Mount’s contract situation has alerted several clubs, who could get themselves a bargain in the summer with the midfielder up for sale as he enters the final year of his deal.

U19 coach Mike Tullberg reacted to the dominance of the hosts, who had taken the lead through Simon Schierack in the fourth minute and then missed a penalty, after half an hour in Leipzig. “We played slightly too wildly,” said Tullberg, who made changes to his starting line-up in terms of personnel and tactics. Farouk Cisse and Hendry Blank now formed the central defensive partnership, while Jaden Korzynietz moved over to left-back and Danylo Krevsun over to right-back.

SV Werder successfully kicked off their project in Vietnam with a number of activities on Independence Day.

A year ago, Christian Streich’s team were able to deal with the heady atmosphere of the Karaiskakis Stadium and come out as convincing 3-0 victors. Just over 12 months on from that memorable victory, the scoreline had become a lot tighter but the same side took all three points. “We played a good first half, especially on the ball.
