The attraction ofVietnam teamhas pushed up the price of television advertising for these 3 matches very high. Specifically, the above 3 matches, according to the announcement of the copyright owner Next Media, are expected to be broadcast live on channels VTV5 and VTV6. The starting price that TVAd (TV Advertising and Service Center - VTV) offers for the 3 matches of the 2nd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup of Vietnam National Team is 240 million VND/10-second TVC and can be up to 600 million VND/30-second TVC, depending on the broadcast frame.
In fact, this is not the first time that advertising prices for Vietnam National Team matches have caused a stir, because we have previously witnessed similar prices, even much higher, at the 2018 AFF Cup or the 2019 SEA Games.
Coach Park went to see the "legs" of the opponents in Group G
According to the original plan, the Vietnamese team would practice at 8pm on June 3 (UAE time). However, the plan has been changed, the players will practice at 7am.
The main reason is for Coach Park and his colleagues to have time to watch the upcoming opponents of the Vietnamese team. Tonight, there will be two matches between Thailand - Indonesia and the host UAE - Malaysia in Group G.World Cup 2022 QualifiersAsia region
Indonesia will be the first opponent of the Vietnamese team, while the remaining three opponents are all capable of threatening Vietnam's top spot. Therefore, it is necessary for Coach Park and his colleagues to change their training plan to "scout" the opponents.

The squad and playing style of the opponents in Group G have changed a lot compared to the time of suspension due to Covid-19 in November 2019.
Indonesia appointed Korean coach Shin Tae-young and called up a number of players playing abroad. Meanwhile, Malaysia implemented a massive naturalization policy to add new players such as Guilherme de Paula, Samuel Somerville, Liridon Krasniqi, and Dominic Tan.
This afternoon, the Vietnamese team will also move to a new hotel arranged by the Organizing Committee. Previously, Quang Hai and his teammates rented a hotel on May 26 because they arrived in the UAE earlier than the Organizing Committee's gathering schedule.
Vietnam currently tops the group with 11 points, and will face Indonesia on June 7, Malaysia on June 11, and the host team on June 15. According to calculations, the team needs to win 7 points in the remaining 3 matches to secure a ticket to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.
Vietnam team's opponent makes shocking move before match day
The Indonesian Football Federation homepage announced that coach Shin Tae-yong has officially removed a player from the national team right before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Accordingly, defender Nurhidayat Haji Haris had to leave the team's training ground due to disciplinary violations. It was even more surprising when Haris was eliminated for "laziness in eating".
The secretary general of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) said: "We have been informed by coach Shin Tae-yong about the above incident. Nurhidayat was disciplined and he was not satisfied with the attitude of this player. Nurhidayat returned to Indonesia on June 1. We will definitely support every decision of coach Shin Tae-yong. Any player who violates the discipline will not have a place in the Indonesian team. Therefore, all players must continue to show a good attitude and practice hard."

According to the media of the "thousand islands" country, Nurhidayat is the player that the Korean coach is aiming for a starting position because in the two friendly matches against Afghanistan and Oman, this player was highly appreciated.
Indonesia is the first opponent of the Vietnamese team in the remaining official matches in Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The two teams will have a rematch on June 7. Before facing Vietnam, Mr. Shin and his team will meet Thailand on June 3 and then the match against the UAE on June 11.
Mbappe shines as France sinks Wales
France defeated Wales 3-0 with goals from Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele in a friendly match early morning on June 3 (Hanoi time).
Coach Didier Deschamps has fielded his strongest squad for the first friendly before Euro 2020. N'Golo Kante only joined the squad after the Champions League final, so he was unable to return to the starting lineup. Coach Deschamps replaced him with midfielder Corentin Tolisso.

Karim Benzema started from the start, alongside Kylian Mbappe in attack. Coach Deschamps experimented with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, instead of the familiar 4-2-3-1 system. "Les Blues" did not exert their strength but still easily overwhelmed Wales.
In the 35th minute, Mbappe opened the scoring. In the 47th minute, Antoine Griezmann increased the score to 2-0 for "Les Blues" with an impressive shot. In the 79th minute, Dembele came on as a substitute and sealed a 3-0 victory for the World Cup defending champions.
