Coach Park Hang-seo receives many positive signals

Coach Park Hang-seo received many positive signals before the 2020 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers after the 6-1 victory of U23 Vietnam against Chinese Taipei (China) in a practice match at Hang Day Stadium on the evening of March 16. The goalscorers for U23 Vietnam were Le Xuan Tu (15'), Nguyen Duc Chien (36'), Ha Duc Chinh (37'), Dinh Thanh Binh (49', 84') and Huynh Tan Sinh (73').

In the defense, it seems that Thanh Chung and Viet Anh are the central defenders that Coach Park Hang-seo likes. Both Viet Anh and Thanh Chung are players with good physique, are capable of playing high balls and are not afraid of collisions. In particular, Viet Anh played both halves in the recent practice match with Chinese Taipei, giving Coach Park Hang-seo more time to evaluate this player carefully.

In the forward line, 4 players Duc Chinh, Hoang Duc, Thanh Binh and Danh Trung all had the opportunity to play in each half. Duc Chinh and Thanh Binh were the ones who scored against Chinese Taipei. Thanh Binh alone scored 2 goals.

As for the defensive midfielder position, Thai Quy and Tien Dung were used in turn in each half. Coach Park Hang-seo needed a new central midfielder who could both support the defense and participate in the attack, and have the ability to connect the front and back lines.

Not an easy task, and that was also one of the important requirements set by Mr. Park in the practice match with Taiwan. At least in terms of results, the Korean coach was not disappointed with his choices!

Vu Van Thanh returns to competition in April

Vu Van Thanh suffered a ligament injury and had to go to Korea for surgery last October. Currently, he can train at high intensity with exercises such as raising his thighs in place, jumping and lifting heavy weights with his legs without any difficulty. It is expected that the player from Hai Duong can return to competition from next April.

"My injury is progressing well. I think I can return to play around the end of April," Vu Van Thanh shared. Van Thanh's return will make fans feel more secure about HAGL's defense. The mountain town team is currently ranked 9th in the V-League with only three points after the first three rounds.

Thai fans praise Cong Phuong's classy performance

Incheon United FC just lost 0-2 to Sangju Sangmu, a very strong team and is leading the K-League rankings. In this match, Cong Phuong entered the field in the 65th minute and left quite an impression with his confident dribbling. The most notable situation was in the 70th minute when Cong Phuong dribbled the ball from the middle and delicately passed the ball to Heo Yong-joon who faced the opposing goalkeeper.

Although he could not help Incheon get a point against Sangju, Cong Phuong's performance was enough to satisfy his fans. On the Southeast Asian football forum, many Thai fans gave the striker from Nghe An words of praise.

A fan named Chattanon Saekow wrote: "In that phase, Cong Phuong almost did all the most difficult things. Unfortunately, Cong Phuong's teammates could not complete the remaining things."

Buro Nattaphon Huvasmit said: "Even though he couldn't get the first assist, today's match is still a good opportunity for Cong Phuong to show off. Keep trying."

In fact, this defeat is not too surprising for Incheon because Sangju has home field advantage and is considered much stronger.

Coach Juergen Klopp reveals summer 2019 transfer plan

In a press conference before round 31 of the Premier League, coach Juergen Klopp confidently affirmed that Liverpool FC will not spend money in this summer transfer window.

"I don't want to say exactly what we're going to do next, but I don't think we're going to spend a lot of money or anything like that. The best way now is to try to develop the players and help them improve and play better together," the German coach stressed.

"Liverpool's main problem over the past decades has been letting players leave when they have a good team. That won't happen this year, that's for sure."

In 2018, Liverpool spent around 228 million pounds to recruit Van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Nabil Keita and Fabinho. These contracts have significantly strengthened the Anfield team, especially the defense.

Solskjaer identifies 3 names that will definitely leave MU in the summer

According to Manchester Evening News, Solskjaer has identified players to sell in the summer. Captain Antonio Valencia will definitely leave, while Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are also suggested to look for other destinations.

Alexis Sanchez is a rather complicated case. He has not shown his ability since moving to Man United from Arsenal in January 2017. Man United wants to get a decent amount of money by selling him. However, at the moment, not many teams are willing to rescue the Chilean star. Ander Herrera, after a period of excellent performance, is likely to have his contract extended. Meanwhile, the case of his compatriot Juan Mata is more complicated. Mata wants a 2-year contract but the Red Devils only want to sign a 1-year contract with an option to extend.

Pep Guardiola: Not winning the Champions League is a failure

In a recent interview, the Spanish strategist admitted that the goal he desires most at this time is the Champions League.

"I was judged in Munich as a failure and I would have been judged the same here if I hadn't won the Champions League," Pep Guardiola said. "My time in Munich wasn't good for most people because we never reached a final. We reached the semi-finals but that's it and that's why we're looked down upon. I'm a lucky guy, my standards are very high and I have to reach them."

"I have to accept that. I have won a lot of things in the past and that's why people think it's normal, but it's not normal. My standard is not: 'We are Man City, we have to win everything or it will be a disaster'. It would be a disaster if we didn't try to do everything in our power but as the fans know, I have a lot of complaints."
