Round 23 V-League: Nam Dinh "stumbles", Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC compete for championship

Nam Dinh's 1-1 draw at Thong Nhat Stadium "rekindled" the championship hopes of Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC, who took advantage of the opportunity with victories over Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hanoi Police.

Despite being rated higher than the home team Ho Chi Minh City Club, in a day of unlucky performance from the strikers on the attack line, the top team Nam Dinh Steel Blue had to accept a 1-1 draw in round 23 of V-League 2023-2024.

The second consecutive draw caused the Southern team to be narrowed by the chasing teams MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC in terms of points on the rankings to 4 and 5 points respectively, in the context of only 3 rounds left in the tournament.

In the late match, Hanoi FC won 2-1 against their city rivals Cong An Ha Noi, thanks to goals from Van Quyet and Do Hung Dung. Meanwhile, despite playing away against the relegation-thirsty team LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai, MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh still won all 3 points thanks to the only goal from foreign player Alan Sebastiao in the 90+5 minute.

Following Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC in the top 4 is Hai Phong - the team that took advantage of The Cong-Viettel's "misstep" in this round (a 1-1 draw with Hong Linh Ha Tinh) to win 3-1 against Becamex Binh Duong.

In the remaining two matches, the away teams both enjoyed victories, respectively Dong A Thanh Hoa's 1-0 victory over Song Lam Nghe An and Quang Nam's 5-0 "destruction" over the relegated team Khanh Hoa.

The two Gold Medals in the women's singles belong to Nguyen Thi Huong (U23, C1 500m) and Nguyen Thi Hai Anh (U18, C1 500m).

This achievement shows the careful preparation of the force and the systematic and scientific training and competition plan of the Vietnam Canoeing Team.

The Asian Canoe Championships for Youth and U23 took place from June 10-16 in Thailand, with the participation of 18 countries. This achievement of the Vietnam Canoe Team once again proves the ability of Vietnam's strong sport in international arenas and the need to continue to invest in the right direction.

Leverkusen decide Wirtz's future

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Leverkusen will not let Wirtz leave in the summer of 2024. At the same time, when negotiating the future of coach Xabi Alonso, the club also ensured that Wirtz will continue to play in the 2024/25 season.

Earlier, in early June, Wirtz said he was happy at Leverkusen. The German star said: "I am having a great time at Leverkusen and feel very comfortable."

However, Wirtz's future may be different in the summer of 2025. Many big clubs are determined to spend a lot of money to get the signature of the midfielder born in 2005. Among them, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are considered the next bright destinations for Wirtz.

Wirtz's contract with the BayArena team is currently valid until June 2027. According to Transfermarkt, Wirtz's transfer value is also sky-high at 130 million euros. This shows that teams will have to pay a large fee to have the service of this young star.

England players "get rich" if they win EURO 2024

The Three Lions will begin their campaign to "conquer the summit of Europe" with the opening match against Serbia in Group C at 8:00 p.m. on June 16 (German time, or 2:00 a.m. on June 17, Hanoi time).

If they win the title on July 14, they will share in a £24m bonus that the Football Association (FA) receives.

Players including captain Harry Kane and superstar Jude Bellingham will share a sum of up to £9.6m.

The 53-year-old captain Southgate alone will receive the biggest bonus of up to 4 million pounds, while assistant Steve Holland is also promised a large sum. Thus, it can be seen that if they win EURO 2024, the members of the England team will share about 14 million pounds.
