V-League Play-off: Calling Cong Phuong and Binh Phuoc or Da Nang?

The play-off match between SHB.Da Nang and Binh Phuoc is not only worth watching but also raises an interesting question: Does V-League need an ambitious new force or old values ​​rich in tradition?

1. Binh Phuoc in the last 2 seasons has shown that they are an ambitious and very willing-to-spend club. The fact that the team's leadership offered a bonus of up to 10 billion VND for the play-off match with Da Nang says it all.

In recent seasons, the V-League championship race has often been considered unattractive, sometimes ending early and lacking spectacular breakthroughs.

Therefore, the presence of a team with abundant investment resources and ambition like Binh Phuoc could be a big boost for this tournament. Of course, the necessary condition is that Cong Phuong's club must defeat SHB .Da Nang in the play-off match tonight (June 27).

It can be seen that when a team does not hesitate to spend money to reach the top, like Binh Phuoc is showing, it has all the elements that can create an immediate boost for the tournament, which has lacked catalysts in recent seasons.

V-League needs strong Binh Phuoc because of money

2. If Binh Phuoc represents a new force, then SHB. Da Nang is the proof of the traditional and historical values ​​of V-League.

But more importantly, SHB.Da Nang represents a sustainable development model of a football industry based on relatively systematic youth training, something that Binh Phuoc certainly cannot have, typically the recent announcement of this First Division team withdrawing the U21 team from the National qualifying round is an example.

In the worst case, the Han River team is relegated again, after a season returning to the playground where they won the championship twice, it will clearly be a disadvantage for Vietnamese football. Because then the ability to train young people will encounter problems as seen in the past.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, many people hope that Bui Tien Dung's team will stay in V-League to protect the sustainable foundation (youth training) that any football industry needs.

Or a SHB.Da Nang with rich tradition and good youth training foundation?

3. Overall, what V-League really needs is not simply tradition or financial potential, but long-term stability, based on a harmonious combination of the two factors mentioned above.

Therefore, the play-off match taking place at Thong Nhat Stadium on the evening of June 27 not only decides the V-League spot but also poses a bigger problem for the tournament managers: on what conditions should the game be built?

The answer is both money and tradition, but most of all, a club with a stable and sustainable strategy is needed to develop V-League further in the future.

In short, whether SHB.Da Nang continues to stay in V-League or Binh Phuoc is promoted, the winning team needs to prove that they can bring stability and development that V-League desires.

If they stay and continue to struggle next season, or if after a few years of promotion the owners withdraw, it's too... sad.
