In recent days of V.League, people have seen two opposites. In Binh Duong, the team lost the match, the coach resigned because he " felt ashamed" and "not qualified enough". In Gia Lai, the team lost, the team leaders reacted strongly, and are even said to have gone into the referee's room to give strong criticism.
Emotions are a big part, even indispensable part of football. Fans could cry when their team collapsed, burst into tears when scoring in extra time. Club coaches, players, and leaders have the right to love, hate, be happy or disappointed. But football is not only an emotion, but also a reason, especially when the result is not as expected. So here, football needs more courage.
In the V.League, after each defeat of a team, what is often seen is the reaction from the training cabin, from the stands, even from the club leader. The hints of the referee, the statements deny the opponent's efforts, even pressing acts that exceed the limit - all as a conditional reflex: Losing is to react and loudly.
Previously, loudspeakers could receive sympathy, but now, the act of "scare" sometimes has the opposite effect, negative reactions will be like a sharp sword that stabs oneself. Players are affected, both on the pitch and in their reactions. The audience was frustrated because football was covered by anger. And Vietnamese football is stuck in a process: Losing - blaming - reacting - losing confidence.
People can doubt the referee, can question the operation of the tournament, but cannot blame every failure on a few decisions. Behind a defeat, it could be an incorrect strategy, poor form, or simply a better opponent. Therefore, before demanding perfection from the referee, from the Organizing Committee, perhaps the teams need to learn to face failure. Losing is not a loss. Losing to maturity. The loser still retains kindness...
