How is the Vietnamese-American star who played in the Champions League youth tournament doing now?; Haaland 'beats' Messi and Mbappe at FIFA The Best 2023
(Baonghean.vn) - Gia Huy Phong once unexpectedly appeared in the U19 Wolfsburg shirt to compete in the UEFA Youth League; British press commented that striker Erling Haaland will have no rivals in the FIFA The Best 2023 race. Those are the outstanding sports news in the past 24 hours.
How is the Vietnamese-American star who played in the Champions League youth tournament doing now?
Gia Huy Phong was a name that consumed a lot of ink in the Vietnamese press in 2021 when he unexpectedly appeared in the U19 Wolfsburg shirt to compete in the UEFA Youth League (a tournament considered the Champions League for Europe's top youth teams).
Gia Huy Phong is probably the first Vietnamese-origin player to play in the UEFA Youth League (a tournament that can be considered the UEFA Champions League for top youth clubs in Europe). At that time, Gia Huy Phong was only 17 years old, but his performance for U19 Wolfsburg was extremely promising.
Starting from the 2022/23 season, Gia Huy Phong will join Viktoria Berlin in the German 4th division. This season, Gia Huy Phong has made 12 appearances for Viktoria Berlin, including 8 starts and 4 substitute appearances. Gia Huy Phong also scored his first goal for the team in the match against Hertha BSC II in mid-November.
Khanh Hoa Club & Coach Vo Dinh Tan: No one can be faithful forever
Without coach Vo Dinh Tan, Khanh Hoa will find someone else. Then, Mr. Tan may be forgotten if the new person is more successful than what he has had. Or maybe, people will call Vo Dinh Tan's name when Khanh Hoa is struggling in the storm. For more than 10 years, coach Vo Dinh Tan has devoted all his heart and soul to Khanh Hoa football. Although there are lingering feelings, sometimes parting is also good for both sides!
Haaland 'beats' Messi and Mbappe at FIFA The Best 2023
British press commented that striker Erling Haaland will have no rivals in the FIFA The Best 2023 race, despite having to compete with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. This is because FIFA The Best 2023 evaluates the candidate's achievements from December 19, 2022 to August 20, 2023, which is the time when the 2022 World Cup has ended. Thus, with the "treble" of winning Man City, Haaland is clearly superior to Messi and Mbappe, so FIFA The Best 2023 will hardly escape the hands of the Norwegian star.
MU contributes another good match to the Champions League group stage
MU has just been named. This season, they had a match that was "honored" to be ranked by BBC news agency in the list of Top 10 best matches in the history of the Champions League group stage.
That match took place in the 5th round of the group stage. If they beat the home team Galatasaray, MU would have a wide open door to the knockout round. Coach Erik ten Hag's team had a dream start when they took a 2-goal lead after only 18 minutes. But 2 unforgivable mistakes by goalkeeper Andre Onana in the second half allowed Galatasaray to close the match with a 3-3 result, including a situation where a Cameroon player directly pushed the ball into his own goal. That was the turning point, causing MU to lose 0-1 to Bayern Munich in the final match and be eliminated in the group stage as the bottom team.
