"Quang Hai will gradually get better. He came all the way from Vietnam and his family is not here. He also cannot speak French or English, so everything was quite challenging. But Hai is a warrior. He has good skills with agility so I think he will quickly find an important position in the squad," Laporte-Fray told French newspaper La Republique des Pyrenees on Thursday. Hai’s debut in France’s second division Ligue 2 was not complete as Pau FC lost 0-4 to Guingamp. Hai played the last 30 minutes of the game and although he couldn’t make a difference, he was still the second highest-rated player of Pau FC in that game, with 13 touches, a pass accuracy of 100 percent and two chances from set pieces. Hai signed a two-year contract with Pau FC on June 30, becoming the first Vietnamese player to play in a professional football league in France. Pau FC have been supportive of the 25-year-old midfielder to adapt to a new environment. Currently, he is being assisted by a French … [Read more...] about French club president compliments Vietnam star midfielder after league debut

Russian-born goalkeeper Dang Van Lam will compete for Topenland Binh Dinh FC in Vietnam’s top-tier V-League 1 following the two sides’ deal signing, the football club announced on Monday afternoon. The contract will last for three years. While Lam’s salary was kept undisclosed, sources told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the payment is not less than US$300,000 a year. After completing the paperwork, Lam will play in Topenland Binh Dinh FC’s match against Thanh Hoa FC in the 13th round of the 2022 V-League 1 on August 20. “Before, I played in Thailand and Japan as I wanted to try new opportunities and challenge myself,” said Lam after the contract signing ceremony. “Now, I think more about my family, so I want to return to Vietnam and play football here. “It’s a pleasure for me to wear Topenland Binh Dinh’s jersey for the next three years.” Lam joined Japan’s Cerezo Osaka football club in early 2021.

The Vietnam Football Federation Referee Committee determined that Lan's mistake affected the outcome of the 12th round match on August 14, which Hanoi ended up winning 2-1. In the 33rd minute Hanoi defender Do Duy Manh stepped on the foot of HAGL striker Bruno Henrique in the penalty area. Despite having a clear view, Lan did not spot the foul and let the game continue. HAGL should have got a penalty and Manh should have been sent off because he had already received a yellow card. After the match Lan admitted his mistake to the head of the committee, Duong Van Hien, explaining that the action had been too fast and both players had been wearing white boots. Three minutes later Lan was again in the thick of things when he denied Hanoi a clear penalty after their striker Tonci Mujan was fouled by goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh inside the box. Lan is the only FIFA referee in Vietnam to reach the Elite level, the highest in the hierarchy. He is considered the best referee in … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s only FIFA Elite referee suspended for league game blunder

Khoa entered the field as a substitution in the third additional minute of the second half. Just a minute later, he shoved Pham Minh Nghia as the Nam Dinh player cleared the ball. An unhappy Hung then had some words with Khoa. In response, Khoa punched him in the face, leading to an altercation. Referee Nguyen Manh Hai subsequently gave Khoa a red card and Hung a yellow. Khoa pissed off many Nam Dinh fans who drowned him in insults, necessitating his secure removal from the field. For his violent behavior, Khoa is expected to receive a punishment from Vietnam Football Federation in the coming days. The game ended with a 2-1 victory for Nam Dinh, which helped them climb to 11th while HCMC dropped to 12th, right above bottom-placed Sai Gon FC. … [Read more...] about Player punches opponent in V.

