Immediately after the V-League ends its first leg, expected in mid-June 2019, Van Hau will move to Monchengladbach under a 3-year contract. A reliable source from Hanoi FC revealed that Van Hau will receive a salary of 3,000 euros/week (78 million VND), or about 12,000 euros/month (312 million VND/month). Hanoi is said to receive 1 million euros (26 billion VND) from the sale of Van Hau to the German team.

Van Hau is a rare Vietnamese player who is considered capable of playing in Europe. Van Hau can play excellently in every position on the left wing, plays modern football, is comprehensive in attack and defense, has a skillful left foot, good speed and does not have physical problems like Vietnamese players when he is 1m85 tall. Even in European football, for a full-back position like that is quite tall.

Monchengladbach is currently ranked 5th in the Bundesliga with 47 points, 2 points behind Eintracht Frankfurt who are ranked 4th. In case Monchengladbach wins a ticket to the Champions League, Van Hau can become the first Vietnamese player in history to participate in this prestigious arena.

Van Lam's team is in a headless situation.

“I have announced that I will consider whether I can continue with Muangthong or not after the first 5 matches of the 2019 Thai League season. This is the right time for me to decide to end my role as captain of the team,” Coach Pairoj shared after the 0-2 defeat to Ratchaburi.

Muangthong United suffered their third defeat since the start of the season in their away match against Ratchaburi. The 0-2 loss to their opponents caused the SCG home team to drop to 10th place in the rankings after 5 rounds. And this is considered the "last straw" leading to the decision to part ways with the 52-year-old coach.

With Coach Pairoj submitting his resignation, Muangthong United is forced to urgently search for a new coach to replace the position left by the 52-year-old coach. This is the time when the SCG team needs to quickly stabilize on the coaching bench, in order to continue to nurture hopes towards competing for the championship when the tournament has only taken place for 5 rounds.

Korean newspaper makes surprising assessment of Cong Phuong

Korean media highly appreciated Cong Phuong even though he only came on the field from the bench for about 20 minutes and could not help Incheon avoid a 1-3 defeat against Suwon in round 4 of the K.League this afternoon (March 31).

Evaluating Cong Phuong's performance, Korean media all commented that this player played actively and left a strong impression. Osen reported: "In the 70th minute, Nam Jun-jae replaced Kim Bo-seob, Cong Phuong replaced Hamad. These two substitutions helped Incheon organize a more exciting attacking game. In the 71st minute, Cong Phuong won the ball from a Suwon defender and advanced close to the goal but missed the shot.

Then in the corner kick, Cong Phuong joined in crossing the ball into the penalty area, but Suwon players calmly cleared the ball.

It can be seen that the Korean media paid close attention to Cong Phuong's appearance and ball handling situations. Yonhap News mentioned Cong Phuong's shot: "When he was put on the field, Cong Phuong had a chance to shoot, but unfortunately his shot went over the bar."

Meanwhile, Newsen commented: "Cong Phuong threatened Suwon's goal with a daring long-range shot in the 76th minute."

Kyunghyang page expressed regret: "Kim Jin-ya received a favorable pass from Cong Phuong and shot with his right foot, but the shot was blocked by Suwon goalkeeper."

Zidane... puts Gareth Bale up for sale early

The Welsh midfielder could have left last summer, if Zidane had stayed on. And now it seems Bale's Real Madrid departure is drawing near.

Bale is not Zidane's favorite player, and he is constantly injured. In his latest statement, if Zidane said to Sergio Ramos "Real Madrid is home to him, he is our captain, our leader...", then Bale is clearly just a general courtesy, with absolutely no guarantee.

"Real Madrid will play the remaining games of the season and then we will see. I will not talk about next season. Bale is an important member of the team and we know what he did here, especially in the Champions League final.

No one can deny Bale's contribution. We know he can bring a lot to the team and we will count on him."

Bale is of interest to MU and Chelsea, and according to Metro, with the above words, Zidane has "opened the door" for Premier League representatives to come and take Bale away!
