After winning the U16 Southeast Asian Championship, U16 Indonesia was invited to the flag-raising ceremony to celebrate National Day, witnessed by President Joko Widodo.

Yesterday, August 17, Indonesia held a flag-raising ceremony to celebrate the 77th anniversary of its independence at Merdeka Palace. With the achievement of winning the Southeast Asian championship, all 28 players and coaching staff of the U16 Indonesia were invited to attend. This is a rare occasion for an Indonesian team to appear at this important ceremony.

After the flag-raising ceremony, the Indonesian U16 team was personally welcomed by President Joko Widodo at his workplace and sent words of encouragement to the entire team.

"Congratulations to the young players. I have seen how well you played. We must maintain this form, do not let the U23 age group lose stability," said President Joko Widodo.

Indonesia U16 was invited to the flag raising ceremony to celebrate National Day, witnessed by President Joko Widodo.

Meanwhile, Coach Bima Sakti showed President Joko Widodo the Southeast Asian U16 Championship Cup and said it was a gift to the Indonesian people on National Day.

During the meeting, President Joko Widodo promised to help Indonesian football develop further. In the immediate future, the head of the Republic of Indonesia has directed investment in the construction of a modern football training center in the new capital of Indonesia. The representative office of the Indonesian Football Federation will also be moved here.

The team from the archipelago topped Group A, before defeating Myanmar and Vietnam in the semi-finals and finals respectively. This is Indonesia's first regional title after consecutive tournament failures, from the AFF Cup 2020 to the 31st SEA Games.

What did Binh Dinh Club leaders say after successfully recruiting Van Lam?

Binh Dinh FC announced successful recruitmentGoalkeeper Dang Van Lamfrom Cerezo Osaka Club (Japan) a few days ago. The goalkeeper born in 1993 passed the medical test, completed all procedures and can immediately play for the martial arts team in round 13 of V.League 2022 taking place this weekend.

On the afternoon of August 17, through the official Facebook page, Binh Dinh Club President Nguyen Van Cuong shared the reason for bringing goalkeeper Dang Van Lam back to Vietnam to compete. In the sharing, the team leader unexpectedly revealed that Lam "Tay" had many "disadvantages" during his two years playing in Japan.

“Dang Van Lam is a good player, who has contributed a lot to the Vietnam national team, but in the past 2 years he has not had many opportunities to play. This is a big loss for the player. Therefore, bringing Van Lam to Binh Dinh club is an effort. This also comes from the encouragement of many people, famous names who love sports and Vietnamese football. We want to help this player play regularly, regain his form and have many opportunities to show and contribute to the Vietnam team,” the leader of Binh Dinh FC shared.

Dang Van Lam returns to V.League 2022 after more than 3 years since leaving Hai Phong FC. Previously, this goalkeeper joined Muangthong United club in Thailand in January 2019, then moved to Cerezo Osaka team in January 2020 until before joining Binh Dinh FC.

During his time playing football in Thailand, Dang Van Lam played well, taking the starting position at the club, thereby maintaining his peak performance. But until moving to Japan, the Vietnamese goalkeeper was constantly on the bench, and also suffered a shoulder injury.

Therefore, Dang Van Lam's chances of participating in the Vietnam national team in the past time are also very small. The number 1 goalkeeper position in the red-yellow-star army currently belongs to Bui Tan Truong or Nguyen Manh.

The decision to return to Vietnam to play is considered reasonable by fans for Dang Van Lam at this time. The martial arts team has strong financial potential, a squad of many talented players and is ready to compete for the V.League championship. At Binh Dinh FC, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam wears the number 35 shirt with a 3.5-year contract.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost a key player in round 13 of V.League

Hoang Anh Gia Lai will not have their strongest squad in the match against Hai Phong FC this weekend for various reasons. After a 1-2 loss in the previous round, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has now dropped to 3rd place in the rankings and is 7 points behind the leading team Hanoi FC. Coach Kiatisak's team is even ranked below Song Lam Nghe An with 1 point less.

Leaving behind the sadness of defeat, the team from the Mountain City will return home to welcome Hai Phong FC this weekend. The team from the Port City currently has 17 points, 2 points behind Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

Hong Duy is absent from the match against Hai Phong due to suspension.

Before the home match against Hai Phong,Hoang Anh Gia Laireceived bad news when Hong Duy was not available due to suspension from the organizers. Specifically, in the away match against Hanoi last weekend, Phong Hong Duy received a yellow card after fouling Van Quyet and will have to be a spectator for the 13th round this weekend.

Hong Duy's absence will force Coach Kiatisuk to change his personnel. Van Thanh may be pushed to the left wing and other faces will be arranged to play on the right wing.

Besides the absence of Hong Duy, the home team is at risk of not having the service of Tran Minh Vuong as this midfielder is currently injured and the return date is unknown.

Although many key players may be absent when facing Hai Phong, Coach Kiatisak is still optimistic. He affirmed that Hoang Anh Gia Lai is not worried about personnel, because this team has a force of 31 players capable of rotating in each match.

The biggest consolation for Hoang Anh Gia Lai in this round is the return of key striker Cong Phuong. Previously, in the match against Hanoi FC, the Nghe An-born striker had health problems and could not play.

Certainly, Kiatisak and his team still have not gotten over the 0-4 defeat in the four-team tournament held at Lach Tray Stadium a few months ago, a match witnessed by Mr. Duc and senior leaders of Hai Phong football.

With the addition of foreign players and home field advantage, Cong Phuong and his teammates will take to the field with 200% strength to defeat their opponents and return to the race for the championship this season.

The match between home team Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hai Phong FC will take place at 5:00 p.m. on August 19 at Pleiku Stadium.

Referee Ngo Duy Lan was suspended, Thanh Hoa club lost its head coach in round 13 of V.League 2022

After the troubles encountered in the match between Hanoi FC and Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 12 of V.League 2022, referee Ngo Duy Lan was not assigned to officiate in round 13. Referee Ngo Duy Lan was not named in the list of referees assigned in round 13 of V.League 2022. Previously, the head of the VFF referee committee, Duong Van Hien, assessed that Mr. Ngo Duy Lan had made a mistake in the match between Hanoi FC and Hoang Anh Gia Lai, affecting the result of the match. Mr. Lan also admitted his mistake.

In the 33rd minute, when the score was 0-0, striker Bruno Henrique was stepped on by defender Do Duy Manh while fighting in the penalty area. Mr. Ngo Duy Lan had a good view but did not call a penalty in this situation, creating a huge wave of controversy in the past few days. The referee board did not publicly announce the specific penalty for Mr. Ngo Duy Lan. For now, Mr. Lan will be suspended for round 13 of the V.League.

Mr. Ngo Duy Lan is a FIFA referee in Vietnam, he is the only one who has achieved Elite level, the highest level in the FIFA referee system. At present, Mr. Lan is the most trusted referee in V.League. Making mistakes is regrettable.

Besides Mr. Ngo Duy Lan, another person who was absent in round 13 due to a penalty was Thanh Hoa coach Petrovic. This strategist received 3 yellow cards and was banned from coaching for 1 match. Mr. Petrovic is a hot-tempered person, often warned by the referee for his reactionary behavior.
