Stories from near and far about good teachers doing 'harsh jobs'

Meanwhile, a strong football foundation attracts many good teachers and good players, but it is not certain that it will produce a good coach like England, for example. For a long time, the English have not had the desired success when hiring foreign coaches for the team. Then, when returning to "homegrown", things are still not much better (Coach Gareth Southgate). Then, when everything seems to be going well, they encounter the ingenuity of... the Italians, from the role of the teacher to the cunning and ingenuity of the students in the art of defense and the calculating playing style that is ingrained in the blood of the Azzurri army like at EURO 2020.

With European football being the most developed in the world, there is something strange and not so strange, but with football in the low-lying areas, everything is even more unspeakable. People have hired foreign coaches from Europe and America one after another but have not achieved much. Then they return to the big names of Japan and Korea like the way Vietnamese, Indonesian or Singaporean football is doing. The success of Mr. Park Hang-seo is being replicated in the region and the success of the process of "continentalization" of the military leader still has to wait for time to answer.

Mr. Park Hang-seo's success is being replicated in the region.

Not only the Vietnam National Team but also the top V-League teams such as Hanoi FC or Viettel are using Korean coaches. The positive effect is gradually being proven in the context of Vietnamese football, where many people have registered for the title of head coach but have very limited success. The coaching profession is difficult and harsh, today's success will be discovered, tomorrow will fail and be fired, including the famous coaches mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Veteran coach Phan Thanh Hung brought Hanoi FC to the top, then Chu Dinh Nghiem, but then time forced them to leave, to go to a new team, and success is a story as difficult as... reaching the sky. Huu Thang was successful with Song Lam Nghe An, but when he joined the national team and joined Ho Chi Minh City, it was a much more difficult story, with much more certainty of failure. Reality has answered very specifically. Praise is to praise them for daring to commit, knowing failure but still daring to do it, daring to accept it. But the worry and sadness is that they should have accumulated more, learned more, made more accurate choices, then who knows, slow but sure, long but steady, with more opportunities to do it again, to do it again...

It is also worrying and sad that even those who study well and are serious, but success comes and goes quickly. It is difficult to succeed for one season, it is even more difficult to maintain success. A series of young teachers like Huu Thang, Viet Hoang... are among them. When everything is out of reach, no matter how talented, it will be difficult. "The four-legged chair, the player holds three" is a story that everyone knows. The team that was once considered the "Chelsea of ​​Vietnam" - Becamex Binh Duong - was successful but then fell into a situation of changing coaches like eating, running around in circles and not being able to escape the mess. A rich team like Ho Chi Minh City last season invited a bunch of good teachers, good students, but at most, they only finished second once and now they are running for their lives to avoid relegation. The rich are still miserable, while the poor "cry their eyes out" like Nam Dinh is a daily story, the story of changing teachers and changing chairs to maintain the rank, not knowing when it will improve.

A person with a history of playing well can become a good teacher like Fran Beckenbauer or Johan Cruyff, but there is also a story of a player who plays poorly but becomes a great teacher like Jose Mourinho or Thomas Tuchel. Mr. Thanh Hung is the only one who has grown up remarkably in the group of Quang Nam - Da Nang stars who won the national championship in 1992, when Song Lam Nghe Tinh was just learning the profession to rise to the "premier league". Mr. Hung was taught many profound lessons by his seniors Van Loi, Tran Vu, Le Dinh Chinh, Vu Van Tu... in addition to his own progress, so the outstanding success of the person who was assigned to lead the national team and the lasting success until now has a solid foundation. Meanwhile, Huu Thang can learn many things from his seniors Nguyen Thanh Vinh, Hong Thanh... but that is only enough for Song Lam Nghe An and the young teacher to win the championship once. And after that is the process of self-reliance in a foreign land, a new land, which is not easy at all for not only Huu Thang or Viet Hoang...

Coach Huy Hoang.

The story of Huu Thang in Song Lam Nghe An is quite similar to Huy Hoang's current steps. It seems similar, but the conditions and circumstances are different now, so in fact, it is extremely difficult for Huy Hoang to do anything, if not to say that failure is imminent? A team that always has a good youth training center, has a good system in all aspects, but in fact does not have a truly good coach (or do they not use talented people and lend them to other places?) will never have good results in the V-League like what has been happening so harshly for a long time?
