Or “forced to win”, when the board of directors still did not decide to fire coach Erik ten Hag. Strangely, Man United still follows a process that netizens have “drawn” many times: Disappointing, Ten Hag faces danger, his students rescue, pressure reduces, then return to disappointment…
The rotations are very familiar in the 2 years the Dutch coach has been in charge. And Ten Hag also repeated the same familiar statement. After the draw (3-3) at Porto in the Europa League, the 54-year-old coach affirmed that the "Red Devils" are still on the right track, the fans' job is to be patient and wait for the answer at the end of the season.
I don't know if Ten Hag understands the feelings of Manucians, but with each turn like that, the disappointment increases exponentially. Are they so fed up that they don't even bother to ask for Ten Hag's dismissal anymore, just let it be? As Ten Hag said, Manucians can ignore their team's matches, temporarily pay attention to other teams, just wait until the end of the season, come back to share the joy of reaching a cup final, or better yet, bring home a cup?
If Ten Hag were to take the position of coach of the Vietnam National Team, he would not be so lucky. Mr. Philippe Troussier feels this most clearly and currently, coach Kim Sang-sik is also gradually feeling the pressure.
The Korean strategist has not reached the point where he has to use the “magic spell” about patience and direction of the Vietnamese team, but if the FIFA Days in October are not good, the ASEAN Championship is not good, he will be put in that situation. Many Vietnamese fans, even among them are Manucians, are not patient enough, and do not care whether they are going in the right direction or not.
Just win - as Mr. Park Hang-seo said, everything will be solved. Winning all the lower teams in the region is also fun, no need to upgrade or raise the level. So there is no knowing when we will "escape" the trouble like Man United.
