Advance and back
In January 2022, the Vietnamese women's team came to India to attend the Asian Cup 2022 in a tricky situation. A series of Cover-19 cases appeared in the team, making many pillars unable to play as desired. Coach Mai Duc Chung thought of the scene to give up, when there was only a few healthy players in his hands. But in the end, it was just a little thought in Mr. Chung's head “girl”.
In the midst of that difficulty, the Vietnamese women's team not only passed the group stage of the Asian Championship. They even made a miracle participating in the World Cup thanks to the winning in the play-off series. Two victories against Taipei China and Thailand have brought Vietnamese women's football to reach the world, a miracle no one dares to think about before the opening day.
It must be added that the miracle to win tickets for the World Cup of the Vietnamese women's team was carried out on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. Girls wearing shorts of shorts must forget the days of celebrating Tet with family and relatives to fulfill their national obligations. In the most difficult circumstances, they always head forward and the spirit never gave up.
“Never Give Up” must also be what the Vietnamese women's team members think about before the World Cup 2023 officially started. In the first step of the world, Huynh Nhu and his teammates immediately fell into the group … no one wanted to receive. The first opponent of the Vietnamese women's team is the defending champion. Another team in the same table is the Dutch runner -up.
Which script is waiting for the Vietnamese women's team? Many people thought of a failure with a big gap on the day of the launch, because 4 years ago, the US used to overwhelm Thailand until 13-0. The same thing can come to the Vietnamese team, but that prospect is not the reason for the players to quit responsibility. They are still ready to play with the national obligations on their shoulders.
From a certain perspective, being ready to face a stronger opponent is a success. It is no coincidence that many sports tournaments choose Queens's We Are The Champions to play. Because “we are all the champions” and “we will continue to fight until the last moment”, just like the lyrics with the sound of Freddie Mercury thrown in the ear.
Hanoi athlete gave up after going to the radio
But perhaps not everyone is willing to cope like the girls of the Vietnamese women's team. Within the framework of the National Boxing Championship 2023, some athletes act “strange” by asking to give up right after the match sounded. More notably, most of them are from Hanoi unit, and all withdrew when meeting the military athletes.
The winner does not withdraw
Hattrick gave up from Hanoi Delegation at the National Boxing Championship 2023 began in the afternoon of July 19. In the final of the 52kg weight of the age of 15-16, Hoang Cong Minh raised his hand to give up, yielding to the victory for Lu Bao Anh. At the age of 17-18, Trieu Sinh Thinh and Nguyen Dat Viet did the same thing when he went to the radio to meet Tran Quang Loc, Nguyen Gia Minh.
The way of justice, Sinh Thinh, Dat Viet raised his hand and asked not to fight, his head did not turn back from the ring, causing many people to ponder. What is the reason why these athletes decided to do that? Is that is the way the Hanoi athletes use to convey a message to the fans and the organizers?
To understand the story behind the actions of the Hanoi athletes, look back at the previous days of competition at the National Boxing Championship 2023. It was the time when some controversial matches between Hanoi and military athletes took place. In those matches, military boxers won both on the radio and in the re -examination session marking the match score.
Looking at the past, the Hanoi Boxing and the military encountered a similar incident in 2016. It was the Let's Viet struggle, where boxer Nguyen Thi Tam wanted to retire early after being tried to lose Trinh Thi Diem Kieu. Finally, the Organizing Committee resolved the invitation of an international arbitration, reversing the results and recognizing the victory belonged to Nguyen Thi Tam.

The life match of Nguyen Thi Tam against Trinh Thi Diem Kieu
However, the story of Nguyen Thi Tam 6 years ago was completely different from the recent incident at the National Boxing Championship of 2023. Because, instead of choosing to give back and not play, Nguyen Thi Tam decided to go to the radio to fight a battle for life. All ruling she left for the public, and the organizers must take action in time so that Boxing Vietnam does not lose a true talent.
