According to plan, many V.League teams will not have Tet holiday until the end of this week, but due to the Covid-19 outbreak, all clubs have let their players rest earlier than planned.

The early Tet holiday is understandable, because as some coaches have said, when the epidemic is spreading everywhere, letting the players stay and practice during these days is not very effective. |
Because the 4th round of V.League had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 epidemic, many teams started to let their players rest for Tet from the afternoon of January 31. Accordingly, the teams HAGL, Binh Dinh, SHB Da Nang all let their players rest for Tet and are likely to gather again on the 4th day of Tet (February 15).

After 3 matches, HAGL's foreign players still have not really met the requirements as Kiatisak expected. |
HAGL is one of the teams that allowed their players to take an early Tet holiday, after most of the matches in round 3 and round 4 of V.League 2021 could not take place as planned due to the Covid-19 epidemic. However, coach Kiatisak Senamuang and foreign players such as Damir Memovic, Brandao and Kim Dong Su will continue to stay in Vietnam during this time.
The difference between Messi and Ronaldo when both "fail to score"
Despite not scoring in Barcelona's 5-3 win over Granada last night (quarter-finals of the 2020/21 Spanish King's Cup), striker Lionel Messi still made a strong impression. He is even causing a stir on social media when he is compared to Juventus rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

The online community was in an uproar when Messi was compared to his rival Cristiano Ronaldo. |
The Argentine superstar was given the highest score by Sofascored (10). It would not have been worth mentioning if the Twitter account named @KieranCFC88 had not dragged Ronaldo into the matter. Specifically, the above account posted the message: "This is the score that Messi and Ronaldo get when they don't score. The difference is too obvious, isn't it?".
Attached is a photo of Messi and Ronaldo's scores. If Barca's "number 10" was given a perfect score, the number for the main striker of the Old Lady of Turin was only 6.3.
