(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Park Hang Seo received more bad news; Hong Kong bought the copyright of ASIAD for only 1/3 of the original value; U23 Uzbekistan was without a leader when facing U23 Vietnam... are updated information about ASIAD 18.
U23 Vietnam has another injured player
During the afternoon training session on July 31, midfielder Nguyen Trong Dai was unable to practice with his teammates. The midfielder, who plays for Viettel Club, had to practice with a separate training program from Korean doctor Choi Joo Young.
Doctor Choi is the one who treated Park Ji Sung and midfielder Tuan Anh. Most likely, Trong Dai's injury is not too serious and he will soon return in the next 1-2 training sessions of U23 Vietnam.
U23 India is not allowed to participate in ASIAD 2018
The Indian Olympic Committee (IOA) refused to allow the U23 team to participate in football, due to the team's poor performance at the previous ASIAD. The Indian U23 team was not among the top 8 teams in the region in 2014.
Previously, when there was information about the additional draw of 2 teams U23 Palestine and U23 UAE, U23 India took the opportunity to work with relevant agencies to get the "green light". They almost succeeded, but the IOA rejected this application.
"It was a bad decision. The tournament only comes once in four years and the team doesn't always have the same squad after four years. This squad is not the same as the team from four years ago or eight years ago. This has hurt the team, this time India has the ability to get through the group stage," said U23 India head coach Stephen Constantine.
U23 Uzbekistan lacks leader when facing U23 Vietnam
Recently, U23 Uzbekistan head coach Ravshan Khaydarov announced the list of 20 players he will bring to Vietnam to participate in the Four Nations Cup (against Vietnam, Oman and Palestine) before going to Indonesia to start the conquest of Asiad. Most notably, leader Dostonbek Khamdamov was absent.
This player was the one who made 2 assists for his teammates to score against U23 Vietnam in the final match of U23 Asia 2018. Currently, Dostonbek Khamdamov is playing for Anzhi Club in the Russian Premier League. And he also cannot participate in the 2018 ASIAD because Anzhi Club did not release the player.
ASIAD copyright in Hong Kong costs only 2 million USD
Hong Kong Cable TV made a last-minute decision when the unit holding the broadcasting rights to the 2018 ASIAD suddenly reduced the original value by 1/3.
The 2018 Asian Games is the event that Hong Kong has the largest number of athletes participating in so far, about 700 people. Therefore, the need to follow information and images for the people has become urgent. However, 6 million USD in copyright fees is too high a price.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) said that this figure is certainly not something any television unit can afford. But at the last minute, the company i-cable Communications Ltd - Cable TV decided to jump in after the government's encouragement.
From 6 million USD, this figure has dropped by 1/3 to only 2 million USD. This figure, compared to the tens of millions of USD that foreign partners offered to VTV, is only less than 1/10.
Dentsu is the copyright holder of the 2018 Asian Games broadcasting rights. The Japanese company's sudden price cut has excited many Hong Kong officials and citizens. A group of former top athletes also donated money to help the government buy the copyright for the 2018 Asian Games.
