An excuse is when people try to convince with arguments that sound right, but in fact wrong or dismiss the nature of the problem. People understand it as an emphasis on the fact that the Vietnamese team lost to "cingalized" Malaysia, not "pure" Malaysia.
It can be a joke to make people laugh and increase interaction on social networks, but the hidden message behind it shows helplessness wrapped in resentment. Forgetting (or deliberately forgetting), they were surprised when they won the ASEAN Cup with 50% of the team's goals scored by Nguyen Xuan Son - a Brazilian! ?
The familiar scenario - winning "explodes", losing the excuse - still happens like the sun rising every day, so there are no surprises in the appeals to fire coach Kim Sang-sik. But instead of blaming him, remember: He helped the Southeast Asian Stars beat Manchester United - just a few days into the training camp. The same coach, 2 opposite results. Where is the difference, if not the quality of the players?
Among many excuses, many comments, the most painful must be "the person with the strength to lose is sad, if you don't have the strength, why be sad". If so, what do we expect from top-flight football? Look straight at the truth about the power of Vietnamese football and answer honestly...
It will not be "tail-throwing" in the way of "if we continue to believe in Mr. Philippe Troussier, the team's performance may have improved at this time", because that is also an excuse. nor do we compare the directions to get or lose anything, but here, everything is just looking straight at the truth of the present - not the past, into ourselves - not the opponent, to act decisively, with a steadfast attitude and a patient mindset.
And don't be surprised if there are big wins against Nepal and Laos. Because winning without knowing where you are is more dangerous than losing.
