There was a very quick moment that appeared on television in the match between the Vietnamese national team and the Singaporean national team at My Dinh Stadium on July 31st, but it will be saved for a very long time. That is the expression of coach Kim Sang-sik for Dinh Bac when he replaced this young player with Tai Loc in the 40th minute.
After the match, the Korean coach explained that he decided that when the 21-year-old striker "did not meet the requirements". There are many ways to understand "not meeting the requirements", but when Dinh Bac himself also admitted that he did not perform well, let's ignore that to return to coach Kim's expression - which those who are observant can also see dissatisfaction and a little annoyance.
This seems to be something coach Kim has not learned from his compatriot Park Hang-seo - who can react like a volcano to the opponent but almost never reveals an uncomfortable attitude towards his students on his face. The times of scolding, shouting loudly on the training ground or during competition are not that attitude.
A general going to battle, one of the most important things is that even if there is any inner turmoil in emotions, it is still necessary to maintain a calm appearance. It keeps the morale of the army stable, maintains the spirit, while the opponent also has to spend effort "decoding".
Dinh Bac himself still has to learn to grow up, but the moment of "swimming past the coach" on the way off the field also partly explains the meaning of the above saying.
Looking at life, from within the family to the agency or any relationship, facial expressions are the most obvious, the most easily perceived thing, and the result is joy, sadness, stress in the environment, in relationships.
Maintaining calmness is not enduring difficulties, pressures or unexpected things, but a bravery that has been trained.
