Vietnam Olympic training session "broke" because Deputy Minister came to give lucky money

This morning's training session of Coach Miura and his team had to end about half an hour earlier than expected, when Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Khanh Hai suddenly came to wish them a happy new year and give them lucky money.

In the past training sessions, the Vietnam Olympic team's training sessions always lasted 2 hours or even more. However, this morning, Coach Miura and his players only practiced for about 1 hour before stopping because the Deputy Minister came to visit.

Accompanying Deputy Minister Le Khanh Hai were officials from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, General Director of the General Department of Sports and Physical Training Vuong Bich Thang, Deputy General Director of the General Department of Sports and Physical Training Tran Duc Phan, and leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation.

Mr. Hai sent New Year wishes to the Vietnam Olympic team, wishing the team the best results in training and competition. Deputy Minister Le Khanh Hai also did not forget to give lucky money to Coach Miura and his students. In a short conversation with Coach Miura, the Deputy Minister said: "This is a traditional custom of Vietnam". In response, the Japanese coach said that this year he was very happy and pleased to receive many lucky money.

In addition to the coaching staff of the Vietnam Olympic team, 30 players also received lucky money from Deputy Minister Le Khanh Hai.

After Deputy Minister Le Khanh Hai left, Coach Miura let the players leave practice early. This was the first time the players had been allowed to leave practice so early.

Returning to the training session this morning, the Olympic team did not have to be physically trained but immediately started to practice confrontation. Coach Miura wanted his students to have a connection with each other and understand each other better in this exercise. The Japanese coach continuously "paused" to demonstrate to the players. Just like yesterday's training session, there were some situations where Coach Miura showed his dissatisfaction because the young players did not understand what he meant.

Regarding the injury situation, striker Phuc Tinh has returned to normal training, while Xuan Truong and Duy Manh still have to practice separately on the sidelines.
