Finances are certainly the most concerned issue or to be exact, the most controversial issue when talking about foreign players. Not being optimistic, but it is necessary to reiterate that the result of that encroachment is due to the way Vietnamese football has been doing things for many years, one of which is too lacking in dynamism and flexibility in transfer activities.
Although it is only an aspect of "making money" for Vietnamese football, when the transfer market does not create a cash flow, many clubs are still worried, turning around the annual operating budget, but there is no fund for player purchases! ?
The comparison is boring, but looking at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at the moment - ranked 2nd
3 on the rankings, which were not in the tycoon group. Of course, Nottingham has a Greek owner, but compared to the owners from the US, they are still considered a "poor house". But the problem is, they have been finding the right value from the "poor household level".
Their squad does not have big stars, even just a "waste" from other clubs, only 1 person receives a salary higher than 100,000 pounds/week (the lowest is 5,000 pounds/week) but why are they successful? Because they find a common voice in their desire for success of the team, at the same time to affirm, enhance their own value, and open up career opportunities for the bigger team.
Returning to Vietnamese football, although we know that players also work under labor contracts, what is the value of their gifts? How much desire? Do the teams share the same will or not? No matter what, players are in the middle of a not-so-bad income world to complain about life. If it is difficult, we must try harder to get the attention of other clubs.
Or how much is the recruitment of foreign players, the stature, the budget, looking for players at the same level or a little higher, from there going up step by step instead of trying to break through with a certain star. Everything needs to create a solid foundation, then build and develop.
And importantly, when the whole team plays with desire, there is no reason for fans not to care, share, and accompany. And from there, the money came...
