Vietnam strengthens overseas Vietnamese players; Italian coach shares hidden meaning after being fired by Thanh Hoa

Vietnam national team will be strengthened with overseas Vietnamese players

VFF is planning to increase overseas Vietnamese players to refresh the Vietnam National Team in the remaining matches of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

VFF is calculating to find abundant and quality human resources to serve its great ambitions.

“We have heard about Malaysia naturalizing players. That will certainly make the upcoming match in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers very difficult. In the coming time, VFF will continue to calculate to add Vietnamese players to the Vietnam team,” VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh shared at a press conference on the afternoon of June 15.

The Italian coach opened his heart for the first time after being fired by the entire Thanh Hoa team.

Coach Fabio Lopez shared a meaningful message after being fired by Thanh Hoa at the beginning of the 2020 season.

The Italian coach was fired by Thanh Hoa after poor performance since the beginning of the season.

“I will never coach a team with someone else’s ideas and I will not let anyone interfere in my work. My failure is my own fault and not because of anyone else,” Coach Lopez wrote.

Previously, the Italian strategist also shared: "Everyone wants to win but not many people do the right thing to win."

Will Man United or Real be Van de Beek's destination?

Both Real Madrid and Man United would benefit from a midfielder of Van de Beek's calibre, so a 'red carpet' battle for him is now understandable.

The statistics speak to De Beek's multitasking talent.

A deal to take Van de Beek to the Bernabeu has not been confirmed, and while Man United remain a good option. “If Real Madrid don’t want Van de Beek I can see him going to Man United,” assistant coach Ronald de Boer said of the midfielder’s future.

What to expect from Man City when the Premier League returns?

In just two days, the Premier League will officially restart after a long pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Man City has won the League Cup and almost surrendered in the Premier League. But they still have many goals to fight for.

Man City won 2-1 at Real in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

With what they have shown since the beginning of the season, Man City is capable of winning 2nd place in the Premier League, winning the FA Cup and reaching the Champions League final. The goal in the Champions League is the most difficult when Man City has never passed the semi-finals.
