Wishing for it, wishing for it

The V.League team was rejected from proposing that the head coach not attend the press conference, but somehow, they were still satisfied.

Of course, in a somewhat unhappy way, when the captain of the team received a 4-match ban, meaning 50% of the remaining matches of the 2025-2026 season. It can also be called a type of "aspiration, desire" if speaking from the perspective that if you want something, the universe will join forces to help. However, in terms of human psychology, it is like a form of "reverse logic", the more you want to avoid, the more you encounter, the more you worry, the more it happens.

With the personality of the coach, instead of dialogue to find solutions, the team wants to minimize risks by limiting appearances in front of the media, avoiding impulsive statements. Not receiving agreement, the personality remains the same, even exploding stronger, so that in the end it is true that there is no need to attend press conferences but in a way that is not worthy of pride at all.

Psychology has a phenomenon called the "white bear effect", associated with Daniel Wegner's experiment. When you are asked "don't think about a white bear", the first thing that appears in your head... is the white bear. Just like the team and the coach don't want trouble, but focusing too much on "avoiding trouble" inadvertently makes trouble the center of thought. Or like Xuan Son for example, he says he doesn't care if people talk about his weight, but the way he celebrates a goal shows the opposite...

From another perspective, it can also be called "the law of attraction". This concept is popular thanks to The Secret, where everything is interpreted quite simply: Focusing on positive thinking will receive positive things. And the same goes for negative thinking. But sometimes, the consequences are also due to how people program their behavior. When you believe that something can happen, your behavior will gradually change in a direction that makes it easier to happen.

So, the problem is not what you wish for, but how to keep your mind. If the whole day is only about "avoiding mistakes", you are nurturing that mistake. Conversely, when focusing on "doing the right thing", the picture will be different.

As for "wanting to get, wishing to see" like the team in the V.League, it is indeed a bit bitter.
