00:00:12.890 --> 00:00:15.451 
Ladies and gentlemen, the 2025 Cuc Cau
Lac Bo Youth Football Tournament has 

00:00:15.451 --> 00:00:17.816 
ended with the championship belonging to
the women's information army team and 

00:00:17.816 --> 00:00:19.590 
the men's volleyball team of the new port city. 

00:00:19.930 --> 00:00:23.456 
This week's sports perspective will have
a conversation with coach Vu Van Duan to 

00:00:23.456 --> 00:00:26.730 
analyze the professional story as well
as the youth training of Vietnamese football. 

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:28.310 
Morning to coach Vu Van Duan! 

00:00:28.583 --> 00:00:31.603 
chào Huyen Linh and to the
audience of Lao Dong Newspaper. 

00:00:32.903 --> 00:00:36.176 
Vietnam Youth Football has just finished
the 2025 National Club Championship, how 

00:00:36.176 --> 00:00:38.903 
do you evaluate the expertise
of the teams this year? 

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:44.462 
As I observe and also follow this youth
tournament, the quality of expertise as 

00:00:44.462 --> 00:00:48.150 
well as the strength of the youth teams
compared to last year 

00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:49.380 
have not changed much. 

00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:55.356 
And the teams have not changed their
personnel too much compared to 

00:00:55.356 --> 00:00:56.660 
last year's tournament. 

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:00.277 
Only the change is between the
relegation zone and the 

00:01:00.277 --> 00:01:01.580 
relegation zone this year. 

00:01:02.772 --> 00:01:06.072 
Of course, football is a sport that
receives a lot of attention from society. 

00:01:06.332 --> 00:01:09.862 
In your opinion, what role do youth
football tournaments play in the 

00:01:09.862 --> 00:01:11.332 
overall development of Vietnamese football? 

00:01:12.391 --> 00:01:15.871 
Actually, I will give my personal
opinion on this question. 

00:01:16.471 --> 00:01:23.638 
well, from my personal point of view,
football passing on to young people is a 

00:01:23.638 --> 00:01:25.071 
very important age 

00:01:25.071 --> 00:01:29.171 
and a perspective that if maintained, it
would be very important for Vietnamese football 

00:01:29.171 --> 00:01:35.832 
because you are the next generation for
the athletes of the seniors and seniors 

00:01:35.832 --> 00:01:38.211 
competing in the national championship 

00:01:38.211 --> 00:01:41.931 
and is also the next generation
of each club. 

00:01:42.391 --> 00:01:46.673 
That is why for me, the ball passed to
the youth team is 

00:01:46.673 --> 00:01:47.991 
probably a great concern 

00:01:47.991 --> 00:01:51.271 
and is a very important force for clubs. 

00:01:52.283 --> 00:01:55.963 
Of course, this time we are not
mentioning a specific case, but from a 

00:01:55.963 --> 00:01:59.643 
professional perspective, do you see
that the selection of young athletes is facing difficulties? 

00:02:00.704 --> 00:02:07.944 
At present, with a developed economy and
in recent years, 

00:02:08.384 --> 00:02:11.844 
when social media technology is also
exploding, I find it 

00:02:11.844 --> 00:02:15.144 
recruiting young athletes for clubs 

00:02:15.144 --> 00:02:20.244 
are in a very difficult situation
for some clubs. 

00:02:20.884 --> 00:02:26.744 
Only a few clubs have maintained the
first thing is about the economy, 

00:02:27.124 --> 00:02:30.004 
second is about the width of
the shoes, expertise, and achievements. 

00:02:30.004 --> 00:02:34.124 
So it is possible that public and for
men and women with information 

00:02:34.124 --> 00:02:38.544 
I see that there are still quality young
athletes being recruited. 

00:02:38.984 --> 00:02:42.744 
The rest, I see that other teams
are facing many difficulties 

00:02:42.744 --> 00:02:44.264 
in the selection of athletes. 

00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:49.167 
So where do these difficulties come
from? You can give more specific 

00:02:49.167 --> 00:02:51.140 
analysis of where they come from? 

00:02:51.970 --> 00:02:57.213 
If it is easy, I think from my personal
point of view it comes 

00:02:57.213 --> 00:02:58.710 
from many different sources. 

00:02:59.650 --> 00:03:05.930 
Firstly, at present, football is a very
developed sport. 

00:03:05.930 --> 00:03:12.234 
However, they are practicing and
currently the income as well as the 

00:03:12.234 --> 00:03:15.910 
things you trade for
are not commensurate. 

00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:20.189 
That is why parents have also approached
social networks and have 

00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:21.570 
also seen this perspective. 

00:03:22.190 --> 00:03:27.245 
And they also have some problems with
letting their children learn talented 

00:03:27.245 --> 00:03:28.930 
skills in military schools. 

00:03:29.350 --> 00:03:36.579 
And secondly, in the process of them
being away from home now, their current 

00:03:36.579 --> 00:03:40.710 
economic conditions are not the
same as before. 

00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:46.930 
And that is also one reason why teams
have difficulty recruiting athletes. 

