Vietnamese women, both 'fighting' and... hoping for luck; HAGL does not let Cong Phuong go to Thailand despite 'huge' salary

Vietnamese women compete for 2020 Olympic tickets: "Fighting" and... hoping for luck!

Defeating Myanmar and getting an early ticket to the play-off round, the Vietnamese women's team is very close to the door of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Vietnamese girls still have a lot to improve.

Whether facing Australia or China, the Vietnamese women's team will have a difficult time, being determined to be the "underdog". It should also be mentioned that even when facing a team of lower level like Myanmar, coach Mai Duc Chung's students only showed good spirit, but there are still many things to improve in terms of skills, especially finishing.

The 2020 Olympic door for the Vietnamese women's team is only 2 matches away (actually only the play-off match), but this is a huge challenge.

HAGL does not let Cong Phuong go to Thailand despite huge salary

HAGL has rejected an offer from a broker in Thailand for Cong Phuong.

Cong Phuong prepares for the new season in Ho Chi Minh City.

In fact, the offer from Thailand to HAGL for striker Nguyen Cong Phuong came last year, before the striker went to Sint Truidense on loan. Specifically, this offer included a salary of 10,000 USD/month, a private house and a car for Cong Phuong to actively travel and live.

Bilbao 1-0 Barca result: Messi 'silent', Barca eliminated from Spanish King's Cup like Real

Not long after Real Madrid lost 3-4 at home to Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the Spanish King's Cup, it was the turn of the giants Barcelona to suffer a similar fate. The bitter thing was that they conceded the only goal in the Basque country when the match was only counted by seconds.

Bilbao brilliantly defeated Barca at the last minute.

So after 6 consecutive years of making their name in the final of the Spanish King's Cup (4 times crowned), Barca had to stop right at the quarter-finals. The consolation for them is probably that their great rival Real was also eliminated so they have no chance of being crowned.

Losing shockingly to Sociedad, Zidane still denies underestimating his opponent

Real Madrid unexpectedly lost 3-4 to Real Sociedad right at home at the Bernabeu and had to stop in the quarter-finals of the King's Cup. However, coach Zinedine Zidane did not think that the team lost due to his mistake in choosing the starting lineup.

Many people criticized Zidane for being too confident when he fielded a team with many reserve players and only kept a few key players.

"This defeat is extremely painful but we will have to put it aside to focus on the next matches. Real still have important arenas such as La Liga or the Champions League and we need to recover immediately," he added.
