PVF-CAND Club wins play-off spot

On the afternoon of June 29, the final round of the First Division (V.Legue-2) took place. In this round, PVF-CAND Club played at home. Facing a Dong Nai team that no longer had the motivation to compete, the home team quickly took control of the game. Coach Mauro Jeronimo's team scored 2 goals early to take the lead in less than 16 minutes. The scorers were Thanh Nhan and Le Van Do.

With the advantage of leading, PVF-CAND proactively slowed down the match and gradually withdrew key players to rest. However, the home team still showed superiority over the visitors. PVF-CAND scored 2 more goals by Xuan Bac (minute 86) and Thanh Nhan (minute 90+2). In the end, PVF-CAND won with a score of 4-0 and became the first team to participate in the relegation play-off match next season.

PVF-CAND's opponent in the play-off match will be determined after the final round of the V-League on June 30.

In the play-off match, V.League teams will not be allowed to use foreign players. That is also the advantage of PVF-CAND when playing with a stable squad. This will help coach Jeronimo not need to adjust personnel too much. The play-off match will take place on July 6 at Hang Day Stadium. VAR will also be used in this match.

VPF warns V-League teams before final match

The 2023/24 V-League season will end this weekend with a series of matches in round 26. Similar to round 25, the matches in the final round will all take place at the same time, which is 5:00 p.m. on June 30.

In contrast to the leading group that has already determined the champion, round 26 of the V-League is still very "hot" with the relegation race between 3 teams: Song Lam Nghe An, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

All three are trying to avoid having to play a relegation play-off with the First Division runners-up.

In the final round, the 3 teams above will meet opponents who have all run out of goals, are certain to stay in the league and cannot compete for medal positions, so there are many unpredictable developments.

Faced with concerns about "loving and caring" football, VPF leaders spoke up to remind the teams: "VPF has warned and reminded the teams. Not only the final round but also the rounds in the finishing stage, the organizing committee has sent notices to remind the teams.

In the final matches, the organizers require clubs to compete honestly and avoid giving away points," the leader of VPF Company told VTC News channel.

At this time, on the rankings, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is ranked 11th with 29 points, Hoang Anh is ranked 12th with the same number of points (less in goal difference). Song Lam Nghe An is ranked second to last with 27 points.

The advantage belongs to Hong Linh Ha Tinh and the team from the Mountain City as they have the right to decide. Song Lam Nghe An can only escape if they win and one of the two opponents above them does not win.

PSG ready to break transfer record for prodigy Lamine Yamal

According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG has expressed interest in recruiting the 16-year-old winger in the summer transfer window of 2024. The Paris team believes that only Yamal has the potential to replace Kylian Mbappe.

Realizing early on that this was a difficult deal, PSG was ready to break Neymar's transfer record from 7 years ago. The French giants are expected to offer 250 million Euros for Yamal. This is an unbelievable number for a player who is only 16 years old and enough for Barca to consider.

In the context of not yet escaping the financial crisis, 250 million Euros will help Barca do a lot of things. Yamal is a player trained by Barca so the transfer fee will be calculated 100% of the profit.

So, if they sell this gem, Blaugrana will no longer have to worry about balancing the wage bill and registering players before each new season.

Yamal is currently playing at EURO 2024 with the Spanish national team. Although only 16 years old, he plays very maturely and has played all 3 group stage matches. Yamal and his teammates have a great chance of reaching the quarterfinals because their opponent in the round of 16 is only rookie Georgia.
