Cold rain and gusty wind tested Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students in the first training session in a foreign country

Not only suffered difficulties and limitations due to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic, teachers and coaches Park Hang-seo also had to face another challenge from the weather, when the cold rain lasted long with gusty winds. caused the team’s training session to end earlier than planned.

The results of the RT-PCR test at the airport gave Coach Park Hang-seo peace of mind when all the players were negative for Covid-19. However, the fact that the language assistant Le Huy Khoa tested positive for Covid-19 and was quarantined for at least 7 days according to the Japanese Government’s epidemic prevention regulations forced Coach Park Hang-seo to change. communication method to convey information to students. Fortunately, most of the players have spent a long time working with Coach Park Hang-seo, plus football’s own language, so communication on the training ground is not too difficult. towel. However, at upcoming professional meetings, Coach Park Hang-seo will still need the support of assistant Le Huy Khoa through a “video call” connection.

Also related to Covid-19, the host BTC has applied very strict principles to ensure disease prevention. In addition to forcing all team members to operate in an absolute “closed bubble”, the measure of tracing and ungrouping identified cases of close contact with F0 is also implemented in a systematic way. thoroughly. Accordingly, based on the seat position on the plane and through verification by means of information collection (assistant Le Huy Khoa had to answer many questions from the host country’s health department about the schedule of activities in the host country). , in contact in the past few days), the members identified as F1 in the team (15 members) have been separated from the group to continue to monitor their health status. During this time, the team’s F1 team is provided with their own transportation and separate dining area. F1’s elevator use is also not at the same time as the rest of the members. At the training ground, the two groups were arranged with two different changing rooms, but still practiced together normally on the training ground. These strict epidemic prevention regulations have been applied during the pandemic outbreak on a worldwide scale.

Back to the training session this afternoon, Coach Park Hang-seo gave priority to free exercise with the ball. The goal is to help the players regain their excitement and relax their muscles after the long journey from Vietnam to Japan. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam also integrated with the exercises with 2 teammates in the position of defending the goal, Nguyen Manh and Tan Truong.

However, the first training session of the team was not as complete as expected. After the warm-up content, it rained heavily with low temperatures and strong gusts of wind, making it difficult for the players to control the ball. Concerned that the players’ health might be affected in such adverse weather conditions, Coach Park Hang-seo decided to blow the whistle to collect troops when the new training session had passed less than 50 minutes.

According to the weather forecast, tomorrow the chance of rain is still quite high at 60%. However, due to the important nature of the training session, it is certain that Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students will have to work hard to get the best preparation for the match against Japan, which will take place on March 29. .
