(BNA) - The reason why Hong Duy asked to withdraw from the Vietnam national team; Coach Vu Tien Thanh was proposed to be disciplined... are notable sports news in the past 24 hours.

The reason Hong Duy asked to withdraw from the Vietnam team

According to sources, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy was on the list of 28 players selected by coach Kim Sang-sik for the Vietnam national team. However, the player born in 1996 asked the coaching staff for permission to withdraw due to family reasons. In the end, the Korean coach agreed and did not add another player to replace him.

Coach Kim Sang-sik still has players who can play well in the left-back position such as Phan Tuan Tai, Pham Xuan Manh or Vu Van Thanh. Among them, Tuan Tai often plays as a starter on the left wing of The Cong Viettel Club. Xuan Manh or Van Thanh are right-footed, versatile defenders who can play in many different positions.

The Vietnamese team will begin training on June 1. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will have five days to prepare for the home match against the Philippines, which will take place at 7 p.m. on June 6, before moving to Iraq to play the final match of the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

Many social media sites fabricated coach Kim Sang-sik's statements.

In recent days, on social networks Facebook and TikTok, there have been continuous shares of statements said to be made by coach Kim Sang-sik when commenting on the quality of Vietnamese players.

Accordingly, a website posted an article: "After attending a few V.League matches, the Korean coach had the following assessment: The players' thinking and playing style lacked organization, with almost no cohesion; the players' physical strength was extremely poor, as they could only play for about 40-50 minutes at the beginning of the match; V.League teams mainly relied on the strength and scoring ability of foreign players."

Attached to the article, this website used a picture of Mr. Kim with the caption "Coach Kim Sang-sik criticized the quality of Vietnamese players as being far inferior to the Korean players he used to coach."

However, this is completely fabricated information from social networking sites to "attract views and likes".

Regarding this issue, on May 27, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) announced: "Currently, there are some social networking sites fabricating comments by coach Kim Sang-sik about Vietnamese players, mainly for the purpose of attracting views."

Coach Kim Sang-sik has not given any interviews to any press agencies since the head coach announcement ceremony and has not made any negative comments about Vietnamese players.

In addition to having his statements fabricated, coach Kim Sang-sik's personal Facebook account was also impersonated. Accordingly, many accounts were created under the name "Kim Sang-sik" for different purposes.

Coach Vu Tien Thanh is proposed to be disciplined for his offensive and defamatory statements towards VFF leaders.

Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) and the Organizing Committee of V.League 2023/2024 sent an official dispatch requesting the VFF Disciplinary Board to consider handling the violations of Mr. Vu Tien Thanh. This coach of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club has continuously made offensive statements to referees and members of the tournament organizing committee recently.

According to VPF, coach Vu Tien Thanh violated Clause 5, Article 37 of the Professional Football Regulations and Articles 45 and 66 of the regulations on discipline, behavior, offensive and provocative attitudes, and violations of speech and conduct in football activities.

VPF assessed that Mr. Vu Tien Thanh "took advantage of the post-match press conference to make statements in interviews with many contents unrelated to the match; in particular, he attacked and defamed the VFF organization, VPF and each individual VFF, more seriously, he had words that challenged disciplinary action for violating the statement".

VPF requested that VFF and the Disciplinary Board take strict action against coach Vu Tien Thanh, because this coach "repeatedly seriously violated" professional football regulations, tournament rules and VFF's disciplinary regulations.

European Golden Shoe Award goes to Harry Kane

Early morning of May 27, after the final round of European football tournaments ended, fans were still wondering who would be the owner of the European Golden Shoe? However, as expected, Harry Kane was the only name to win this prestigious award.

Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 and immediately proved his worth. After 32 appearances in the Bundesliga, the English striker scored 36 goals (an average of 1.125 goals/match).

With 36 goals, Kane also became the first English player to win the European Golden Boot since Kevin Phillips in the 1999/2000 season. In that season, the 50-year-old former striker scored 30 goals for Sunderland in the Premier League.

This is also the 6th time Harry Kane has won an award for his scoring achievements in his career./.
