Daniel Passira is a name that has been mentioned a lot in recent days. Hanoi FC's rookie had an ineffective match, missing 3 good opportunities when facing Song Lam Nghe An in round 12 of V. League 2024-2025. That was the 28-year-old striker's third match in Vietnam and the capital team lost 2 of those 3 matches. Almost immediately, the Brazilian player fell into a spiral of doubt, to the point of laughter and criticism what happened against Song Lam Nghe An.
2 days after the match, exactly 1 month since Passira's debut, Hanoi FC posted a video about more than 10 minutes, in which Van Quyet gave Passira encouragement before entering the second half. The Hanoi FC captain used the words "fighting" and "determination" to urge Passira, before calling on his teammates to "support" his new teammates.
Hanoi FC scored 2 more goals in the second half, but Passira's name did not appear on the scoreboard, despite his teammates' efforts to "sup- common". The title of Top Scorer of the 2024 National Championship was used as a laughing stock - in fact, he was not the Top Scorer but the player with the most goals2) when adding up both stages of the 2024 season (the most goals scored in each stage belonged to 2 other players).
The number of goals he scored in Bolivia is not important, what is needed to say is that in Passira's situation, Van Quyet understands that his teammates need encouragement and support instead of criticism and defamation as expressed by the media as well as quite a lot of people. What can be required from a new player who has only been in the environment for 1 month, cannot speak, listen, understand English, and the competition schedule has been interrupted?
It can also be seen that former coaches Le Duc Tuan and Hoang Van Phuc currently seem to be a bit hasty in using Passira in the context of having to get acquainted. Then, even though all 3 matches were in the starting lineup, the playing time gradually decreased and was ineffective, while the pressure should have been reduced by being put on the field from the bench and the time on the field gradually increased...
And the Brazilian rookie is being "supported" rather than "supported", along with much greater pressure to overcome in the coming time.
