Vietnam Team: Worry from... pride; Ronaldo wins Serie A's most prestigious individual award
(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Park Hang-seo's pride is now becoming a real worry and burden for the Korean strategist; "Wet feet" in Italy, Ronaldo has won the most prestigious individual title in Serie A... are notable news today.
Vietnam team and coach Park: Worry from... pride!
The Vietnamese team with a solid defense has contributed greatly to the success that Park Hang-seo and his team have created over the past time.
What Mr. Park is most satisfied with is still building a new, but solid defense system for Vietnamese football with players who are not thought to be as good as many people previously thought. The case of Que Ngoc Hai is the clearest example of this.
Mr. Park's pride is not just words but has specific numbers such as in the AFF Cup 2018, the entire tournament, the Vietnamese team only conceded 3 goals in the knockout matches, and before that, they kept a clean sheet in the group stage.
However, that pride of coach Park Hang-seo is now becoming a worry, or a real burden for the Korean strategist when the factors to build a steel wall in front of Dang Van Lam are really unstable.
In the latest match at V-League, Vietnam team captain Que Ngoc Hai almost disappeared from the field in his team Viettel's loss to Saigon FC.

Looking at the current situation, typically Que Ngoc Hai really has to worry about coach Park Hang-seo. |
Not only worried about the captain of the Vietnamese team, his partner Bui Tien Dung is also overloaded and injured, unable to participate in the team's latest match in Ho Chi Minh City.
Even the right wing of the Vietnamese team, which is another source of pride with three key names including Trong Hoang, Xuan Manh, and Van Thanh, has not yet satisfied Mr. Park, although in terms of wing-running skills, it is difficult for anyone to surpass the above players.
With a defense whose key players are all having problems like that, who dares say coach Park Hang-seo is not worried?
"Wet feet" in Italy, Ronaldo won the most prestigious individual title in Serie A
After just his first season playing for Juventus, the Portuguese superstar won the Serie A player of the season award last season.
With a transfer value of up to 100 million euros to move to Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest blockbuster contract in Serie A history. It is not difficult to understand why the Portuguese superstar is one of the most anticipated names in this top Italian league.
And Ronaldo did not disappoint the expectations of football lovers in the land of boots. After just one season playing for the Old Lady of Turin, the star born in 1985 has shown how great his influence is.

Ronaldo played excellently in his first season at Juventus. |
Ronaldo contributed 22 goals and 11 assists after 33 appearances (including 1 goal he scored in the Super Cup match against AC Milan in early January). Becoming the most important player in Juventus' squad last season.
For that reason, it is no surprise that he became the name honored in the category of best player of Serie A season 2018/2019 after only one season in the Italian football environment.

Cong Phuong practices enthusiastically, hoping to achieve positive results with Incheon under the new coach. |
Incheon are desperate for a turnaround after nine K-League games without a win, and seven without a goal. Including the FA Cup fourth round defeat, the number is 10, with eight games ending in defeat.
But Daegu was not easy, and that was the opponent that Cong Phuong must remember more deeply than anyone. That was because in the first leg on April 3, Incheon hosted Daegu, which was also the first time Cong Phuong started in the K-League (round 5) and the result was not happy: the team at that time led by coach Andersen lost 0-3.
With Cong Phuong, Vietnamese audiences hope CP23 will be in the starting lineup again after playing the full 90 minutes in the match last weekend. And everyone hopes that the Vietnamese striker will have more strength on the field, run hard and make a difference...

Kelly is the target of many top Premier League teams. |
Liverpool had been closely pursuing Kelly because this player is quite versatile, he can play left-back and center-back. The current Premier League runner-up planned to bring him to Anfield to learn under Andy Robertson, but the price was too high due to fierce competition, causing the "Red Brigade" to give up.
Kelly made his Bristol debut in December 2017 and made his England U21 debut in November 2018. He has made 32 appearances in the Championship this season. In total, Kelly has made 48 appearances for Bristol in all competitions, scoring twice.
