3/4 of the best awards of April went to Hanoi team. |
The only title that made it into the April “god of the gods” list was the most beautiful goal, which belonged to striker Nguyen Van Toan of HA Gia Lai Club. That was the goal that Van Toan scored in the 23rd minute of the match where HA Gia Lai defeated Than Quang Ninh 3-2.
The goal demonstrated speed, agility and the space that Van Toan had used to accelerate spectacularly from midfield, eliminating three players of Than Quang Ninh and defeating goalkeeper Tuan Linh, opening the score.
"Getting rid" of Sanchez, MU still lost a huge amount of money
In January 2017, MU successfully recruited Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal after fierce competition with Man City. To get the signature of the Chilean star, the Red Devils had to agree to give him a 4 and a half year contract, with a salary of 500 thousand pounds/week.
In addition, Sanchez is also rewarded with 75 thousand pounds for a goal and 25 thousand pounds for an assist. Thereby, the 30-year-old striker becomes the most highly paid player in England. However, the player's contributions on the field are contrary to the value he is receiving.

Man Utd will have to spend a lot of money even if they can push away striker Alexis Sanchez in this summer transfer window. |
Not only are MU fans demanding, but even the board and coach Solskjaer are fed up with Sanchez. According to the Daily Mail, Solsa is trying every way to push the former Gunner out of Old Trafford in this summer transfer window. However, currently no club can meet the Chilean striker's £500,000/week salary.
In the worst case scenario, MU will push Sanchez away on loan. Currently, only Inter Milan has expressed interest in borrowing the Chilean star, but they will only pay a maximum of 250,000 pounds/week. Thus, in case MU reaches an agreement with Inter, they will still have to bear an additional 250,000 pounds/week in wages for the former Gunner.
Meanwhile, Sanchez's contract still has 3 years left. In fact, MU will lose at least 36 million pounds even if they loan Sanchez for the remaining 3 years of the contract. Obviously, this is the worst contract in MU's history.
Mr. Park will give a surprise blow to the Thai people.
The Korean coach's aspiration when he accepted to join Vietnamese football (VN) was to go beyond the "village pond" of Southeast Asia, just like the way he chose two short-term goals of entering the FIFA top 100 and getting a ticket to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Coach Park Hang-seo's thinking is very different from the VFF, which has long chosen the easiest goal of winning the regional championship before choosing the path to continue.

Since agreeing to lead the Vietnamese team to participate in the King's Cup, Mr. Park Hang-seo has always respected his opponent Thailand and has not been too pushy, but certainly does not want to be a latecomer. |
Because of that out-of-the-box thinking, people can see that Mr. Park is serious and focused on the 2018 U-23 Asian Cup finals, the 18th Asiad, and most recently the 2019 Asian Cup.
The continental tournaments that were thought to be just for fun, as VFF did under Mr. Park, have reaped many successes, gradually changing the face of Vietnamese football.
Coach Park Hang-seo, after helping his students beat U-23 Thailand for the second time, simply said that from now on, don't be afraid of the Thais anymore! He has not had the opportunity to face the national team and has never said he will win like he will in the upcoming King's Cup, but the Korean coach's personality has shown that he never gives in in any match.
Before the King's Cup kicked off in early June, host Thailand massively recruited players and declared war loudly, but they only received silence from Mr. Park. This further stimulated the special curiosity of both the Thai people and the media because no one knew what tricks the Korean coach would play in the King's Cup.
Wait and see what surprises he will have for the Thai people in the opening match of the King's Cup.

Zidane opposes Real Madrid signing Neymar |
Neymar is a favourite target of the Spanish Royal team boss, who is said to have maintained regular contact over the past 18 months with plans to bring the former Barca striker back to La Liga.
However, according to AS, head coach Zidane strongly opposed President Perez's intention, asking Real Madrid not to bring Neymar to Bernabeu.
Zidane gave the reason: he was concerned that Neymar's 30 million euro/year salary at PSG would disrupt the Bernabeu dressing room, where the highest paid stars at Real Madrid are currently only half the amount the Brazilian striker is receiving.And more importantly, Zidane is not a fan of Neymar.
