Football and life

(PLVN) - Another World Cup has arrived after a four-year wait. We waited for over a month of competition in North America to see which team would be crowned champion. Would Messi and his teammates defend their title, or would another team claim it? Everything was full of surprises and drama, just like life itself, and this has been the case for the past four years.

People get old every four years. Many players we watched four years ago have now retired due to age, injury, or declining performance… It's just like human life, with its ups and downs, glory, bitterness, failures, and happiness. Many football fans jokingly say to each other: "Watch a few more World Cups and then my life will end."

Yes, that's the natural process of aging and physical wear and tear. But football remains full of youthful energy, passion, joy, suffering, and wonder… Everything that people experience in life is present in a football match. Therefore, people who love football are loving themselves. They love their own joys and sorrows.

Four years before the World Cup in Qatar, many thought Ronaldo, Modric, and Messi would retire. But four years later, they were still captains leading their national teams to conquer the gold trophy. This was a testament to the players' unwavering dedication and passion for the game. These talents remain an extraordinary legacy for fans worldwide .

Watching the World Cup, many Vietnamese people wonder: When will our national team get to compete on this big stage? The answer is difficult, as our skill level is still low in Asia, while the competition among teams is intense.

In Southeast Asia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have all invested heavily in personnel for their World Cup campaign. We must strive even harder, from developing youth football and improving the quality of the professional league to selecting naturalized players… The dream will come true when everything is in place.

Cabo Verde – a team from the West African island nation participating in its first World Cup – is a positive inspiration for smaller football nations like Vietnam. They are on the right track with an ambitious project: “Participating in the World Cup is something we probably never imagined would happen so soon. Before, our people always waited until the World Cup took place and then chose a team to support. But now they will have the joy of supporting their own country,” shared Stopira, a defender for the Cabo Verde team.

So we have the right to dream romantically like that, even knowing that reaching the world stage is very difficult for a football system like Vietnam's, which still has many problems.
