Nam Dinh says goodbye to Coutinho, introduces new foreign player
After round 10, the mid-season transfer window of V-League 2023/2024 officially opened, a series of clubs brought in notable contracts such as Ha Tinh and Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Most recently, Nam Dinh Steel Club also said goodbye to striker Douglas Coutinho after less than 1 year of association, and completed the registration procedure for another Brazilian center-back, Lucas, and is expected to debut this new player right at the reception of Hanoi FC in round 11 of V-League 2023/2024 on February 28.
Lucas was born in 1992 in Brazil. Last season, he played 16 matches for Dinamo Bucharest in the Romanian national championship, including 15 full matches.
Playing for a quality European team shows Lucas's class. At 31, he is still at the peak of his form, playing regularly for Dinamo Bucharest before moving to V-League to try his hand.
Lucao was valued at 1.5 million euros by the transfer website Transfermarkt in 2020. The appearance of this player is expected to help the defense of the Southern team become more solid.
Korean newspaper criticizes officials for not choosing Coach Park to lead the home team
On February 27, the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced that Mr. Hwang Sun-hong became the interim coach of the Korean national team.
This is very surprising because previously the person rumored to have the highest possibility of becoming the captain of the Korean team was coach Park Hang-seo.
Immediately after this information, Korean media erupted in controversy.
“The appointment of Mr. Hwang Sun-hong as the interim coach of the Korean national team, instead of the currently unemployed coach Park Hang-seo, is very surprising. It seems that in March when the Korean U23 team participates in the U23 WAFF tournament in Saudi Arabia, there will be no official coach,” Korea Football News expressed.
Meanwhile, famous Korean journalist, football expert and presenter - Albert Kim said that the KFA's decision was unwise.
“Choosing coach Park Hang-seo has many more suitable factors when this military leader is free, has a good understanding of football in Southeast Asia and especially Thailand, the opponent of the Korean team for the upcoming task. However, the KFA chose coach Hwang Sun-hong and put itself in a difficult position,” the Korean journalist emphasized.
Albert Kim explained that Mr. Hwang is currently leading the Korean U23 team towards the U23 Asian tournament and the goal is to get a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Therefore, his move to work with the national team will certainly have a lot of influence on the Korean U23 team.
“It is completely unwise to ask coach Hwang Sun-hong to lead two Korean teams at the same time, even for a short period of time,” Albert Kim concluded.
French-Vietnamese player joins Hanoi Club
Hanoi Club has finalized the list of players to be added for the return leg of V.League 2023/2024 by adding the name of overseas Vietnamese Ryan Ha. The striker born in 1997 will wear the number 24 shirt for the capital team.
Ryan Ha has Vietnamese parents and was born in France. Before returning to Vietnam in 2023, Ryan played in the French 5th division without any notable achievements.
In his first season back home, Ryan scored 2 goals and assisted 2 goals in 17 matches for Khanh Hoa in the V.League, making a certain contribution to the team's relegation race. In the 2023/2024 season, Ryan moved to Binh Duong, only played 4 matches, mainly as a reserve and of course did not leave any mark.
Ryan has a good physique, 1.84 m tall, weighs 84 kg, can play as a striker and winger. Hanoi Club evaluates Ryan as suitable for their playing style and can serve the goal of competing for the championship.
Superstar Ronaldo suspended for 2 matches for offensive behavior
In the early morning of February 26, Al Nassr had a difficult away match against Al Shabab. Ronaldo put Al Nassr ahead 1-0 from the penalty spot in the 21st minute.
In the 86th minute, Al Nassr scored a valuable winning goal with a score of 3-2 thanks to Brazilian striker, Talisca.
Trong trận đấu, cầu thủ Ronaldo liên tục bị chọc tức khi hàng ngàn tiếng hô vang "Messi, Messi, Messi" vang lên mỗi lúc anh chạm bóng.
Không những vậy, khi anh thực hiện penalty vào thời điểm đầu trận, anh lại càng bị la ó dữ dội hơn. Có lẽ vì ức chế với các cổ động viên đội địch mà siêu sao này đã có phản ứng tiêu cực.
Sau khi ghi bàn và sau khi kết thúc trận đấu, anh đều ăn mừng kiểu thách thức. Ronaldo đưa hai tay lên tai với thông điệp thách cổ động viên đối phương rằng hãy hô tên Messi nữa đi. Đỉnh điểm, anh có màn ăn mừng tục tĩu, dạng hai chân ra và liên tục đưa tay lên xuống.
Chứng kiến động tác này, nhiều người liên tưởng đến những thông điệp thô thiển. Truyền thông Saudi Arabia đã kịch liệt chỉ trích anh.
"Mọi thứ đều có giới hạn, bất kể bạn nổi tiếng đến đâu. Đây là cách các giải đấu lớn vẫn thường vận hành", một bình luận viên bày tỏ quan điểm về những gì Ronaldo đã làm.
Ngay sau trận, Al Shabab cũng đã thu thập bằng chứng để gửi lên Ban tổ chức giải và không mất nhiều thời gian, án phạt đã được đưa ra.
Với án phạt mới nhất, Ronaldo sẽ vắng mặt 2 trận trên hành trình đua vô địch.
Như vậy, Ronaldo sẽ không có mặt trong trận đấu với Al Hazem vào ngày 1/3 và cũng có thể không được thi đấu trận lượt đi tứ kết AFC Champions League với Al Ain vào ngày 4/3./.
