On the sidelines of the children's football field: When the Deputy Director of TTVH became a sports 'reporter'

(Baonghean.vn) - When the Deputy Director of the Culture and Sports Center "plays the role" of a reporter, the joy of "making friends" with opponents, the most "reticent" coach of the Youth-National Football Tournament - Nghe An Newspaper Cup is the fun stories on the sidelines of the field...

The most "secretive" coach

Coach of Vinh City Youth Football Team Nguyen Tuan Diep instructs his students.

On the field, coach of Vinh City Youth Team Nguyen Tuan Diep is the loudest person. On the sidelines, this coach always shouts and instructs his players to attack and defend. Even though the team won big, this coach still constantly calls on his players to move forward. He openly shared: "I have to remind them like that so that they get used to it; always be aware of their position, not be subjective, and underestimate the enemy."

It looks different than it seems! Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, coach of Vinh City Football Team, revealed about his teammate: “During training, Diep is very secretive. Even I don’t know where Diep trains before the tournament. Every day, he changes locations.”

Mr. Nguyen Sy Tuan - Deputy Director of Nghi Loc District Culture, Sports and Tourism Center "complained": Before entering the tournament, Nghi Loc Youth Team repeatedly requested to play friendly matches and learn from Vinh City Youth Team, but Coach Nguyen Tuan Diep was very "snobbish" and absolutely refused for fear of revealing his cards and players.

Deputy Director as reporter

All matches of the Youth Football Tournament - Nghe An Newspaper Cup are always reported, narrated and video-clipped promptly by Nghe An Newspaper reporters.

Mr. Ton That Hai "plays the role" of a reporter.

In the last “hot” match of the group stage, Group A, Vinh City Youth Team met Hung Nguyen Youth Team to “decide” a place in the semi-finals; Nghe An Newspaper reporter left the computer desk, reporting to take photos… When he returned, he saw Mr. Ton That Hai, Deputy Director of the Vinh City World Culture Center, sitting and typing on the reporter’s computer.

Mr. Hai "played the role" of a reporter and reported on the progress of the match.

Hotter outside than inside

After the match with TN Anh Son, all the players, coaches, and fans of TN Quynh Luu football team did not rush to go home, but stayed to watch the second match despite the scorching heat. They all stayed to support TN TP. Vinh, the team that had previously defeated them with a resounding 7-0 score.

Quynh Luu district leaders and the TN football team were outside, worried and cheering for the Vinh City TN team.

Having 6 points after 3 matches, goal difference is +2, temporarily standing in second place in the table but TN Quynh Luu cannot decide the second ticket to the semi-finals. The ticket to the semi-finals of the home team depends on the result of TN TP.Vinh with TN Hung Nguyen. If TN Hung Nguyen wins, it means TN Quynh Luu is eliminated... Therefore, TN Quynh Luu does not support TN TP.Vinh, which is strange.

Off the field, the players, coaches, and fans of the Quynh Luu Youth Team were even more worried than the Vinh City Youth Team. Off the field, the Quynh Luu Youth Team players kept cheering for the Vinh City Youth Team: “Vinh City, keep going!” “Vinh City, keep going!” “Vinh City – Quynh Luu: 2-0”… Perhaps thanks to the added strength, the home team won against Hung Nguyen Youth Team with a score of 3-1.

Save beautiful memories

Borrowed mom's phone to take a selfie with a new friend.

Leaving the tournament early, the Hung Nguyen Youth Team left a good impression in the hearts of the audience and young football fans in the province with their fiery, technical playing style, with amazing long-range shots. And the players of this team are very “cute”… When seeing the Cua Lo Youth Team players wearing studded shoes (not in the same group as the Hung Nguyen Youth Team), a young Hung Nguyen Youth Team player approached the referee’s table and reminded: “Teacher! The Cua Lo Youth Team players are wearing studded shoes, the teachers told them to take them off.”

The referees replied, “Thank you very much for reminding me.”

Leaving the tournament, the players of TN Hung Nguyen had time to get acquainted, interact and make friends with other players of the same age. Before saying goodbye, a player of TN Hung Nguyen borrowed his mother's phone to take a selfie and save a memorable moment with a player of TN Nghi Loc.
