Expert Nguyen Van Vinh pointed out serious mistakes of Mr. Duc
(Baonghean.vn) - In a recent TV show, football expert Nguyen Van Vinh shared about his time working with Mr. Duc and developing Gia Lai football to a new level. Besides, he pointed out Mr. Duc's conservatism and mistakes about the generation of players Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong...
Regarding the story of expert Nguyen Van Vinh and boss Doan Nguyen Duc, the reporter asked: There is information that you and boss Duc cannot find a common voice. One is to immediately find a suitable coach after having trained a generation of players like Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh, Cong Phuong... and coach Grachen is not the teacher who can develop the players to a higher level. The second is to advise boss Duc not to push the U19 JMG players to participate in V.League 2015 too soon.

Expert Nguyen Van Vinh: "You play very well, but if you keep losing, what's the point? In the end, in sports, the winner is the best." |
Expert Nguyen Van Vinh said: “I have a lot of experience, all the coaches trained by the Sports University in the country including Tu Son, Thu Duc… did not produce good coaches. And do not think that every foreign coach has good expertise.
Now let's look back, how many years did it take for HAGL to escape the danger of relegation? It was 3 years. So, wouldn't it be better if I let them play in a suitable environment for 3 years, so they can mature? But maybe not even 3 years. I only need 1 year for them to play about 40 matches somewhere. They will absorb civilization and endurance, civilization of tactics, intelligence of tactics."

Mr. Nguyen Van Vinh continued: “Why is it that every time HAGL plays, there are 20,000 spectators, but they always lose? So what is the ultimate goal? You play so well, but if you lose everywhere, what is the point? In the end, in sports, the winner is the best.”
When the U19 HAGL JMG players were about to be promoted to play in the V.League, coach Le Thuy Hai, who was then leading B. Binh Duong, frankly said that no player in the U19 Vietnam team was qualified enough to play for the team from Thu Dau Mot.
In the 2015 season, HAGL ranked 13th overall, in 2016 HAGL ranked 12th and in 2017, HAGL ranked 10th. After 4 years of competing in the V.League, the generation of players Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Van Toan... are the core of HAGL, currently ranked 9th on the rankings with 7 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses.
