AFF supports hosting the 2034 World Cup

ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) President Khiev Sameth said: “AFF welcomes the commitment of leaders of countries in the Southeast Asian region to support the implementation of a joint bid to host the 2034 World Cup.

President of the Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) - Khiev Sameth.

It has always been our view and goal that ASEAN has the capacity to host a successful World Cup. An ASEAN-hosted World Cup will generate economic and sporting benefits for the region, while also strengthening unity among its 640 million people.”

Previously on June 23, Mr. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand and rotating ASEAN Chair, proposed an idea to regional leaders at the 34th ASEAN Summit in Bangkok about the race to host the 2034 World Cup.

Dinh Trong's surgery was successful in Singapore.

Currently, the Hanoi FC midfielder has been taken to the recovery room to rest. Dinh Trong has also regained consciousness. After a successful surgery, Dinh Trong is being cared for by doctor Vu Thanh Luan of Hanoi FC and his younger brother Tran Binh.

Dinh Trong had successful surgery in Singapore.

It is known that tomorrow, 1 day after the surgery, Dinh Trong will immediately be asked to walk and take the first steps in physical therapy. This central defender will continue to stay in Singapore until June 30 to re-examine the injury, before returning to Vietnam to practice rehabilitation at PVF with doctor Choi Joo Young.

Having to undergo ligament surgery, Dinh Trong will need at least 6-9 months to return to the field. That also means that this central defender will not be able to join his teammates to attend the 2019 SEA Games and the opening matches of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers with the Vietnam National Team.

Neymar "agrees" to sign 5-year contract with Barca, salary reduced by 50%

Spanish media reported that Neymar has "agreed" to return to Barcelona under a 5-year contract and agreed to reduce the huge salary he is receiving at PSG.

According to Sports (Spain), Neymar accepted the offer immediately after being persuaded by President Josep Maria Bartomeu. The Brazilian player personally wants to leave PSG because he is no longer happy.

Neymar closer to returning to Barca?

The good news for Neymar is that the majority of the Catalan team's players support Neymar. The reason comes from the fact that Neymar has built a close relationship with Barca players, especially the duo Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

The first issue that Barca is said to have resolved is reaching a personal agreement with Neymar. Neymar will sign a 5-year contract with the Catalan club with a salary reduction of 50% compared to what he is receiving at PSG (36 million euros/year).

Barca's remaining task is to convince PSG to release the player at the most reasonable fee. In the summer of 2017, PSG spent 222 million euros to own Neymar.

European coach specifically names Quang Hai as someone who can go abroad

Serbian coach Risto Vidakovic praised Hanoi FC for having a team of good players. Among them, Quang Hai can play football in Europe.

Speaking after Ceres Negros’ regretful 1-2 loss to Hanoi FC, Ceres coach Risto Vidakovic shared: “Congratulations to Hanoi FC for their victory. They absolutely deserve to go to the regional final. Their level is much better than ours. After this match, I will learn many things from Hanoi FC.”

Although he did not score or assist, Quang Hai was highly appreciated by a coach from Europe like Vidakovic.

When the reporter mentioned his comments about Van Quyet and Van Hau, Coach Vidakovic said: “If you ask me about any individual player in the Hanoi FC squad, I have to confirm that this is a team with many good players. Therefore, it is difficult to comment on each individual face. But I really remember the player wearing the number 19 shirt (Quang Hai - PV) the most.

Over the past 2 years, Quang Hai has really caught the eye of many football teams around the world. His brilliant performance in the club and national team is the reason why many coaches highly appreciate him. However, Hanoi FC still wants this player to play for the club, at least until the end of this season.

VFF in turmoil before negotiation day with Coach Park, tense over money

Coach Park Hang-seo was about to enter into negotiations to extend his contract with VFF when suddenly the Vice President in charge of finance, Can Van Nghia, submitted his resignation.

However, not long after his deputy resigned, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and VFF President Le Khanh Hai spoke up to affirm that "it will not affect the operations of the highest management organization of Vietnamese football."

Basically, from now until the end of the current contract between VFF and coach Park Hang-seo, the salary of the Korean strategist will be directly paid by Mr. Duc.

VFF can no longer rely on Mr. Duc's kindness.

But what happens after that is really difficult to answer, especially when Mr. Park's salary will almost certainly increase and cannot decrease compared to what Mr. Duc has had to pay over the past period.

This means that everything will accumulate greatly, so the financial burden for VFF if they want to renew the contract with Mr. Park will be even heavier in the context that the highest management organization of Vietnamese football is not very good at making money.

Before Mr. Can Van Nghia resigned, Mr. Duc declared that he would immediately have someone replace him and bring back a couple hundred billion to Vietnamese football to serve the big goals ahead.

If they cannot find a qualified and dedicated person to sit in the hot seat, what will VFF do when the contract negotiation day with coach Park Hang Seo is approaching?
