"Storm" of injuries causes SLNA players to "suffer losses"

(Baonghean.vn) - Last time, Tuan Tai had to pack his bags and return home early after only a few days of training with U.23 Vietnam. This time, it was Hoang Thinh's turn, the great hope of U.23 Vietnam at the upcoming SEA Games, to pack up and return home, due to a terrible injury sustained in a friendly match with U.23 Korea.

The style of play that the Japanese strategist is building seems to be unsuitable for the Nghe An players, who play with passion and in a "brave" style.

Hoang Thinh had to leave SEA Games early due to injury

Although he did not say it directly, looking at his two years with Vietnamese football, it can be seen that Mr. Miura wants to build a team that focuses on physical play and is not afraid of collision. Of course, to do that, it requires training with strict training programs. Any player when called up to the national team must meet Miura's physical training exercises.

The players were exhausted but no one dared to complain, because joining the national team was just the beginning and only when they satisfied Mr. Miura, would the conquest of the goals with the U.23 or the national team have a chance to become a reality. Therefore, without anyone telling anyone, everyone had to "burn" themselves out to score points, with the hope of being retained and, further, having a starting position.

Phi Son suffered a serious injury in the friendly match between U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Korea.

The “fierce” races therefore take place right in the training sessions, not to mention the friendly matches. In this context, most SLNA players, who are “enthusiastic” and dedicated when on the field, do their best. Not being afraid of collisions and disputes means high risks and what can easily happen is injuries. During the previous training session of U.23 Vietnam to prepare for the U.23 Asian qualifiers, Tuan Tai got injured because he tried too hard to score points. Not long after that, he was sent back to his hometown.

It seems that Tan Tai's story is a warning for Nghe An players in this training session, but in reality, things are even worse. Everyone wants to practice well and play well in friendly matches, so they try their best and get injured. Of the 6 Nghe An players called up for this training session, only Manh Hung has not had any injury problems, the rest have been and are going through nightmares. The most pitiful case is Hoang Thinh. The midfielder who was planned by Mr. Miura to be the captain because of playing too enthusiastically suffered a serious injury in the friendly match between Vietnam U.23 and Korea U.23. For the second time in his career, Hoang Thinh had to say goodbye to the SEA Games, a tournament that is the dream of any football player in Vietnam.

Hoang Thinh is often called "warrior". Playing with all his heart and often being present at hot spots on the field, Thinh is often disadvantaged. Since starting his career, Hoang Thinh has had to sit in the stands to watch his teammates compete many times because of injuries. In addition to Hoang Thinh having to leave the SEA Games early, Phi Son is also in special care. This SLNA player also suffered an injury in a friendly match of U.23 Vietnam and has not been able to practice normally with his teammates. However, unlike Hoang Thinh, doctors said that if he recovers well, Phi Son still has a chance to participate in the SEA Games. In addition to Hoang Thinh and Phi Son suffering from serious injuries, Tuan Tai, Ngoc Hai and Phuc Tinh also have problems with their "legs" when they have to strain themselves to meet the physical requirements of Coach Miura.

Strict physical training is a common requirement, but for Nghe An players who are always burning with desire and show it strongly even on the training ground, it is a disadvantage, because the risk of injury can happen at any time. That is the problem that makes fans worried, when Nghe An players, most of them are pillars in U.23 Vietnam and the national team.
