The art of "beheading" of Mr. Duc

No! The answer is no, someone who has “tasted the honey and slept on thorns” on the Vietnamese football field would not easily make a decision in a haphazard manner. First of all, in theory, Mr. Duc understands that only the Disciplinary Board is the authority to impose a penalty on Tang Tien.

The announcement of the Disciplinary Board: "The Disciplinary Board temporarily suspends Tang Tien for 1 match, not allowing him to play in the National Cup on the afternoon of April 9. The temporarily suspended match will be deducted from the number of suspended matches that player Nguyen Tang Tien must serve according to the disciplinary decision of the Disciplinary Board" has the highest legal value.

Cut off tearsGeneral

First of all, we should not judge and compare: "If SLNA and Hai Phong disciplined their players like HAGL, they would have no one left to play", because both SLNA and Hai Phong do not tolerate violent play.

SLNA is also a team that has struggled, wasted money and time with the case of Que Ngoc Hai. No manager wants their team's image to be distorted through such violent football.

Coach Pham Minh Duc, who trained the youth team of Hanoi, said: "For example, if the Federation punishes him for 3 or 5 matches, that is the job of the Federation and the Disciplinary Board. As for the club, if a young player encounters a situation like that, they will go back and teach him, and when the disciplinary period of the organizing board expires, they will let the player return to the field and remind him never to make a mistake like that again."

Minh Duc did not know that, as the team's manager, Mr. Duc had the right to decide which players to play on the field or not. In our opinion, Mr. Duc's immediate decision was extremely wise, indirectly sending the message that HAGL is determined to pursue beautiful football.

One thing is certain, when the Disciplinary Board considers Tang Tien's case, it will take into account the decision of Mr. Duc, which has been published in the media in a way that is favorable to this player. This is the art of "beheading"!

Minh Duc does not understand that if he only needs to “control” Tang Tien, he only needs to ask the HAGL management board to carry out his instructions, without having to widely announce it to the press. Obviously, Mr. Duc is using the “tears and generals” tactic to protect the image that he and his colleagues at HAGL are working hard to build. Perhaps, the opinions that go against Mr. Duc are simply emotional, not fully understanding what HAGL wants.

Minh Duc said: "It is not right to discipline players internally like that. The player already knows he is wrong, and his teammates also look at that and learn from it so they don't make the same mistake again. We should only teach the players so they can learn from their mistakes and not make the same mistake again." In our opinion, the opposite is very appropriate.

In fact, in SLNA, Dinh Dong made a tackle like that, but then Que Ngoc Hai still made a mistake. One thing is for sure, Tang Tien has seen the heavy penalties from the V-League Organizing Committee in previous years but is still "hot-headed" and after Tang Tien, no one can be sure that there will be no more hot heads.

Behind the message

Just a click of a mobile phone button is enough for HAGL to issue an internal penalty for Tang Tien, and just a phone call is enough for this player to be allowed on the field. This is the art of “beheading”!

So clearly, public opinion does not need to care whether Mr. Duc is heavy-handed with the army or not, but on the contrary, what Tang Tien realized after the unfortunate collision.

Compared to the initial punishment from the Disciplinary Board, Mr. Duc's decision was made much faster and stronger. But if Tang Tien knows how to repent, I believe that HAGL will soon make decisions to create conditions for this central defender to correct his mistakes./.
