(photo by Huu Pham) Not afraid of pressure, but worried about family influence “My life as a player has a lot to say,”-Tan Truong shared at the beginning of the livestream. The goalkeeper of Hanoi club said that he is a person who likes to exchange and talk. Tan Truong also talked about mistakes when doing the job: “Human, no one is perfect. If I’m too perfect, I’ll be arrested abroad. I’m human too, are you sure you’re not wrong all your life? If you comment, I will listen and correct it, but say I’m negative, I don’t care. After Dang Van Lam was not summoned to the Vietnamese team by Coach Park Hang-seo due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Tan Truong was selected to start 3 matches in the 2022 World Cup 2nd Qualifier in the UAE. The goalkeeper of Hanoi club played very well. Bui Tan Truong became the number 1 goalkeeper in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in the UAE after Dang Van Lam was not called up due to the COVID-19 epidemic. (photo by Huu Pham) He said he was very worried, because in the past he was criticized for making mistakes. “The matches are really nervous, because in the past, I often made mistakes, so I was afraid of being criticized by people. In the old days, I used to read the press, wrong about everyone with the criticizing newspaper. I can overcome it, but I’m afraid of psychology because of my children and family. As long as I play, I can overcome the pressure. But I am afraid of the feeling that my children hear others say that their father has sold out, being criticized. I am very afraid that my family will be affected, but I am fine,” said Bui Tan Truong. According to Bui Tan Truong, before joining the team and going to Hanoi, he played at the end of 2019, his contract with Becamex Binh Duong expired. He went home to rest for 7 months, thinking he wouldn’t play anymore. While playing for Becamex Binh Duong Club, Tan Truong made many mistakes and was criticized by fans. However, he is highly regarded for his expertise. (photo by Huu Pham) “I think I will do a livestream, each time it gets a hundred viewers. There was a time “live” for three or four hours that dozens of people watched. I appreciate them very much. There is a wave of hundreds, hundreds of people watching it, it’s really fun. Going to Hanoi has better interaction, but I’m less live. The highest hour is more than 12k viewers. Before, I actively interacted with viewers to get more viewers, but now many people read. Sometimes I like to do Vlog a lot, guys, but I can’t do it alone, I don’t know how. You must have an e-kip as well,” Tan Truong revealed. “9 years old selling lottery tickets, my life can be written into a book” Tan Truong shared that his childhood dream was to drive a car: “I am fortunate to be a professional footballer, earning money to support my family. When I was 9-10 years old, my dream was to be a car driver and earn money to support my family. Dreaming of being a driver, not a player.” According to Bui Tan Truong, he tries to work for his family, then if he is rich, he will contribute to the society, because “doing a lot of money can’t do anything, dying can’t take it away. It’s a lot to eat four meals a day.” And here is a part of Tan Truong’s autobiography about his life: “I grew up in a rural area, Long Hau commune, Dong Thap province. I grew up in Long Hau market. When I was about 9-10 years old, I used to sell lottery tickets, around 96 or 97 or something, lottery tickets were about 1,000/sheet. My family is not too poor, my mother is a trader from the past, living near the market. I sell lottery tickets because in my hometown from childhood to adulthood everyone knew gambling: playing cards, cockfighting, soccer… I grew up there and got infected. Tan Truong played well in 3 matches of the Vietnamese team in the UAE, especially in the match against Malaysia on 11/6. (photo by Huu Pham) When I was nine or ten years old, I knew how to gamble, the game for money is all about playing. Growing up, I knew that my family was difficult, since I was young I did not live with my father. Since childhood, she lived with her mother, raising 4 siblings. My mother did a lot of work, so from the moment I realized it, I loved her very much. Wherever my mother went to do business, I followed, when I was a child, I followed her mother. The furthest I went to Sadec. When I was twelve years old, I knew how to drive a Honda and smoke. When I was young, I wanted to try it, and when I saw adults smoking, I wanted to try it. At first I didn’t know I was still choking, then I became an addict.” Bui Tan Truong also shared many other memories when he was a child, such as playing in the sand, earning 12 thousand at first. Twelve years old driving 30-50kg of pork at 2am to help the family… The “livestream” of Tan Truong’s narrative until last night attracted more than 67,000 interactions and thousands of comments.

Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem is the most successful military leader in the V-League but is still fired After only 10 rounds, V-League 2021 has seen 5 leaders leave their seats, accounting for more than a third of the total number of coaches working in the No.1 tournament in Vietnam. What is behind these departures? Is it merely due to poor performance? The “grinder” coach is activated After the 9th round of V-League 2021, coach Phan Thanh Hung announced his farewell to Becamex Binh Duong club to treat newly discovered heart disease. However, this is not necessarily the whole cause. The recent unfavorable results have made the atmosphere in the Thu land team tense. There was even information appearing that there was an internal problem with Becamex Binh Duong. However, Mr. Hung asserted that his leave was simply due to health factors. Putting aside the obstacles surrounding Mr. Hung’s departure, fans must be surprised when he is the 5th captain in the V-League 2021 to leave from the beginning of the season. So far, the Saigon Club has said goodbye to two coaches, including Mr. Vu Tien Thanh and Mr. Masahiro Shimoda (Japan). Coach Pham Minh Duc, who has been with the Hong Linh Ha Tinh club for many years, has also gone away. More remarkable is the case of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, who helped Hanoi FC win 3 V-League championships, 2 National Cups and 3 National Super Cups were also fired. Except for coach Vu Tien Thanh, who had to leave his chair due to the team’s change of strategy, the common point of these rulers is poor performance. Becamex Binh Duong stopped, winning only 2 of the last 7 matches and was far behind in the championship race by HAGL. Hong Linh Ha Tinh, after the 2020 season, made a strong impression, having failed, won only 6 points (up to round 9), ranked last on the rankings. Hanoi FC as usual still started off quite slowly but it felt like the capital team was arrested, while coach Chu Dinh Nghiem could not make a change. In the midst of that context, changing the general is inevitable. Saigon club is no exception. Last season, the team in pink ran for the championship to the final rounds, but this season it was in the bottom half of the rankings. Coach Shimoda’s football philosophy is not considered suitable for the current Saigon staff. What is the cause? The fact that 4/14 V-League 2021 teams changed captains shows that the number one tournament in Vietnam is becoming a coaching furnace. Commentator Vu Quang Huy admits, the main reason is due to the high competitiveness in V-League 2021. “With the old format, each team has 26 rounds of effort so there can be errors or breaks in terms of performance. But this new format made the situation even more tense, teams only had 13 laps to race to stage 1. Losing a game or two was seen near the danger round. If we want to make an immediate change, there is only a way to change the general because this often brings a positive effect, at least mentally for the player, ”Mr. Huy analyzed. Former player Nguyen Hong Son has the same opinion. He emphasized that the current level of the V-League teams is not too far apart, so the tension in each match and each round is pushed up. In addition, Mr. Son also said that the expectation of the bosses and investors in the team is growing and when the coach cannot bring about high achievements, the departure is inevitable. From a broader perspective, expert Le The Tho affirmed that most of the coaches working in the V-League possess moderate professional qualifications. “Some people are not capable, they are not well-educated, refuse to learn and apply the achievements of world football, since there is no modern coaching method but only by experience. You try to count if there are teams that have won the V-League, there is a team that does not thanks to strong forces, excellent foreign soldiers, the role of the coach is very weak. If the coaching force does not upgrade, the V-League is difficult to develop professionally “, Mr. Tho commented. Former player Nguyen Hong Son also shared the assessment that some coaches in the V-League have not met the requirements for the development of Vietnamese football. “Whatever you say, although there are still limitations, the V-League is going up. Professional requirements are higher and higher, but very few V-League coaches can meet them. Here, we must understand that the training or competition cycle must consist of several phases. How to prepare, what to build, how to staff, how to enter the tournament and how to kick, after 5 rounds of playing or what should be changed next season. Not many V-League coaches have such a vision, so if the pressure increases, they will find it difficult to work, ”said the former Vietnamese midfielder. For his part, commentator Vu Quang Huy again said that the V-League coach team is not bad. According to Mr. Huy, the No. 1 football tournament in Vietnam has a good young coach, personality and know how to update from international documents. “Of course, a good coach does not necessarily have a good record, football is like that. Mostly, the coaches do not have enough staff to implement their ideas ”, Mr. Huy affirmed. In addition to the 5 coaches who have lost their positions, some other rulers in the V-League 2021 are also in a dangerous situation such as coach Nguyen Anh Tuan of the Hai Phong club and coach Alexandre Polking of the HCM City club. These two teams have played wildly over the past time and both stand near the group holding the red light.
