Everything has a reason behind it, and although only they know the inside story at Old Trafford, according to analysis from many other angles, the decision only comes when the last straw breaks the camel's back, when endurance exceeds the limit. That is, even in a long period of disappointment before, endurance is still hope.
It's the same for everyone, when there is still hope - even just a little bit, or a little hesitation about the future with the hypothesis "who knows...", the decision will not be made. Until all feelings are closed. To create a release.
The proof of the story at Man United is that with the same players, under the direction of interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, they scored 5 goals in 1 match. 5 is almost the same number of goals that Ten Hag's "Red Devils" scored in the previous 8 matches (8 goals), even defensive midfielder Casemiro scored a double.
Of course, one match doesn’t say much, but the feeling of “liberation” lies in the fact that the players seem to be liberated, to release all the suppressed and suppressed energy in the previous stage. Is it for no reason that after Ten Hag left, his “excessive discipline” became more public!?
Playing football with ease and joy is always different, especially in big teams with big, great, world-class players. But the story of liberation and release can be true anywhere.
Hoang Duc did not have much playing time in the last months at The Cong Viettel, which affected his performance. At the new team, he immediately scored a goal. And like Van Lam or Cong Phuong, the mark is the release of some financial pressure when leaving V.League to play in the First Division.
Or for the Vietnamese team, psychological liberation is really important if they want to improve. Former coach Philippe Troussier really wanted to create that liberation through playing style, but failed. His successor Kim Sang-sik brought Vietnamese football back to the old concept - that it is only suitable for defense and counter-attack. But until now, after several months, he still cannot "untie" the stars.
Remember, a good leader knows how to inspire, touch the hearts and spirits of the audience, to release energy and promote the strength of each individual.
