VPF finalizes plan to bring back V.League 2020; Luis Suarez is about to become Lee Nguyen's teammate

Luis Suarez is about to become Lee Nguyen's teammate

According to the Independent, Luis Suarez is negotiating with Inter Miami, a club co-chaired by David Beckham. This is also the team where Vietnamese-American midfielder Lee Nguyen plays in the US Major League Soccer (MLS).

Sources have revealed that Luis Suarez is not in coach Ronald Koeman's plans. The Uruguayan striker was informed of this after receiving a 1-minute phone call from the new Barca captain.

It is known that Luis Suarez prioritizes looking for a new team in Europe. However, Inter Miami is the team that offers the most attractive salary. The playing environment in the US is also considered the most suitable for the 33-year-old striker's physical condition.

The impact of injury has caused Luis Suarez to have the least number of appearances (36 matches) and the least number of goals (21 goals) since joining Barca in 2014. This is also the striker's first trophyless season with the Nou Camp team.

Currently, Luis Suarez is receiving a salary of up to 450 thousand Euros/week at Barca. However, this striker is willing to reduce his salary if he moves to a new team in this summer transfer window.

Barcelona ready to take Messi to court

The war at Nou Camp has now entered the stage of using money to tie each other down when Barcelona only agrees to let Messi leave when receiving a transfer fee of 200 million pounds.

The price that Barca offered was only if Messi asked to leave the Catalan team early. They even gave Messi two difficult options: "stay, or go to court together!".

It is known that Messi's contract with Barca has a clause that allows him to leave for free at the end of each season, if Messi wants to. However, the above clause is binding in that Messi can only leave for free before June.

The Spanish press also said that the reason that broke the camel's back was that in a meeting with Messi, new coach Koeman forced the player to change his playing style to serve the team, and at the same time signaled that he would limit Messi's "power".

The matter will certainly not stop here and the two sides may even have to take each other to court.

Today, August 27, U22 Vietnam will practice with Viettel.

After many days of mainly internal competitions, on August 27, U22 Vietnam had its first match with an outside team, Viettel. This was the last match of U22 Vietnam in this gathering.

Currently, the number of U22 Vietnam players is quite large, so it is expected that Mr. Park will use a different formation in each half to give all players the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Through their experiences, the players will prove their effectiveness and suitability in the overall playing style.

The U22 Vietnam squad is currently weakened as Viet Cuong, Minh Binh and Tien Anh are injured, so they will have to sit out the match against Viettel. The severity of the injuries of these three players is different. Among them, Minh Binh has a more serious injury than his teammates.

However, this is only the second training session for the 2021 SEA Games campaign and there are many more training sessions ahead, so the players still have equal opportunities. In the match on the afternoon of August 27, Viettel will bring a strong force to the field so that the players can regain their competitive spirit in preparation for the 2020 National Cup to return on September 11.

Viettel team will field both domestic and foreign players with extremely strong forces such as Ngoc Hai, Tien Dung, Hoang Duc, Bruno, Trong Hoang, Minh Tuan... so U22 Vietnam will have extremely high-quality "blue team". This is also what coach Park Hang-seo is aiming for because only when playing against a team with a strong force like Viettel will he know the ability of his students. Moreover, when playing against the "big guys", the young players will learn a lot of experience.

VPF finalizes plan to bring V.League 2020 back to competition in September

On the afternoon of August 26, Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) finalized a plan to bring professional football tournaments back to competition and submitted it to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).

The 2020 National Cup is expected to return with the quarter-finals taking place on September 11 and 12, the semi-finals on September 16 and the final on September 20.

V.League 2020 will return to competition in September.

Regarding specific organization, depending on the COVID-19 epidemic situation, VPF will consider whether the tournaments will have spectators or not.

The Vietnam national team's competition schedule in 2020 has been pushed back, allowing domestic tournaments to have more time to organize.

VPF is trying hard to bring professional football back as soon as possible after being postponed due to COVID-19, but certainly cannot cancel it as many clubs have proposed.

Mr. Park Hang-seo was awarded the Second Class Labor Medal.

This morning (August 27), at the headquarters of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), head coach of the Vietnam national team Park Hang-seo will be honored to receive the Second Class Labor Medal for his achievements in helping the Vietnam U22 team win the first gold medal at the 30th SEA Games.

Two assistants of Mr. Park Hang-seo were also honored to receive Certificates of Merit from the Prime Minister for their contributions to Vietnamese football.

Coach Park Hang-seo and his players won the Gold Medal at SEA Games 30.

Previously, at the end of January 2018, Mr. Park Hang-seo was awarded the Third Class Labor Medal by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc for his runner-up performance in the 2018 U23 Asian Cup finals. U23 Vietnam received the First Class Labor Medal.
