Tien Linh has made personal efforts in training, as have many other players, but it is still not enough. In the story of Vietnamese sports in general and football in particular, going abroad to upgrade and develop oneself is still a painful problem for experts.
Before the Tet holiday, striker Nguyen Tuan Hai shared his desire to play abroad and improve himself. Talking about determination and professionalism in living and training, Tuan Hai is one of the highly rated domestic players. However, if there is a real opportunity to go abroad, are determination and professionalism enough to succeed?
After the lessons learned from colleagues and teammates who went before, it can be seen that there is no lack of determination, and also professional readiness. But the common denominator is to return in failure. Looking more broadly at other sports that also have overseas factors such as women's volleyball, most of the results are not favorable. The question is, how and what is needed to solve the problem, find the right answer instead of filling in the common denominator?
Here, the issue is not simply focusing on professional development or determination is just words. Mental and spiritual training is an extremely important factor, especially for players who start from a low football background and want to develop in a stronger football background. To have that, the environment and companionship are necessary, possibly requiring a psychologist, at the same time, the player himself must listen, read, and practice to have the courage and steadfastness in the face of pressure and difficulties...
With Vietnamese football, Vietnamese players, the matter of psychology - from life to training, competition - is still not taken seriously, so it can be seen that, many times, before opportunities, decisive moments, the unstable spirit leads to failure, collapse. Not to mention many players cannot resist the negative temptations of society, of life.
So, talking about development and self-improvement is not only about professional aspects but also about psychological factors, spirit, thinking, and courage, to be steadfast anywhere, in any circumstance.
