SLNA and the story of good students and good soccer players
(Baonghean.vn) - The fact that SLNA training center is gradually regaining its inherent position as a leading youth training center in the country is certainly part of the general upward trajectory of Vietnamese football, and at the same time helps this place clearly recognize the shortcomings that need to be fundamentally and systematically overcome.
One of the first basic things is to ensure food, accommodation, living conditions, study, treatment, injury recovery... which has been thoroughly implemented by the leaders of Song Lam Sports Joint Stock Company, bringing confidence to the families and students themselves, and more importantly, the confidence of society not only in training but also in operating a professional apparatus of the Club.

The timely examination and treatment of injuries for young talents like Cai Van Quy or Tran Van Cuong U17 recently is a small, regular but meaningful action that has been recognized by many people. A promising player like Cai Van Quy needs to be carefully cared for and must put in a lot of effort in order to hope to have excellent strikers like his seniors Cong Vinh and Van Quyen in the future.
SLNA fans remember the club creating conditions for players to complete their studies and graduation exams well. There were matches where in the first half, players were still in the exam room, in the second half, they finished the exam and immediately ran back to be in the lineup. That is the example of seniors not only in sports but also in the field of cultural studies such as Huy Hoang, Trong Hoang, Nhu Thuat...

Obviously, creating conditions for student-athletes to both "swallow" the training curriculum and ensure the completion of their cultural studies is a job that requires science and perseverance, in which the personal awareness of each player holds the most important position...
In addition to the individual’s will to improve, of course, there needs to be the attention of family and society. It is no coincidence that at the annual Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth and Children Football Tournament as well as many other competitions, there is a category to reward and encourage players who “study well and play football well”.
Family, school, and society creating favorable learning conditions for players will help them have good awareness and thinking, have the right actions in training, living and competing, always know how to handle situations quickly and smoothly in confrontational situations, "hot spots" on the field as well as in daily life...
Life is always moving and progressing, there are good things to learn and promote, but there are also bad things that if you do not have the awareness to prevent, it is very easy to encounter unfortunate events. A concentrated living environment, far from family, in the context of unpredictable information chaos, negative influences from the outside... can very likely affect the learning and training process of players and students.
I think, when Vietnamese football is growing strongly and SLNA is gradually realizing its ambition to regain its glory as fans wish, the job of taking care of all aspects of the players, in addition to SLNA's leadership as the main force, the core, needs the support of family and society, so that each player-student always has high awareness, acts well in all aspects of life, not only aiming for immediate performance but also for the future and future career.,.
