By Cheng Shan. The US-Mexico-Canada World Cup is about to kick off, drawing the world's attention. As Chinese fans, we can't help but feel a sense of regret—the senior men's team has once again missed this grand event. However, if you shift your focus away from the spotlight, you'll discover a heartening scene. The Chinese women's national team, the U20 women's team, the U17 women's team, and the Chinese men's U17 team—four national squads—have all secured their World Cup berths.

Australian head coach Milicic has been confirmed to remain in his position, and former national team player Ma Xiaoxu has been appointed as an assistant coach.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is widely recognized to have broken the Premier League single-season assist record. In the 3-0 victory over Brighton, his corner kick helped Patrick Dorgu score a header. However, a major controversy emerged after the match, as slow-motion replays suggested the goal might actually be an own goal by Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen! The replay showed that Dorgu's header first hit the crossbar, then bounced off the goalkeeper's hand and into the net.

Reporter Lu Mi reports: 1-0, Tongliang Dragons defeated Hainiu away, ending an embarrassing six-match winless run and claiming three points with exceptional cost-effectiveness, returning to second place in the Chinese Super League standings. Substitute foreign striker Kenpannu scored the decisive goal, making him the hero of the match and a key factor in the team's recent turnaround.

Reporter Chen Yong reports: Despite dominating most of the match, a world-class strike from Kenpanu ultimately forced Haicow to accept a home defeat, extending their losing streak to three games. Notably, this marks their second three-game losing streak of the season. Going from four consecutive wins to three straight losses, Haicow's once optimistic survival outlook has turned precarious.

As the evening breeze of Manchester once again sweeps across the Etihad Stadium, the setting sun stretches the shadows of the North Stand long and deep. Here, the curtain is about to fall on a ten-year era. The name known as "Pep Guardiola," along with the twenty hefty trophies he has left behind, will transform into the most brilliant galaxy of the Blue Moon on this night.

After taking over, South Korean coach Xu Zhengyuan completely reversed the team's previous six-match losing streak in just four rounds.
