an unexpected incident, not an intentional action from the Argentine superstar. The shirt was thrown down from the stands just as the former PSG star turned away, making him unaware and accidentally step on it.
The image immediately attracted attention and created a lot of mixed opinions. Some people thought that Messi was disrespecting the team that brought him to the top, while many others believed that this was just an unfortunate situation.
Despite criticism, many Barcelona fans spoke up to defend Messi. During more than 2 decades with the club, he won 10 La Liga titles, 4 Champions Leagues and scored a total of 672 goals, becoming the greatest player in the history of the team. With what he has been through, there is no reason for Messi to intentionally disrespect Barcelona.
