Ole Romeny will replace striker Nguyen Xuan Son; Arsenal turns Real Madrid into former Champions League champion

This is not surprising when Ole Romeny is playing in the English First Division - a fiercely competitive environment where class and character are tested every week.

In the context that Nguyen Xuan Son - the number one striker of the Vietnamese team cannot participate due to injury, replacing him with a European striker like Romeny is completely reasonable, even enhancing the strength of coach Kim Sang-sik's attack.

The match between Southeast Asian stars and Manchester United is not just a show. It is an opportunity for regional football to affirm its stature, level and aspiration to reach international level.

Facing a MU that promises to bring famous names like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro or Marcus Rashford, the ASEAN All-Stars squad is forced to make quality choices, and Ole Romeny with his experience in Europe is an indispensable card.

The naturalized Indonesian striker was once considered one of the brightest talents in Dutch football. After 77 appearances for NEC Nijmegen with 12 goals and 8 assists, Romeny moved to FC Emmen and continued to shine with 14 goals and 5 assists in 51 matches.
