Spanish football is famous for being the birthplace of legends, with famous training centers such as La Masia or Real Madrid Castilla. Therefore, the handshake is understood to be a big boost for Vietnamese football.
After the Vietnam La Liga Academy is located in Ho Chi Minh City, the orientation of opening 1-2 more academies in the Northern region is good news. However, the story is, studying La Liga is not only learning how to play beautiful football, but also learning how to make football out of the blue.
La Liga is not the richest tournament in Europe, but it is home to many of the most talented technical players. That is because they know how to invest properly in youth education: From lesson plans, nutrition, to the way of life of a child who is oriented to follow a professional path.
Meanwhile, with Vietnamese football, although called a "youth training center", many places are lacking in many things, from facilities to personnel in all aspects. As a result, many young people play football with instinct, grow up with determination and break the burden right before they know what professional football is all about.
It needs to be affirmed that La Liga will not turn Vietnamese players into Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez or Sergio Ramos... but they bring them in a professional way. expertise is one thing, but the same important thing is Academy governance, monitoring physical and psychological development of age. Even a coaching course for a young coach can change the way a team thinks and plays.
Those are things Vietnamese football needs to learn. During this period, VFF promoted international cooperation - including La Liga, so it must be considered an opportunity to change thinking, not formal cooperation. So when studying, you need to study to the end, learn the best, from the smallest things, learn how to operate a practice ground every day, or more difficultly, how to teach a child to accept failure...
