V-League and the story of the coaches' 'iron fist campaign'

The temporary rankings with the top position belonging to Binh Duong (13 points), the bottom position is Hong Linh Ha Tinh (2 points), while the defending champion Cong An Ha Noi (9 points) is only temporarily ranked 6th out of 14 teams, showing that. Here, the talent of the coaches in commanding and training the troops is a story that many people are interested in, following and cheering for.

First of all, Binh Duong with its strong resources to invest from good players to good coaches, strong personalities is gradually bringing the team back to its original position, after previous difficult seasons. Surely from the leaders of the team to the majority of fans here, everyone agrees and supports head coach Le Huynh Duc on the "iron fist campaign" that he is conducting to bring everything back to the necessary order.

In fact, after the remarkable contributions of striker Tien Linh in Binh Duong and the Vietnam National Team, in recent seasons, Vietnam's number 1 striker is showing signs of overload, loss of form and even "bored" with the ball, satisfied with the results achieved. This forced Huynh Duc to boldly leave Tien Linh on the bench and not hesitate to announce to the media the truth that Tien Linh is going through. It is worth mentioning that even Mr. Philippe Troussier, although still calling Tien Linh up to the national team, did not put him in the starting lineup as usual. The cooperation between the two strategists did not push this number 1 striker to the bottom of disappointment and unnecessary breakdown, on the contrary, showed confidence in his return to peak form, with his inherent class.

Of course, Tien Linh's story is also related to a good foreign player, Rimario, because both are excellent goal scorers. A team cannot have two stars playing in the same position, stepping on each other's toes. Because of the "money and rice bowl" spent, Rimario was of course placed at the highest position, focused on the ball the most to score goals. Of course, from there, Tien Linh had to play in another position, not his forte, far from the opponent's goal, so the goals were also far away. The 2023-2024 season in Binh Duong does not have that story because Rimario has moved, but that does not mean that Tien Linh will naturally regain the starting position. Coach Le Huynh Duc still has high demands on Tien Linh, still puts him on the bench and patiently waits for this star to shine again.

That patience and belief have gradually been rewarded. So far, after 6 rounds, Tien Linh has scored 3 goals and contributed greatly to bringing the team from the land of Thu to the top. The goal that increased the score to 3-2 in the victory over Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in round 6 along with an assist, the goal in the match against Khanh Hoa in round 5 or the goal in the National Cup against Ho Chi Minh City proved that Tien Linh is returning and is as dangerous as before. This joy is not only for Tien Linh and Binh Duong but also for all of Vietnamese football. Now, when the Vietnamese team prepares to participate in the ASIAN Cup, Tien Linh will again be an indispensable factor for the French coach, bringing great confidence to the majority of football fans in the country.

The next story about the “iron hand” involves a young star of Song Lam Nghe An, although the story is different in many ways. Coaching staffLam River Nghe Anwith the necessary professionalism, on the one hand, he was very strict in handling the player's internal discipline violation, even though he was a star in good form and the team always needed his service in difficult circumstances; on the other hand, he did not "speak frankly and honestly" as Huynh Duc said about Tien Linh. Because this is a young player, he cannot "take the hit" like his seniors and above all, he hopes that the player will soon correct his mistakes and practice hard to return to the first team.

For 2 matches, Nghe An fans have been wondering and searching for their young star “where is he, what is he doing” and now the press has finally found the specific reason. The team is proving that everything is still on the right track, even though this star or that star may be absent, a disciplined and united team will know how to overcome all temporary difficulties. Public opinion near and far completely agrees with coach Nhu Thuat and hopes that this young star will soon return in the latest match of Song Lam Nghe An?

Football at home and abroad has experienced big and small stories, meaningful about the necessity of internal discipline with the highest goal of victory for the collective, for the team. The story of Tien Linh, as well as the young star of Song Lam Nghe An, will be a common lesson for all players, to always have the spirit of progress, to put themselves in close connection, and to join the strength of the team. Because for any coach, the "iron hand" is always a sharp weapon in hand and the state of concession and hesitation is similar to the act of "surrender"./.
