Trong Hoang wears Ha Tinh club shirt; Coach Shin Tae-yong commits to stay with Indonesia

Trong Hoang plays for Ha Tinh Club in V-League at the age of 35

Next week, midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang will officially join Ha Tinh Club under a contract until the end of V-League 2023/24, with the possibility of extension depending on performance.

The midfielder, born on April 14, 1989, is associated with Song Lam Nghe An Club. He played 17/18 matches with a total of 1,355 minutes for the Nghe team in V-League 2023. However, this season, Trong Hoang has only played once in V-League and once in the National Cup due to injury.

After a period of recovery from injury, Hoang "cow" is ready to return. Several teams wanted to recruit him, but in the end, he decided to choose Ha Tinh Club - the place where he was born.

This addition is expected to help Ha Tinh Club recover after a poor start to the 2023/24 V-League season, with only 6 points/8 matches, temporarily ranked 12/14.

If nothing changes, Trong Hoang will sign a contract with Ha Tinh Club next week, training to prepare for the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 9 on February 18.

Coach Shin Tae-yong commits to stay with Indonesia for rematch against Vietnam

"I'm still here, not going anywhere until my contract expires. As long as I'm the head coach of Indonesia, I'll still work hard," coach Shin Tae-yong said amid rumors that he might resign to move to a new team.

The 53-year-old coach previously created "waves" when he revealed to the Korean press that a team had rolled out the red carpet to invite him to lead, while he still had 5 months left on his contract (until June 2024) with many tasks in the World Cup qualifiers, U23 Asia... and was bound by a contract with PSSI.

Mr. Shin admitted that he did talk about being invited, but the media did not express it well enough, leading to a misunderstanding.

With the statement "working hard as long as I am the coach of the Indonesian team", Mr. Shin Tae-yong will devote all his efforts to the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, especially the two matches against the Vietnamese team - a direct competitor for the second place in the group, in which Iraq is rated the highest.

Messi makes Hong Kong (China) fans angry

On the afternoon of February 4 in Hong Kong (China), Inter Miami played a friendly match with the Hong Kong Stars Club in the Hong Kong National Championship (China). But what remained was the image of the stadium being filled with boos when the two legends Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez did not play.

In the stands of the Hong Kong Stadium, there were 40,000 spectators watching the match. Initially, they were quite patient when they did not see Messi and Suarez warming up. Perhaps everyone was sure that the two former Barca stars would come on the field at some point, maybe at the end of the match.

But neither were eventually brought in. There were concerns that Messi, who came on as a substitute in Inter Miami's 6-0 defeat to Al Nassr last week, had picked up a hamstring injury.

Whatever the 37-year-old superstar's true condition, he still brought fury to the home fans.

Many fans were angry, chanting slogans like "Give me back my money", "Cheater", "Show us Messi!"... The chants became louder towards the end of the match.
