If I had to say goodbye, Quang Hai would have had the most beautiful farewell with elected Hien
Messi is a dog
Seven years ago, on the occasion of Messi’s 28th birthday, Argentine sports journalist Hernán Casciari wrote an article about Messi with the shocking title: “Messi is a Dog“- Messi is a dog.
In the article that took about 7 minutes to read from beginning to end, this journalist explained why he called Messi a dog:
“When I was a kid, I had a dog named Totin. It is not a wise dog whatsoever. If a thief comes into the house and carries the TV, he will just sit and watch, if people ring the doorbell, he won’t budge, if I have a near-death illness, he doesn’t care.
Yet when someone (like my mother, my sister used to do) picked up the sponge, Totin went crazy. He wanted that yellow sponge more than anything in the world. He always wanted to bring that sponge to bed with him. I picked up the sponge and its eyes were glued to it. I switched from hand to hand, its eyes always following, not ignoring any movement.
Totin’s neck moved with the sponge in my hand, his eyes shining with intelligence and passion. It’s like Messi’s eyes when he sees the ball. For a moment, you will have the feeling that it is the focused gaze of Sherlock Holmes.
I discovered while watching the other video: Messi is a dog, a dog that plays football – please don’t take this in an insulting sense. Because the dog doesn’t know how to fake pain, it doesn’t complain to the umpire how the cat got rid of it, it doesn’t wait for the yellow card to be shown. In the beginning, people played football that way. They chase the ball and don’t care about anything else: no yellow cards, no tactical positions, no suspensions, no away goals rule. Before that, everyone played like Messi and Totin“.
The “other tape” that Hernán Casciari mentioned right above, is a clip recording hundreds of fouls that Messi must receive, each 2-3 seconds long. With Hernán Casciari, “The great thing is that in those hundreds of balls, Messi didn’t fall, he didn’t complain, he didn’t ask for a free kick. Eyes fixed on the ball, he tried to keep his balance and continued running. Splits, pulls, hugs, shoulders, kicks, all sorts of ways to stop Messi. To my astonishment I noticed a common feature in these images, forcing me to replay each phase: Messi’s eyes never left the ball.“.
If it’s a farewell, this is the best goodbye
More than 4 years ago, the writer had the opportunity to talk with Quang Hai’s mother, right before the semi-final match of the 2018 AFC U23 Championship. The mother told that when her son turned professional for Hanoi club, every day On Tet holiday, he went home to his mother again. In early spring, the football field in front of his house will organize the commune’s football tournament. Hai’s friends, born in 1997, will call him to stone. But Hai could not kick, because of the team’s rules, and his mother was afraid of injury.
At that time, when the matches were played, Hai’s mother told him that he was always restless. I didn’t go out to the yard to watch, but every now and then I would stand at the gate to wait, then retreat back into the house to sigh. Finally, unable to stand it, Hai went to his room to pack his clothes, and then went to the team early.
For Quang Hai, the ball is like the yellow sponge of the dog Totin mentioned by Hernán Casciari. Like Messi, what brings infinite joy to Quang Hai is playing football.
Yesterday, amidst all the chaos, there were rumors about his “go or stay”, when he was thrown into the field to “save” the Hanoi club, Quang Hai’s footsteps showed no signs of being heavy because of pressure. pressing force. The running steps of the brightest star in Vietnamese football are still diligent, quick, full of magic as usual. Just look at Hai’s cross-slot pass to Van Quyet.
Quang Hai’s goal to win the Hanoi club last night was a strange goal. It is because it seems that the Thanh Hoa East Asian players do not bother to accompany this midfielder even though he is waiting in their penalty area. Because everyone thought in that situation, Hai was forced to catch the ball with one touch from Van Quyet’s pass, and the angle was very narrow. At that time, it was enough to come in.
But unfortunately for the away team, it was a super kick. An extremely emotional connection kick, tossing his foot in the same direction as the ball to launch a dangerous shot to put the ball “threaded” on the opponent’s goalkeeper, while the defender had not yet had time to block.
Only a pair of feet that are not “stoned” by the calculations to move in, large amounts of money when walking, when staying, a gaze that only follows the ball, regardless of what lies outside the field to create a new look. Such a surprising and satisfying goal.
Today, Hanoi FC could have won with other goals if Van Quyet was not offside in the situation where the ball was put into the net but was caught offside, or the foreign soldiers of the capital’s football team were not seriously injured by his assistant. The flag is flagged for offside. But they won with the right goal of Quang Hai. Europe is also destiny.
More than 4 years ago, the writer asked Quang Hai’s father about the reason why his son refused HAGL Academy to join the Hanoi Club – even though he had been to Gia Lai for a “trial”, Mr. Thuan – Hai’s father. , brief explanation: “Stone in Hanoi is close to home, and he is familiar with teachers and friends, so he doesn’t want to leave“.
But the real reason, perhaps, lies in the words Quang Hai said to his adoptive mother:Mom, 90% of me stay in the team because my teacher told me before: ‘Hai, are you really going to leave me?’. Because I heard you say that to me, I thought too much about it, and I decided not to join HAGL anymore. I don’t know how long I will stay under your guidance, but when I heard you say that, I faltered and decided not to go. As long as I have passion and grace with the ball, I will be able to promote it wherever I go“.
The teacher that Quang Hai mentioned in his confession to his adoptive mother was Coach Vu Minh Hoang – Quang Hai’s first teacher, also his adoptive father. was the one who gave him the national team shirt number 23 since he was a little boy, unable to put on a baggy shirt, with the hope of one day adopting a child – the student he loved so much. put on the Vietnam national team shirt.
That shirt was originally given to his brother by former national player Vu Minh Hieu – a famous former midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club.
At the 2018 Asian U23 Championship, right after the historic victory against U23 Australia, Quang Hai posted on his social media account two photos of him kneeling on the grass, raising his arms to the sky to celebrate the goal and playing. cried in the congratulatory arms of his teammates with the words: “Up there, I believe you will be very proud!!! I will continue to work hard…!“.
That line, Quang Hai dedicated to his teacher – his adoptive father. He passed away 6 years ago because of an accident, unable to witness with his own eyes the day Quang Hai brought glory to the country.
Hanoi Club is not only a football team that Quang Hai is attached to, but also a very passionate emotional part. The first teacher once kept Quang Hai for the capital team, but he was also the one who wished for his adopted son to play football to satisfy his passion, to reach the heights, to bring glory. light for the Fatherland.
Going or staying, Quang Hai has his reasons, because of his passion, because of his dedication, because of his affection for the people he loves. So why put the burden on the shoulders of “puppy” Quang Hai?
