Coach Mai Duc Chung makes a surprising decision with the Vietnamese women's team
On the afternoon of August 16, Coach Mai Duc Chung announced the list of Vietnam Women's Team to gather in August 2024.
Coach Mai Duc Chung surprised many people when he called up 5 young players: Nguyen Thi Kim Yen; Nguyen Thi Thuy Linh (Ho Chi Minh City I); Luu Nhu Quynh (Thai Nguyen T&T); Ta Thi Thuy (Phong Phu Ha Nam), Tran Nhat Lan (Than Khoang San Viet Nam). This is the first gathering of female players in 2024 - a year without many notable tournaments.
In addition, this coach called up midfielder Nguyen Thi Van. This player had been absent for nearly 2 years due to injury. However, her convincing performance in the national women's championship was enough for the midfielder of Vietnam Minerals to return to the national team.
In addition, striker Huynh Nhu will participate in this training session after finishing her 2-year playing period in Portugal for Lank Club.
The training session will be divided into 2 phases to review the players' abilities and find suitable pieces for the Vietnam Women's Team towards the 33rd SEA Games. Phase 1 of the training session will start from August 18 to September 1 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center (Hanoi); from September 1 to September 15, the team will train in the Czech Republic.
Nam Dinh announces foreign player who used to play in Japan
On the afternoon of August 16, Nam Dinh Club officially announced a new contract - midfielder Caio Cesar from Brazil.
Caio Cesar is 1.93m tall and is expected to help Nam Dinh Club gain more strength in the midfield, aiming for success in both the domestic arena and the AFC Champions League Two (Asian C2 tournament).
Before joining Nam Dinh, the rookie born in 1995 played in Serie A and Serie B, the two top leagues in Brazil. He also spent a long time playing for two clubs, Kawasaki Frontale and V-Varen Nagasaki in Japan.
Caio Cesar is Nam Dinh's fourth new player. Previously, the team signed contracts with three players: Joseph Mpande, Tran Van Trung and Walber Motta.
Rafaelson has the opportunity to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey
According to Vlog Minh Hai, striker Rafaelson is completing the procedures to obtain Vietnamese citizenship. If everything goes well, in the 2024/25 V-League, the striker from Nam Dinh Steel Blue can be registered as a domestic player.
Thus, if he soon obtains Vietnamese citizenship, Rafaelson will have the opportunity to join the Vietnamese team to participate in the AFF Cup 2024 taking place at the end of this year. This is considered a quality addition to the Golden Dragons' attack in the context that the Red Army is in dire need of a quality striker to conquer the throne.
As for Rafaelson, this striker is also very interested in the prospect of taking Vietnamese nationality and wearing the national team jersey to contribute his talent to this second homeland.
Last season, Rafaelson played extremely impressively with 31 goals after 25 appearances in the V-League and helped the team from Thanh Nam win the championship.
As for the Vietnamese team, the red team will play friendly matches with Russia and Thailand in September. This is an opportunity for coach Kim Sang Sik to test his playing style and squad, in preparation for the 2024 AFF Cup with the goal of winning the championship.
The new season has not yet started, but Mr. Duc's team received bad news.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai is currently training in Thailand for the 2024/2025 season. But in the midst of preparing for the new season, Hoang Anh Gia Lai received bad news when goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai was injured.
It is known that Phan Dinh Vu Hai has a sprained hand so he cannot go to Thailand with the mountain town team for training. According to the conclusion of the doctors, the goalkeeper born in 1994 will need a lot of time to recover and he may miss the first stage of V-League 2024/2025.
This is bad news for Mr. Duc's team because Phan Dinh Vu Hai is currently the best goalkeeper they have.
Some sources say that Trung Kien will likely be the main goalkeeper for Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the coming time in V-League 2024/2025. But this is definitely a risky decision because the player born in 2003 does not have much playing experience./.
