Magnificent opening ceremony of Asiad 19

On the evening of September 23, the opening ceremony of the 19th ASIAD took place in a grand and modern manner, opening more than 2 weeks of competition for the 19th Asian Games.

As announced, the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games took place with an "Olympic-level" performance. The host country sent the world an artistic performance imbued with Chinese identity. Light and technology performances were also included. However, the organizers did not overdo it to help everything become harmonious.

The opening ceremony was quite concise, lasting only 2 hours. Most of the performances focused on topics that were not too rambling, gentle and delicate. The most anticipated moment of the opening ceremony, the torch lighting, was also impressively performed with the support of technology.

The 19th Asian Games were scheduled to be held in 2022. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 19th Asian Games were postponed to this year. The largest sports event in Asia will take place from September 23 to October 8 in the cities of Hangzhou, Deqing, Jinhua, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Huzhou and Wenzhou (China).

ASIAD 19 has the participation of 45 sports delegations, with more than 12,000 athletes, competing in 40 sports, competing for 481 sets of medals.

Vietnam women's team looks forward to the match against Bangladesh

On the afternoon of September 23, the Vietnamese women's team went to the training ground in Wenzhou (China) to prepare for the next match at the 19th Asiad against Bangladesh on September 25.

Assessing Nepal as a tough opponent, Bich Thuy said: "Previously, we won two matches 5-1 and 2-0 on Nepal's field last April. But since then, the Nepalese women's team has made investments and progressed in tactics. Therefore, I think Nepal, Bangladesh and Japan are all strong opponents."

At the beginning of the afternoon practice session on September 23, Coach Mai Duc Chung spent time reminding and instructing his players about the shortcomings in the first match.

The coaching staff then divided the team into two groups. The players played the entire 90 minutes of the Nepal match and did recovery exercises. The other group continued to practice tactical exercises. However, due to the rain, the practice session only lasted for 1 hour.

Young Vietnamese players get to go to La Liga for trial

On September 23, news that a young player was invited to La Liga club Cadiz for a trial made Vietnamese football fans excited.

It is known that the young player invited to La Liga is young midfielder Hoang Vinh Nguyen (Ho Chi Minh City Club, born in 2002).

Previously, information about Cadiz inviting young players from the Southern team to try out and compete was spread. However, according to sources from the team, Vinh Nguyen only went to La Liga to train and learn European football experience when the transfer period was closed.

Vinh Nguyen started his football career from the 4th HAGL gifted class and caught the eye of coach Graechen. From there, coach Graechen proposed to Mr. Duc for the player born in 2001 to join the 4th class of HAGL JMG academy.

In 2021, Vinh Nguyen played prominently for U21 NutiFood at the 2021 National U21 Tournament. After that, the player born in 2002 played in the 2022 National First Division with Long An Club on loan and had 21 matches, including 20 starting matches.

Ahead of V-League 2023, Vinh Nguyen is one of 17 young players that Ho Chi Minh City FC head coach Vu Tien Thanh received from the JMG youth team. During Ho Chi Minh City FC's difficult season, Vinh Nguyen played 11 matches, helping the "red battleship" stay in the league.

This year, Vinh Nguyen was also called up by coach Troussier during the times the Vietnam U23 team gathered to prepare for tournaments.

Kane sets unprecedented record in Bayern history

Striker Harry Kane has set an "unprecedented" record in Bayern history after scoring a hat-trick against Bochum in round 5 of the Bundesliga.

Kane scored in the 12th, 54th and 88th minutes, helping Bayern thrash Bochum 7-0 at the Allianz Arena. According to statistics, the former Tottenham star became the first player in Bayern history to score more than 6 goals in the first 5 matches in the Bundesliga.

After 5 matches in the 2023/24 Bundesliga, Kane has scored 7 goals. In addition to the hat-trick against Bochum, Kane also scored a double against Augsburg, 1 goal against Bremen and 1 goal against Leverkusen. Watching the 30-year-old striker play, it feels like the Bundesliga is too easy for him.

In addition to the hat-trick against Bochum, Kane also had 2 more assists for his teammates. In total, Kane has scored 7 goals and had 3 assists after 5 matches for Bayern in the Bundesliga - an excellent number for a rookie who has just arrived at the club.

Barca makes comeback in 8 minutes, temporarily takes top spot in La Liga

Playing at home against Celta Vigo, a team in the bottom half of the table, Barca were confident of taking all 3 points. However, they were doused with cold water by their opponents from the 19th minute.

From a corner kick, a Barca player cleared the ball out of the box but the opponent took it back. Celta moved the ball down the right when Cancelo was left wide. Then Jorgen Strand Larsen had enough space to defeat Ter Stegen to open the scoring for the visitors. Things became even more difficult for Barca when midfielder Frenkie De Jong left the field in the first half due to injury.

Not only could Barca not equalize, they also lost more. In the 76th minute, after Balde lost the ball, Celta had a lightning counterattack and Douvikas was the one who doubled the gap for the away team.

It seemed like Barca would collapse after this goal, but this was the beginning of their crazy moments. In the 81st minute, Lewandowski reduced the gap to 1-2 for the home team with a skillful lob after a classy assist from Joao Felix. 4 minutes later, it was the Polish striker who continued to make Barca fans explode with an accurate shot from Joao Cancelo's pass to equalize 2-2.

But the rain of goals did not stop there. In the 89th minute, Cancelo had a close-range shot to raise the score to 3-2 and complete Barca's spectacular comeback.

The 3-2 victory also helped Xavi Hernandez's team temporarily take the top spot in La Liga (16 points/6 matches), equal to second-place Girona but with a better goal difference. Meanwhile, Real Madrid temporarily ranked 3rd with 15 points but played 1 match less.
