South Korea has three stars at the last minute to play in the U23 Asian finals
Luckily, U23 Korea star Jeong Sang-bin was allowed by Minnesota of the US to play in the U23 Asian tournament.
That is unexpected good news for Coach Hwang Sun-hong, U23 Korea is the most promising candidate for the U23 Asia final round (from April 15 to May 3 in Qatar).
Five stars around the age of the Korean U23 team are playing for hire abroad, but three players were sent by their clubs to participate in the U23 Asian tournament. Because the tournament is not part of the FIFA calendar, the clubs have the right to refuse.
These three players include Jeong Sang-bin (playing for Minnesota, USA) who will fly straight to Doha to join the team, striker Kim Min-woo (Dusseldorf, Germany) and Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City). The two players who cannot join the U23 Korea team because their clubs do not allow them to return are midfielder Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic) and Kim Ji-soo (Brenford).
Among them is the excellent midfielder Jeong Sang-bin, who played 6 times for the Korean U23 team and 1 time for the Korean national team and scored a goal for the Korean team.
At this U23 Asian final round, U23 Korea is the brightest candidate for the championship title.
Thanh Thuy is about to join a Turkish football team.
At the introduction ceremony of the VTV9-Binh Dien 2024 international volleyball tournament, the Organizing Committee announced that the number 1 hitter of Vietnamese women's volleyball, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, will return to serve VTV Binh Dien Long An. Instead of wearing the PFU BlueCats (Japan) jersey, "4T" and VTV Binh Dien Long An will conquer the championship title of which they are the tournament hosts, before taking a bigger step in their career.
Specifically, right after the VTV9-Binh Dien 2024 international volleyball tournament, Thanh Thuy is likely to move to a club in Türkiye - a strong volleyball team in the world. That means Thanh Thuy will step up to a new level in her career, surpassing many of the seniors of Vietnamese volleyball before such as Ngoc Hoa, Kim Hue...
The VTV9-Binh Dien 2024 International Volleyball Tournament takes place in Dak Lak from May 11 to 19, with 8 teams including VTV Binh Dien Long An, LPBank Ninh Binh, Duc Giang Lao Cai Chemicals, BC Thong tin Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc, U20 Vietnam and 3 foreign teams: Sichuan (China), PFU BlueCats (Japan) and U20 Thailand.
Injured due to collision with Indonesian player, will Minh Trong miss the rest of the season?
Responding to VTC News, defender Vo Minh Trong said he suffered a shoulder injury after a collision with an Indonesian defender in the match on March 26. At that time, this injury caused Minh Trong many difficulties, showing signs of losing consciousness on the field.
Minh Trong is still waiting for the final decision from the medical department of Binh Duong club to know whether he needs surgery or not. If he goes under the knife to completely treat the injury, Minh Trong will be out of action for the rest of the 2023/2024 season. On the contrary, if the injury is not serious, he can return to the field and continue playing in the remaining part of the V.League.
Minh Trong's absence seriously affected coach Hoang Anh Tuan's personnel plan for the Vietnam U23 team. Just a few days later, the next left-back of Vietnam U23, Phan Tuan Tai, also missed the 2024 AFC U23 Championship finals due to a knee injury.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan has 3 other options on the left flank including defender Ha Van Phuong, midfielder Hoang Van Toan and center back Nguyen Duc Anh.
In the international friendly match with U23 Jordan in the early morning of April 11, coach Hoang Anh Tuan placed Hoang Van Toan in the starting lineup. This could be the option that this coach chooses when entering the official matches.
Quan Van Chuan completed his sentence and was allowed to play in the opening match of the U23 Asian Cup finals.
According to information from the Vietnam Football Federation, Quan Van Chuan is eligible to play in the opening match of the 2024 AFC U23 Championship finals.
Previously, there was information that Quan Van Chuan was about to be suspended for the first two matches in the group stage of the upcoming tournament because he received a red card at the 2022 AFC U23 Championship finals. At that time, the Hanoi FC goalkeeper was sent off the field in the quarter-final match against Saudi Arabia U23.
However, Quan Van Chuan's punishment was included in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers that took place last September. That was the tournament that Van Chuan did not participate in. His 2-match suspension was the reason why coach Troussier did not include him in the qualifying list.
In the 2024 U23 Asian finals, coach Hoang Anh Tuan preliminarily registered 4 goalkeepers: Quan Van Chuan, Nguyen Van Viet, Tran Trung Kien and Doan Huy Hoang.
The No. 1 position in the U23 Vietnam goal is likely to be a competition between Nguyen Van Viet and Quan Van Chuan.
On April 17, U23 Vietnam will play its opening match against U23 Kuwait. After that, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will face U23 Malaysia (April 20) and U23 Uzbekistan (April 23)./.
