Therefore, the U23 Vietnam team is not too surprised if it is criticized a lot, because the numbers do not lie. Many older fans must understand the feeling of watching football in the past " thich" it more than now, because of many emotions, many good players, inspiring with a move, a smart ball. It is not saying that current players are not smart, but on the contrary, they are even better, smarter, but the development speed of football makes intelligence forced to be limited, rarely having the opportunity to show it.
But it must also be said that, somewhere, coaches still only focus on tactics and physical strength, forgetting the intelligence and thinking part in the competition. Therefore, players often only know how to run according to instructions, run by machines, meaning they are just playing in a play without having their own script. As a result, the team lost the surprise - the most important factor in the competition.
Emotional intelligence is also a form of intelligence, but all intelligence is not a "rich" element. Smart people also need to practice. For example, tennis or pickleball, it is necessary to have an emotional intelligence to control oneself, control opponents, and control the setting. Smart, in a profound sense, is the ability to adapt, be flexible and find the right solution in each specific situation.
Do other direct combat sports such as martial arts and physical education need to be smart? It is necessary to be on the other side, because it is smart to " read" the opponent's blow, choose to deal with and counterattack. Then create fake space, punch, change the tempo, regulate physical strength, change tactics...
Even high school sports such as running, cycling, motorbike racing, F1 ... need smart choices. Therefore, now we need both training in thinking and training in intelligence.
