Vietnam U18 women's team won the runner-up position in the Southeast Asian tournament

On the evening of August 4, the Vietnam U18 women's team only won the runner-up position at the 2022 Southeast Asian U18 Women's Championship when they lost to Australia U18 women's team 0-2 in the final.

Vietnam U18 women's team started the match cautiously, calmly holding the ball and handling it to escape the opponent's pressure and struggle. However, the players of Vietnam U18 women's team were at a disadvantage in the pressing and fighting phases. Australia U18 women's team then started to coordinate more and gradually put pressure on the field of Vietnam U18 women's team.

After many dangerous opportunities, in the 40th minute, the Australian U18 women's team scored the opening goal. From a pass from the right wing, Sienna Saveska appeared right in front of the goal line and tapped the ball close to the goal, defeating the Vietnamese U18 women's goalkeeper, helping the Australian U18 women's team take a 1-0 lead.

Entering the second half, the Vietnamese U18 women's players played confidently, proactively attacking the Australian U18 women's field. However, not only were they unable to score, the Vietnamese U18 women's team also conceded another goal in the 52nd minute. After Bertolissio's accurate cross, striker Mary Stanic-Floody scored with a close-range tap-in to raise the score to 2-0.

After the second goal, the Vietnam U18 women's team could no longer maintain the same position as in the first half, so coach Akira Ijiri's players were forced to retreat deep to defend when the opponent pressed the field. However, the Australian U18 women's team could not score another goal.

In the end, the Australian U18 women's team won 2-0, and the Vietnamese U18 women's team won the runner-up position. With this victory, the Australian U18 women's team became the champion of the 2022 Southeast Asian U18 Women's Football Championship.

Martial injured, Ronaldo has a good chance to start the opening match

Due to health problems, striker Anthony Martial is likely to miss Man United's opening match of the 2022/23 Premier League season. That is the match when MU welcomes Brighton at Old Trafford on August 7.

Martial played quite effectively in the friendly series before the new season when he contributed 3 goals for MU. What he has just shown is really commendable after a disappointing season.

Indeed, in the 2021/22 season, the player only scored 1 goal in 11 matches for MU. Transferred to Sevilla on loan, Martial also only "scored" exactly 1 time after 12 matches, meaning he did not "change his luck" despite trying to try his hand elsewhere.

Martial's problem is that he is having health problems after being injured in MU's 0-1 loss to Atletico a few days ago. According to the Athletic, it is likely that the former Monaco striker will not recover in time to play in MU's match against Brighton.

Martial is injured.

Previously, it was reported that new coach Erik Ten Hag planned to use the attacking trio of Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho in the first round of the 2022/23 Premier League, while leaving star striker Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. With the current situation, he may have to adjust the plan and CR7 is a suitable alternative.

It's just that Ronaldo hasn't had the best preparation for the new season because he only played 45 minutes for MU all summer (the Red Devils drew 1-1 with Vallecano). It should also be said that Ronaldo is clearly not in a comfortable mental state because he has expressed his desire to leave but MU's Board of Directors has not approved.

Cong Phuong is ready to return after a month of injury

The striker from Nghe An is in good shape and ready to play in the match between Saigon Club and Hoang Anh Gia Lai, round 11 of V.League 2022.

On the afternoon of August 4, Hoang Anh Gia Lai had a practice session at Thong Nhat Stadium before the match against Saigon Club. This was the second practice session of Coach Kiatisuk Senamuang and his team since arriving in Ho Chi Minh City. Cong Phuong was a notable factor in the practice session. He appeared with a radiant face. Hoang Anh Gia Lai's number 10 has been out of action for a month due to a knee injury sustained in the match against Da Nang Club in round 6.

In the ball exercises, Cong Phuong has good feeling. In difficult situations, he also tries to handle them.

Cong Phuong returned strongly in training.

Not only that,Cong PhuongHe is also very fierce in one-on-one battles. He will most likely return to the starting lineup for Hoang Anh Gia Lai. Before the injury, he was in good form with 3 goals.

Cong Phuong's stretching movement shows that he has fully recovered from his injury. Cong Phuong is healthy and ready to play from the start. He completed the exercises given by Coach Kiatisuk well.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai have many opportunities to extend their winning streak to 5 when facing Saigon Club, the team at the bottom of the table. However, Coach Kiatisuk's team should not be complacent as their opponent has good psychological momentum after the victory over Ha Tinh Club and has just added Coach Le Huynh Duc to the coaching staff, specifically in the role of Technical Director. This match will take place at 7:15 p.m. on August 5 at Thong Nhat Stadium.

Over the years, there were many times when Quy was almost eliminated, but fortunately, his mother always encouraged Quy to stay determined.
