V-League and the story of beautiful actions on the field

That has been a “rare” thing for a long time and in the context of round 5 heating up quite unusually with stories at Thien Truong Stadium or Quy Nhon Stadium. Quang Vinh, after committing a foul against his seniors, saw his mistake, proactively asked and apologized right on the field. In response, Van Quyet showed forgiveness, let everything go, and even encouraged his young opponent to “Try your best”!

For a long time, people have often talked about sportsmanship, martial spirit, the importance and significance of ethics in sports activities, especially in competitive sports. Everyone knows that professional sports is about playing honestly, wholeheartedly, and dedicating themselves like the way Xuan Manh and Van Hoang played their best in the match against their hometown team. That is truly respecting the old team, respecting the opponent, and respecting the fans. That is truly a star, a classy player recruited by a powerful team.

Also after Song Lam Nghe An's loss to the Capital team, both Xuan Manh and Van Hoang stayed to meet and chat with their old teammates and did not forget to tell their younger teammates "Try to overcome this difficult period"! This remarkable coincidence is wonderful and is shown by the senior players, the experienced ones and they are currently important factors in the Vietnam National Team in the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign.

In the 4th round of V-League, the match betweenLam River Nghe Anand Quang Nam also left many unforgettable impressions and stories worth telling behind the match of 2 teams that are facing difficulties for many reasons. That is, in the away team, there are important figures who are... Nghe An people, such as head coach Van Sy Son, and famous young striker Nguyen Dinh Bac. Note that the away team scored 4 goals, including 2 goals in the second half when they were behind 4-2, but Van Sy Son and Dinh Bac both "celebrated" in a moderate and appropriate manner, clearly showing respect for their old team and their hometown audience. This "cultural" feature of the old generations of players of Song Lam Nghe An as well as many other teams has long been a daily occurrence and is worth preserving and promoting.

V-League 2023-2024 is passing with an unusual "heat" related to coaches, players and even overexcited spectators. On the one hand, that shows the increasingly high competitiveness of the tournament, on the other hand, it also requires the tournament organizers to seriously handle unsportsmanlike behavior on and off the field to re-establish the tournament order as planned. Of course, in football, it cannot be said that everything is perfect, even VAR makes mistakes, but in fact, it is the mistake of the VAR referee team, or the mistake of the main referee when assessing the situation. Therefore, any negative or excessive reaction of any individual will have a significant impact and influence on the team, even an entire round or tournament.

While praising the beautiful actions on the field such as the "uncle-niece" story between Van Quyet and Quang Vinh, public opinion also expressed disagreement with those responsible for their rash actions, even inciting violence recently.

In an important match where Song Lam Nghe An mainly used young players, the matter of winning or losing in terms of results was of course clear and there was not much to discuss. But football life has things worth talking about when the ball is rolling as well as when the ball stops. Quang Vinh was assigned to play in the position of defensive midfielder, often colliding and receiving cards, even being sent off the field is not uncommon. Quang Vinh colliding with Van Quyet in a match is, after all, normal, and must be accepted. The good thing about a young player, playing as a starter for the first time like Quang Vinh, is that he quickly realizes his mistakes and dares to express his opinions in front of his opponents, his seniors, and his uncles. His lovely innocence is a plus point of this young player. Of course, when the home team is holding a good position, Van Quyet's selflessness is also something precious and worthy of respect, after what he could not do, did not do well in the eyes of the fans before.

Young players of Song Lam Nghe An such as Quang Vinh, Nguyen Hoang, Van Binh... will continue to go through countless challenges, countless difficult situations in the next matches. There will be nothing easy for them ahead, nor will there always be older brothers and uncles to encourage them to "Try hard" like the story of Van Quyet and Quang Vinh. But no matter what the circumstances, beautiful gestures and actions on and off the field must always be encouraged and appreciated. Like the way public opinion has just spoken up in a timely and reasonable manner to praise "uncles and nephews" even for just a small, very small detail in daily life./.