00:03:47.990 --> 00:03:51.930 
And another deep reason is that... 

00:03:51.970 --> 00:03:59.223 
Regarding training equipment as well as
training costs, accommodation for 

00:03:59.223 --> 00:04:05.750 
current facilities, it is not yet
meeting your expectations. 

00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:11.225 
So I think that is also one of the basic
reasons and there are a 

00:04:11.225 --> 00:04:12.610 
number of other reasons. 

00:04:13.350 --> 00:04:17.580 
But I think those are the basic reasons
why the work of recruiting young 

00:04:17.580 --> 00:04:19.090 
athletes is now facing difficulties. 

00:04:20.075 --> 00:04:23.284 
It is known that he has also
participated in organizing many 

00:04:23.284 --> 00:04:25.035 
grassroots football tournaments in the locality. 

00:04:25.355 --> 00:04:28.535 
So from here, can we find more young
players to develop our expertise? 

00:04:29.761 --> 00:04:33.341 
Current grassroots tournaments are
developing very well in Vietnam. 

00:04:34.161 --> 00:04:41.031 
And I think this is also an information
channel, as well as a very good 

00:04:41.031 --> 00:04:43.321 
environment to develop young talents, 

00:04:43.761 --> 00:04:46.421 
as well as young athletes for clubs. 

00:04:47.021 --> 00:04:51.661 
However, in the current movement
and professional football, 

00:04:51.861 --> 00:04:56.661 
it is having a very distant part of the
painting when it comes to professional qualifications, 

00:04:56.661 --> 00:05:02.096 
that is, basic techniques, as well as
competition rules, people are not 

00:05:02.096 --> 00:05:04.361 
familiar with them at all. 

00:05:04.821 --> 00:05:09.381 
Therefore, it is also a premise
to find athletes. 

00:05:09.781 --> 00:05:14.968 
However, it will also need to be
enhanced to make the knowledge of the 

00:05:14.968 --> 00:05:16.821 
profession and the movement equal. 

00:05:17.161 --> 00:05:21.001 
I think that is the prerequisite
to find quality athletes. 

00:05:21.820 --> 00:05:27.200 
Of course, all men's and women's teams
in Vietnam are training young athletes. 

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.123 
However, Vietnamese football is still
very lacking in truly outstanding young 

00:05:30.123 --> 00:05:31.520 
faces in the past 3 years. 

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:33.320 
So how do you evaluate this? 

00:05:34.814 --> 00:05:41.245 
In fact, if this were to be done from a
personal perspective, I would think that 

00:05:41.245 --> 00:05:46.068 
from our perspective, in our Vietnam,
you would have access to the 

00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:47.274 
ball relatively late. 

00:05:47.494 --> 00:05:48.734 
Because this is the main cause. 

00:05:49.314 --> 00:05:54.012 
Therefore, during the training process,
clubs often recruit athletes from grade 

00:05:54.012 --> 00:05:56.574 
8 or grade 9 or higher. 

00:05:57.174 --> 00:05:58.594 
Some students even have gone to grade 10. 

00:05:59.394 --> 00:06:03.174 
well this is also a relatively short
period of time for you to exercise. 

00:06:03.174 --> 00:06:08.754 
And by the end of 2 years, by the end of
12, you had to compete in youth clubs. 

00:06:09.414 --> 00:06:14.269 
But if they cannot develop, they will
almost reach the age of 23 and the 

00:06:14.269 --> 00:06:16.534 
threshold will be gone for young athletes. 

00:06:17.014 --> 00:06:24.130 
And this is the factor I think it will
partly cause many difficulties for the 

00:06:24.130 --> 00:06:28.874 
work of passing the ball to find
potential young athletes. 

00:06:29.843 --> 00:06:33.868 
Yes, so should the Vietnam Volleyball
Federation's page consider building a 

00:06:33.868 --> 00:06:36.063 
training center for young players, sir? 

00:06:37.201 --> 00:06:43.148 
From my personal perspective, I think
that is probably a very personal story 

00:06:43.148 --> 00:06:44.521 
of the federation. 

00:06:45.221 --> 00:06:49.631 
And if the federation participates in
such a training work, what will 

00:06:49.631 --> 00:06:51.101 
the clubs be like? 

00:06:51.381 --> 00:06:57.360 
I think that if this is a question, it
is very difficult to give 

00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.641 
an accurate answer. 

00:06:59.641 --> 00:07:02.841 
And this is why the federation
is also an organizer. 

00:07:02.841 --> 00:07:10.261 
And if the federation invites a training
center, I think it is a bit confused. 

00:07:11.204 --> 00:07:14.144 
Yes, I would like to thank Coach Phu
Van Duan for his recent sharing. 

00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:17.184 
Ladies and gentlemen, here are
recent analysis of professional stories 

00:07:17.184 --> 00:07:19.404 
as well as youth training of Vietnamese football. 

00:07:19.724 --> 00:07:21.344 
The time for the program has now run out. 

00:07:21.644 --> 00:07:24.284 
See you again in the next sports perspective programs.
