Beautiful flag salute image of fans of People's Police University
Among the new features of the THACO Cup 2024 TNSV tournament, it can be seen at the opening ceremony of the Ho Chi Minh City regional qualifying round, when the neat and orderly green military uniforms appeared, looking very beautiful on the C stand of Ton Duc Thang University, with the national flags in the hands of more than 200 young students of the People's Police University.
This is very special because, in addition to martial arts tournaments, this is the first time the audience has seen the presence of players and fans of the People's Police University in a football tournament not belonging to the police sector, on a large-scale 11-a-side field like the TNSV THACO Cup 2024.
Lieutenant Colonel Phan Van Duoc, Deputy Head of the Political Department, People's Police University under the Ministry of Public Security , head of the delegation, said that immediately after the Youth Union received the invitation from the Organizing Committee, with the support of the leaders of the Political Department and the Board of Directors, the teachers and students of the football team practiced enthusiastically together, preparing for the big festival.
One advantage is that the People's Police University has a cluster of football fields inside the campus, so the screening and recruitment process is quite convenient. Unfortunately, the football fields are mini-sized for 5 and 7 players, not up to the standard of 11 players, so the players are not really familiar and proficient in running and coordinating in large spaces.
This is the first time the People's Police University has participated in an 11-a-side football tournament.
Lieutenant Colonel Phan Van Duoc said: "After receiving the invitation and confirmation from the school's Board of Directors to participate in the THACO Cup 2024 Youth Volunteer Tournament, we organized a 7-a-side tournament on the school campus to select regular soldiers and build forces to prepare for this big tournament.
Also, in addition to its main location in District 7 (HCMC), the People's Police University also has campuses in Thu Duc and Can Tho City. However, we have decided to only recruit full-time students in District 7, with birth years from 1996 onwards, in accordance with the regulations of the Organizing Committee of the THACO Cup 2024 Youth Police Tournament."
Also according to Lieutenant Colonel Phan Van Duoc, not counting the training systems of work-study, joint training, post-graduate training... the number of soldiers is also very large, the People's Police University currently has 4 courses gathering about 2,000 full-time students, from which 23 players are screened to register with the tournament's Organizing Committee.
All 23 players are in a concentrated diet and training regime, so they have a very special understanding. However, unlike what people think, the teachers and students here do not practice every day, only maintain 2 afternoon sessions per week, then adjust to one Saturday morning so that the players can get used to the competition rhythm.
Teachers and students of the People's Police University are eagerly preparing for the THACO Cup 2024
Head of the delegation Phan Van Duoc shared: "Students of the People's Police University have many other activities and training contents such as the combat preparation program of the Ministry of Public Security, formal outdoor martial arts training...
Therefore, having 2 training sessions together every week is a great effort of the school to adjust and support the team. In addition, although we have a field, it is small for 7 people, so we do not have the feeling of competing and real combat experience on the 11-a-side field.
But the strength of the People's Police University football team is its youth and relatively good physical strength because the students have been trained since entering the school. Although they have not played in any major student tournaments, we assess that their physical strength is relatively guaranteed after 3 months of training.
Players practice on the 7-a-side pitch inside the People's Police University campus.
The limitation, as mentioned above, is that the players have not played much on the 11-a-side field, so they lack practical experience on the big field. For example, many players who are used to playing on the 7-a-side field and are used to kicking the sidelines now switch to throw-ins and still make mistakes, or have to practice playing with the offside rule, for example...
However, our teachers and students are determined to be very comfortable in the spirit of exchange and learning. Playing in a major tournament for the first time will of course inevitably be confusing, but we will be receptive, learn to draw experiences, and prepare better for the following years."
Also, although they have not yet caught up with the 11-a-side "front", coach Nguyen Trong Nghia and his team made a strong impression when they defeated Banking University in a friendly match on January 3 at Ton Duc Thang Stadium with a score of 5-1.
That is an impressive achievement considering that the People's Police University football team accepted to use half of the squad as second-year students, because the first-year students had just completed a 6-month training period and did not have time to prepare.
People's Police University will be the mysterious factor of the THACO Cup 2024
Lieutenant Colonel Phan Van Duoc affirmed: "Our point of view is to create conditions for the players to play football comfortably, so we do not put too much pressure on tactics, in order to help the players develop their abilities. This of course also comes from the fact that there is not much time to practice on a large field.
The school has planned to build an 11-player football field, so hopefully in the future the team will have standard training conditions to prepare even better. At this time, the People's Police University team is determined to play fair and play with all their heart to contribute to the colorful picture of the THACO Cup 2024 TNSV football tournament.
Our advantage is that we are located right next to Ton Duc Thang University, so it is convenient to travel. The students in the school are also very passionate about sports, so we hope to be "fueled" strongly by the stands, so that we can contribute good, attractive and beautiful matches in this year's tournament."
