Philippines coach "turns around" after declaring defeating Indonesia to let Vietnam advance
Coach Tom Saintfiet said the Indonesian media is misunderstanding his statements after the match with the Vietnamese team.
After the defeat against Vietnam, the Philippines went to Indonesia to face the host team in the final match of Group F, the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
“I have seen some media in Indonesia. Honestly, I am not satisfied with what they wrote about my statement in Vietnam,” said Mr. Tom Saintfiet.
The Philippines coach explained: “At that time, the Vietnamese media asked me if their team had a chance to pass this qualifying round?
I said that the Philippines will try their best to beat Indonesia and you have to support us, because if we beat Indonesia, the Vietnamese team will advance if they beat Iraq.
I would like to emphasize that I am not saying this to support the Vietnamese team. The Indonesian press has misunderstood."
Real Madrid close to signing Bundesliga's best player
“Los Blancos” are not resting after winning the 2023/24 Champions League. After Kylian Mbappe, Florian Wirtz is predicted to be the next big name to arrive at Santiago Bernabeu.
Marca reported that Real Madrid had reached a deal with Wirtz. Accordingly, the German international will stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season (2024/25 - PV), before joining “Los Blancos” in the summer of 2025. The Spanish club is said to have completed personal agreements with the 21-year-old midfielder.
According toGoal, Real Madrid must spend about 150 million Euros if they want this deal to go through as planned. A large part of that is for the contract termination fee, because the contract between Leverkusen and Wirtz is valid until 2027.
Tottenham sells the club's most expensive player
Tottenham are preparing to let go of Tanguy Ndombele - the London team's most expensive signing, even though the two sides still have 1 year left on their contract.
Ndombele joined Spurs in the summer of 2019 for a record transfer fee of £65 million.
However, the French midfielder has not lived up to expectations. He has been out of the Tottenham squad since early 2022. He has spent the last two seasons on loan at Napoli and Galatasaray.
During his five years at Spurs, Ndombele made 91 appearances, scored 10 goals and rarely made an impression under managers Pochettino, Mourinho or Antonio Conte.
According to the Evening Standard, the North London team is ready to cut their losses to let the former Lyon midfielder leave for free, even though Ndombele's contract with Tottenham still has 1 year left.
