Vietnam football star receives 8-match ban for attacking assistant referee

for eight matches as he had attacked an assistant referee following a lost game earlier this week.

The player, 31-year-old Nguyen Van Quyet, who just won the prestigious Vietnam Golden Ball for the second time in February this year, was also slapped with a fine of VND40 million (US$1,703).

Quyet attacked assistant referee Nguyen Le Nguyen Thanh after Hanoi FC lost 1-3 to Topenland Binh Dinh in the seventh round of the 2023 V-League 1, the top professional football league in Vietnam, on Monday.

Assistant referee Thanh affirmed that Quyet thrusted his elbow into his chest, causing him to suffer from difficulty breathing, according to news site VnExpress.

The Hanoi FC striker and skipper was immediately shown a red card at the pitch.

One day later, Quyet made a phone call to Thanh to apologize to him and also issued an apology on social media, VnExpress reported.

For further punishments, the tournament organizers compiled notes from the match observers and referee team and submitted a report to the VFF disciplinary committee, which eventually came up with the eight-match ban and the VND40-million fine, the highest penalties for this offense.

This means that Quyet, who has had 97 international games, including 57 caps and 16 goals in the national team jersey, will not be able to play official games until July.

Quyet was entrusted with the national team’s captain armband at several tournaments in 2018 and his latest cap was at the 2022 AFF Cup from December 20, 2022 to January 16, when he played as a starting player in two matches and a substitute in two others.   

This is not the first time that the striker has been suspended for using physical violence during games.

He was banned from playing football for two matches after stepping on another player at the 2019 V-League 1.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Giant calligraphy hat breaks record as largest in Vietnam

Image
The work has been done on the initiative of Dao Thi Cam Suong, a calligrapher from Can Tho. The giant conical hat is made up of a total of 540 smaller conical hats, with calligraphy written on top.
