Vietnam national team player compensates billions to Viettel's The Cong; Real Madrid defeats Juventus to win ticket to FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals

The undefeated team helps Vietnamese players compensate billions for Viettel's The Cong

According to many sources, midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien had to pay The Cong Viettel Club 3 billion VND to terminate his contract ahead of schedule. However, in reality, the Vietnamese player did not have to pay compensation himself.

Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club transferred 3 billion VND to midfielder Nguyen Duc Chien so that he could terminate his contract with The Cong Viettel. Duc Chien wanted to negotiate with his old team to reduce the amount but failed.

After receiving the full compensation, The Cong Viettel agreed to release the 1998-born midfielder from his contract from July 1st so he could join the new team. Duc Chien was not at a loss because Phu Dong Ninh Binh still paid the midfielder a "bribe" of more than 15 billion VND for 3 seasons after he signed the contract.

Coach Velizar Popov will have to consider many personnel options for the new season. The Cong Viettel is still a team with good youth training resources, producing many quality players qualified to compete in the V.League. Duc Chien's departure is also an opportunity for some other young talents to demonstrate their abilities.

Who will apologize to Cristiano Ronaldo?

Ridiculed when he left Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo can now smile with satisfaction as what he predicted is gradually coming true.

Cristiano was once considered a fugitive, someone who only cared about money. But the truth is, as always in his career, he was one step ahead of the rest.

The Portuguese superstar doesn’t wait for recognition. He creates recognition. And when Benzema, Neymar or Brozovic arrive, when the stadiums in Riyadh and Jeddah are packed, when the matches in Saudi Arabia are broadcast globally, then everyone realises: Ronaldo saw it all before.

The question now is no longer “Is Ronaldo right or wrong”, but “Who will apologize to him?”.

Because those who once mocked Ronaldo are now forced to admit that Saudi Arabia not only knows how to attract, but also knows how to win. Not only buys stars, but also knows how to create identity. Not just a "late afternoon" tournament, but a place that is building the future.

And now, it's time for the mockers to speak up. Who was the first person to apologize to Cristiano Ronaldo?

Real Madrid beat Juventus to win ticket to FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals

The match in the 1/8 round of the FIFA Club World Cup between Real Madrid vs Juventus ended with a minimal victory for Los Blancos with the only goal scored by young striker Gonzalo Garcia.

If goalkeeper Di Gregorio had not played so well, Juventus would have conceded at least two more goals, especially the flying save to block Valverde's bicycle kick in the 61st minute, or the save to block Arda Guler's shot right outside the penalty area in the 72nd minute.

In the end, Real Madrid won by a narrow margin to advance to the quarter-finals. Their opponent will be the winner of the Dortmund vs Monterrey match.
