So why is Philippe Troussier – a Frenchman, interested in VFF? Simply because he understood – and succeeded, Asian football as well as having spent 3 years working with Vietnamese football in the role of Technical Director of PVF Training Center and leading the Vietnam U19 team. Male.
With Park Hang-seo, he can understand Asian football but Vietnamese football is clearly zero in his mind before being approached. Here, the important reason is the introduction of the manager Doan Nguyen Duc and more importantly, the Korean coach himself has a sense of learning and adapting to not only football but also the habits of football. activities of Vietnamese players.
The question is, why must the new coach understand to quickly adapt to the Vietnamese football environment, but not the players need to change to adapt to the new teacher’s philosophy and coaching methods?
Mr. Park was surprised by Vietnamese napping and he had to adapt to it too. Well, a short nap does not take much time during the day, but in terms of expertise, living and training according to any plan, the player needs to follow the coaching staff.
Quang Hai is playing football in France, so he understands what the job entails. Van Hau has changed a lot in his body when he came to the Netherlands and obviously, the Thai Binh player understands how important the physical factor is.
Modern football increasingly requires physical strength and the number of players who “play only 60 minutes” has been shrinking. In Vietnam’s World Cup ambitions, fitness is a very important part. Coaches from Europe bring that but most likely will not be accepted by Vietnamese players because… too heavy, too pressured.
It would be difficult with that thought. Even the fact that players go abroad is an aspect that shows that Vietnamese players adapt well to the new environment, which is very bad. Just look at Chanathip Songkrasin and Thailand’s Theerathon Bunmathan and you’ll see the difference…
Assuming, coach Troussier is appointed and brings rigorous training methods, demanding professionalism, the players are ready to respond? Or will there be only a short time for the “White Witch”?
