U23 Vietnam faces "big" challenge in second training session in Indonesia
Vietnam U23 entered the second training session in Jakarta (Indonesia) on the evening of July 15 to prepare for the opening match against Laos U23 in Group B of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament.
The training session took place at Madya Stadium, not far from the U23 Vietnam base, but due to traffic congestion in Jakarta, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team spent nearly 50 minutes traveling by bus to the training ground.
Sharing before the training session, defender Pham Ly Duc said: “The spirit of the team is very good, everyone is determined in every training session. The coaching staff always reminds everyone to take care of their health, to ensure the best physical condition before entering the tournament. Yesterday's training session was mainly to recover and regain physical condition after a long trip. Today, everyone is in better physical condition to enter professional training.”
Malaysia is about to be eliminated without naturalized players.
Malaysian fans must have been extremely disappointed to see their team almost eliminated after just starting the tournament.
The opening match of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament turned into a big disappointment for Malaysian football. A defeat not only in terms of score, but also a wake-up call for the true strength of Malaysian football.
Without any naturalized players in the squad, U23 Malaysia clearly revealed their limitations in terms of expertise and competitive spirit. The huge difference compared to the Malaysian team that defeated Vietnam 4-0 made fans bitterly admit: The domestic players are not capable of shouldering the regional dream.
If they do not create a miracle in the next two matches, Malaysia will soon be eliminated from the tournament right from the group stage. And the defeat against the Philippines is the clearest proof that: without naturalized players, Malaysian football is still not strong enough to dominate the game in Southeast Asia.
Man City signs 'huge' contract unprecedented in history
This is the biggest contract in the history of the king sport, surpassing the deal between Real Madrid and Adidas worth 950 million pounds, and MU with Adidas worth 900 million pounds.
It is known that Man "blue" started cooperating with Puma in 2019 with a total contract value of 650 million pounds.
The new deal will see the Manchester club earn £100m per season for the next 10 years.
The decision to cooperate comes despite Man City still being in the process of fighting a legal battle with the Premier League over their 115 allegations.
City Football Group CEO Ferran Soriano said: "We partnered with Puma with the ambition to challenge ourselves and push the limits."
