Yep, but actually football is a good way to train soldiers to learn abt courage, discipline, quick reaction and being humble.

VN General Vo Nguyen Giap (who lead VN to victory against France and US) and outstanding football players The Cong in 1976​

“Since its establishment in 1954, The Cong union has still received the constant attention of General Vo Nguyen Giap. As for football, the General expressed his love quite strongly," - former Head of the Cong Group - Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien - said.

"It's the true soldiers of General Giap"

Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien said that all generations of The Cong still refer to The Cong's heroic match against the Cuban team on the occasion of September 9, 1970. General Vo Nguyen Giap sat on the stands of Hang Day Stadium to watch the match. This is also the debut match of one of the best strikers in the history of Vietnamese football, Ba "dan" - Nguyen The Anh.

The Cuban team with a tall physique quickly took a 2-0 lead, and the heavy rain made everyone not believe in a favorable result for Cong Cong. Then, The Cong players know how to take advantage of what seems like a disadvantage to become an advantage. For example, Ba's technical ball path makes the tall Cuban players only stand... look.
Defender Phan Van My removed a goal from the 11-meter mark, Ba "threw" people to equalize 2-2 so that in the last minutes, The Cong had a goal to set 3-2. The whole field broke down, after the game the players stood looking at each other without speaking, tears mixed with rain.

"We were ordered to take a shower and then focus on meeting General Vo Nguyen Giap," said Mr. Hien. That evening, the General visited the team, people took to the streets to celebrate, causing the General's car to be stuck. When meeting the players, the General said: "The people told me: ''Our army is so heroic. That's right, they are the true soldiers of General Giap''.

We know the General was very happy to see such a strong match. Finding ways to turn our weaknesses into advantages, finding unexpected factors to knock down stronger opponents - that's part of the General's military philosophy and we also partly do that in march (against Cuban team). fight.

“In 1994, Cong Cong celebrated its 40th anniversary.” - Mr. Hien said - "General Vo Nguyen Giap and other army generals at that time such as Van Tien Dung and Le Kha Phieu attended". When invited to speak, the General only said very briefly: "After 40 years, the Congregation has brightened up military football, radiant for national football. I urge you comrades to continue striving. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, and most of all, be very humble."

The two words "humble" emanating from the General seem to be very light, but contain a part of the personality of the legendary Vo Nguyen Giap. In 2008, Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien participated in composing the book "Army Sports - The Ways", General Vo Nguyen Giap was quite ill at that time, but he also agreed to write the introduction to the book.



Happy birthday @Viva_Viet
