Vietnam defeat Laos 2-0 in 2023 SE Asian Games men’s football

Image
The Vietnamese, who won the gold medal in men’s football at the delayed 2021 SE Asian Games organized in Hanoi in May 2022, were expected to have an easy game, but they faced strong resistance from their Lao opponents and sometimes stayed in a deadlock at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh. The junior Golden Stars got off to a great start in the second minute when Nguyen Van Tung headed the ball past Lao goalkeeper Solasak Thilavong into the net, following a good cross from Nguyen Thanh Nhan from the right side. With the early lead, coach Philippe Troussier’s team tried to reduce the match’s tempo, but moments of sloppy defending gave Laos some good chances.

Teachers go digital in fourth industrial revolution

Image
  Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong has spent five years designing online lectures. Instead of standing in front of students, she talks to a camera. To add more feeling to her lectures, Huong has to picture pupils’ faces in her head. Through online lectures, teachers now can reach a larger number of students as cyberspace is much larger than any traditional class. Online teaching also puts more pressure on teachers. For example, students may want to connect with the teachers via social networks to ask them questions through livestreams. More students mean more pressure, but this also means more love and appreciation./.