"We are in the final stages of negotiation to acquire Dang Van Lam," said Nguyen Duc Thang, Binh Dinh head coach in a press conference Friday. Lam is playing for Japan’s J. League 1 side Cerezo Osaka, but struggled to get into the main lineup and spent most of his time on the bench. Therefore, to maintain his form and prepare for AFF Cup later this year with the national team, the Vietnamese-Russian keeper decided to return to Vietnam. His agent has been working with several V. League clubs in the past month. Lam will fly to Vietnam on Saturday to complete the negotiation with Binh Dinh. If everything goes right, he will sign a two-year deal there and might play his first league game for the club on Aug. 20. Binh Dinh are one of the most active clubs in the V. League transfer window this season, as they recruited a handful of national players with the ambition to win the league title. After 11 games, the club are in fifth among 17 teams, five points from the top spot. Before … [Read more...] about Star goalie to return to Vietnam after spell in Japan

Arsenal also have a maximum six points from two games after Gabriel Jesus starred in their 4-2 win over Leicester. As soaring temperatures across England meant water breaks were introduced at all this weekend's Premier League games, United melted away in the first-half in West London to continue Erik ten Hag's nightmare start as manager. Man Utd battered by Brentford as Man City, Arsenal maintain perfect start (source: youtube) The Red Devils were 4-0 down after just 35 minutes as Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbuemo put Ten Hag's men to the sword. "I feel really sorry for the fans, we let them down," said Ten Hag. "I think Brentford were more hungry and we conceded goals to individual mistakes. You can have a plan but that puts the plan in the bin." Cristiano Ronaldo was selected in the Dutch coach's starting line-up after starting last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Brighton on the bench, but rather than riding to the rescue, his presence only … [Read more...] about Man Utd battered by Brentford as Man City, Arsenal maintain perfect start

The Thang Long Warriors, last year’s Vietnam Professional Basketball League (VBA) runners-up, suffered their first defeat this season against the Ho Chi Minh City Wings in a neck and neck performance that stretched into overtime. The trend in this year’s VBA season seems to be a widespread dependence on trios of two foreign players and one Vietnamese player for both defense and offense. Both the Warriors and the Wings used this tactic successfully throughout their first games of the season. The Warriors’ Tim Guers and Jordan Young are the two foreign players on the team’s ‘trio,’ with each able to find the net both inside and outside the three-point line. On the Wings, veteran player Vincent Nguyen has earned himself a key position thanks to his ability to clear the court for his two foreign teammates, Makinde London and Jeremy Smith. The Warriors and the Wings met each other in Game 9 of the VBA Premier Bubble Games - Brought to you by NovaWorld Phan Thiet at the VBA-NTU … [Read more...] about Ho Chi Minh City Wings deal first loss to Thang Long Warriors in overtime

While state media said the "anti-epidemic situation... has entered a definite phase of stability", rather than boasting of victory, North Korea said it would "redouble efforts to maintain perfection in the execution of state anti-epidemic policies". The reclusive country has never confirmed how many people caught Covid-19, apparently lacking testing supplies. But it said around 4.77 million fever patients have fully recovered and 74 died since late April. It has reported no new fever cases since July 30. South Korean officials and medical experts have cast doubts on those figures, especially the number of deaths. Shin Young-jeon, a professor at Hanyang University's medical school in Seoul, said while the peak of the first Covid wave may have passed, the stated fatalities were nearly "impossible" and there could be up to 50,000 deaths. "Their success, if any, should lie in the fact that the outbreak didn't lead to a political or social chaos. Whether their Covid response was … [Read more...] about North Korea marks end of first Covid wave, but risks persist

Some copyright-infringed websites (Photo: baodautu.vn) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Copyright infringement has been running rampant in Vietnam , causing great damage to the video industry, according to insiders. Le Quang Tu Do, Deputy Director of the Broadcasting and Electronic Information Authority, admitted that many websites have been violating copyright regulations in the country by uploading videos without permission. The website creators are so cunning that they set up their servers overseas to hide traces. Every time an illegal website gets banned, a new one immediately emerges and appears unrelated to the banned one. By late June, authorities have detected and banned over 500 copyright-infringing websites, but this amount is outpaced by the sites that replace them. Pham Hoang Hai, Director of the Vietnam Digital Content Copyright Centre, revealed that illegal websites fall foul of copyright regulations by live-streaming unauthorised videos, or edit videos and … [Read more...] about Copyright infringement runs rampant online
