The match between Than Quang Ninh and HL Ha Tinh is at risk of being postponed; AFC Cup 2020 officially canceled due to Covid-19 epidemic

Morata could return to Juventus

Next season,Juventuscould have a very strong attack. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala, they are negotiating with Barca to recruit Luis Suarez.

Not only that, according to the latest press information, Alvaro Morata could also arrive at the Allianz Stadium. Both the Spanish TV channel Cuatro and the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport have confirmed that the striker, who is about to turn 28, is on his way back to Turin. And looking at it now, the possibility of this deal being successful is quite high.

Morata.

Because Morata has fond memories of his two years with Juventus (2014-2016), where he made great strides from a promising young striker to one of the most formidable strikers in Europe. The Juventini also love the Spanish striker, who played brilliantly in the Bianconeri's journey to the Champions League final in the 2014/15 season. Furthermore, Morata's wife Alice Campello is also Italian, and is looking to return home to have children.

But the most important reason is that Morata himself is not satisfied with life at Atletico. Despite being Atletico's top scorer last season with 16 goals in all competitions, he has not received the recognition he deserves. Since La Liga's return, Morata has not even played a full 90 minutes in a match, having to share the attacking position with Diego Costa, Joao Felix and even Marcos Llorente. Therefore, the possibility of Morata leaving is very high. The problem now is whether Juventus can convince Atletico to release the player they spent 60 million euros to buy from Chelsea.

PSG lost on opening day of Ligue 1

PSG entered the opening match of the 2020-2021 French National Championship (Ligue 1) in the context of 7 pillars including the brightest stars such as Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria having Covid-19. Coach Tuchel was forced to use players who were only 18, 19 years old.

In that context,PSGno longer rated too highly compared to Lens, a team that is only average in France. The match was quite balanced, the defending champion team, although holding the ball more, could not have clear attacks because the strikers were all inexperienced players. In the 17th minute, Lens had a very good chance to open the score but Ganago's shot hit the post even though PSG's goalkeeper Bulka was helpless. The first half ended with a score of 0-0.

The second half witnessed a similar situation, PSG completely dominated the ball possession but had almost no dangerous opportunities. In that situation, the deadlock of the match came in an unexpected moment.

Goalkeeper Bulka, in a not-so-dangerous situation, made a serious mistake when he passed the ball straight to Lens player Ganego's feet, creating an opportunity for him to easily score in the 56th minute.

In the remaining minutes, PSG tried to attack and coach Tuchel also made some changes but all were ineffective due to the inexperience of the players playing on the attack line.

This defeat caused PSG to have a bad start in Ligue 1 2020-2021. Perhaps coach Tuchel will need the return of key players after Covid-19 to achieve better results in the upcoming rounds.