Besides Nguyen Thi Tam, Vietnamese martial arts witnessed many similar stories of Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat, Truong Cao Minh Phat, Huynh Ha Huu Hieu. Only 10 years of lying on the honey to have the first SEA Games gold medal. Truong Cao Minh Phat has no gold medal in the achievement table. Huynh Ha Huu Hieu even constantly loses “strange” in the leagues last year.
The three Muay boxers once had to receive an unfortunate outcome in domestic and international tournaments. The result made them sad, but no one chose to turn their backs when she walked up to the competition. They accept defeat in a high position, to conquer new goals. The only reigning champion of MMA Vietnam, Minh Phat and Huu Hieu also has the WBC Muay belt.
But to talk about the most typical face for the spirit of not giving up, return to the high -performance boxing system of Vietnam. Have you ever heard the name of Tran Thi Ngoan, Thai Binh athlete? Certainly not, because this boxer has never been named in the national boxing team or international competition. She was even acquainted with Boxing, and was a 39 -year -old mother with two children.
Earlier this year, at the Boxing Championship of the nationwide teams of 2023, the Land visited to bring Tran Thi Ngoan to encounter Luu Diem Quynh (Hanoi) in the semi -final. If Tran Thi Ngoan is just a new boxer who practices boxing about 1 year, then Luu Diem Quynh is the veteran face of Boxing Vietnam. She has practiced Boxing for nearly 15 years, each representative of Vietnam competed in the world championship.
Put on the scale to compare 2 boxers, everyone knows who will win first when the match takes place. But giving up before the match was not the choice of Tran Thi Ngoan. After the time of discussing with coach Nguyen Thi Hoa (who was even 1 year younger than Tran Thi Ngoan), Thai Binh female boxer decided to go to the competition.
The competition between Tran Thi Ngoan and Luu Diem Quynh is an unequal confrontation. In the end, coach Nguyen Thi Hoa would like to lose, but she only did that after witnessing her boxer playing about 1 minute on the field. Giving up before the fighting time is not the choice of athletes, the coach considered the sports career as a sacred mission in life.
Turning back to give up is non -sport
In February 2017, the Vietnam V.League professional football tournament witnessed a unique incident in the tournament history. At the end of the match between Long An and Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City team enjoyed a controversial penalty. To react to this, goalkeeper Minh Nhut (Long An) decided to turn his back to catch penalty. This image was then quickly shared on international sites.
The decision of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) with this incident was quickly released. Temporarily did not mention the situation of blowing penalties of the right or wrong referee, the goalkeeper turned to catch a penalty as a non -sport behavior, seriously affecting the image of the tournament. Minh Nhut had to receive a 2 -year ban (then dropped to 1 year when he asked for a sentence reduction).
In the story of the National Boxing Championship of 2023, the mistake in the grading work is always recognized by the organizers. In fact, the referee made mistakes while on duty that had to receive discipline sentences at different levels: reminding, exempt from duty 1 day, the highest is to dismiss until the end of the tournament and be considered not to be invited to do the mission in the next prizes.
There is an opinion that the referees made mistakes while on duty at the National Boxing Championship of 2023 need to receive a permanent horn suspended. But for athletes who turned their backs, not playing? Is it also possible to ban play permanently with those who go against the spirit of the tournament, contrary to the spirit of sports in a national level tournament?
To answer, we need to compare with other subjects. In football, many referees received a permanent siren sentence and then returned to the mission, and many people still did their work well. “The discipline project needs to be educational” is also a comment of coach Mai Duc Chung after witnessing the female player fighting at the National Championship 5 years ago.
According to the coach, bringing Vietnamese women's recruitment to the World Cup, the sentence is too heavy with athletes, coaches or referees can cause reverse effects. In fact, VFF raised high and softly helped female players were disciplined later to continue playing football. 3 of the 6 face -to -receive faces are still the national player, preparing to play the World Cup 2023.
In fact, the Organizing Committee of the National Boxing Championship 2023 does not rely on non -sports. The athlete Tran Duc Tho (the Army) was sent to the Management Unit by the BTC to be disciplined, after he threw a bottle of water to the match. Tran Duc Tho is a national player, has just attended the 32nd SEA Games, but he is no exception if he violates the rules.
