Quang Hai and Hoang Duc received important tasks; Coach Kim Sang-sik was right with Dang Van Lam... are the outstanding sports news that happened in the past 24 hours.
Quang Hai and Hoang Duc receive important tasks
After announcing the list with 26 players,Coach Kim Sang Sikhad to reluctantly adjust personnel when goalkeeper Nguyen Filip asked to withdraw for family reasons.
Not only that, the Korean strategist is also worried about the case of striker Nguyen Tien Linh. The 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball was injured after a strong collision with center-back Bui Tien Dung, in the match Binh Duong 1-2 The Cong Viettel in the V-League round.
In this training session, if Tien Linh is absent or not in the best form, the three strikers of the Vietnamese team, Tuan Hai, Vi Hao and Thanh Binh, will be questioned about their ability to shoulder the responsibility of scoring goals for the Vietnamese team.
The good news for the Korean strategist is that Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Doan Ngoc Tan, Trieu Viet Hung... are all in very good form.
Coach Kim Sang-sik was right with Dang Van Lam
Although goalkeeper Dang Van Lam himself assessed his form as good, coach Kim Sang-sik was not wrong with him.
After Ninh Binh beat Hue 2-0 on the afternoon of March 9, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam said: “I am in good form. The team has played 11 matches and only conceded 1 goal, and I am proud to contribute to this achievement of the whole team.”
But this parameter is only meaningful to the tournament and Van Lam personally, not enough to be a measure for coach Kim Sang-sik to consider choosing him for the national team.
This problem is not difficult to explain when the level of the First Division and V.League has a huge difference. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam's team is really too strong compared to the rest of the tournament, because they own the most expensive contracts in Vietnamese football at present. That is Hoang Duc, Van Lam, even Dinh Thanh Binh is also a star on the attack line of the Vietnam team under coach Kim Sang Sik. A team stronger than many teams in V.League if only counting the strength of domestic players.
The big difference between the First Division and the V.League is that they don’t use foreign players. Many opponents don’t have good strikers, and without foreign players, Van Lam doesn’t have many opportunities to show his ability at the highest level.
The above problem contributes significantly to why goalkeeper Dang Van Lam's record of 9 clean sheets is not highly appreciated.
Mbappe helps Real Madrid catch up with Barca
Today, March 10, Mbappe and Vinicius shone to help Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 and level the score gap with Barca in La Liga.
Although the match did not speed up too much, Real still opened the scoring in the 30th minute. Vinicius made a sharp pass, helping Mbappe run up and score to help the home team take the lead.
Just 4 minutes later, Vinicius showed his talent with an accurate kick, beating goalkeeper Batalla, doubling the gap for the home team.
In the second half, the match took place at a slow pace when the home team Real Madrid chose to play cautiously and Rayo Vallecano did not have enough strength to equalize the score. 2-1 for Real Madrid was the final result.
MU helps Liverpool reach the championship
On the night of March 9, MU drew 1-1 with Arsenal, thereby helping the 2024/25 Premier League championship race gradually come to an end.
The first few minutes of the match were played at a rather slow pace. The home team MU played with all their players at home.
Despite deploying a large defense, MU still left many gaps in front of the penalty area. Martin Odegaard exploited the slowness of the home team's midfield duo to create 2 chances. However, his and Declan Rice's long-range efforts could not cause any problems for the home team's goalkeeper.
In the final minutes of the match, MU put a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense. In the 85th minute, Hojlund had a golden opportunity to end his 19-game goalless streak, but he was slow to react and let Declan Rice roll to clear the ball.
MU performed well at home and only lacked a bit of luck to win 3 points. This result helped Liverpool. The Merseyside team is still 15 points ahead of Arsenal and has only played one more game. The 2024/25 Premier League title is very close for Arne Slot and his team.
