The surprising effect of 'cooling break' helps the University of Economics team

In the qualifying round of the 2nd Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament - 2024 THACO Cup (TNSV THACO Cup 2024), all matches apply the "cooling break" rule. This is a rule that has been applied by the World Football Federation (FIFA) for a long time to help players rest for 3 minutes in the middle of each half, so that players can drink water to avoid losing strength due to the heat.

Many teams also took advantage of this time for their coaches to direct or adjust their playing tactics on the field. The University of Economics and Law team was the team that took advantage of the "cooling break" rule very effectively in the match against the Vietnam Aviation Academy team at the Youth Student Tournament , when they changed the situation dramatically to win the match with the biggest score right after the opening day of the qualifying round.

Before that, the players of the University of Economics and Law entered the match somewhat tensely, allowing the opponent team of the Vietnam Aviation Academy to dominate. However, in the middle of the first half, after the referee let the players rest to drink water, the situation on the field completely changed. As soon as the match resumed, the University of Economics and Law unexpectedly scored 2 consecutive goals thanks to Thanh Dat (6) and Trong Duc (11) in the 27th and 29th minutes to lead 2-0.

In the second half, thanks to the psychological advantage of leading the score, the players of the University of Economics and Law played more confidently and scored 2 more goals. In which, Trong Duc (11) scored the 2nd goal of the match when he successfully executed a penalty kick in the 53rd minute and Ho Si Tien (5) scored the goal to increase the score to 4-0 in the 65th minute. The Vietnam Aviation Academy team scored a consolation goal by Lam Van Men (7) in the 70th minute.

"In fact, the "cooling break" rule helped the University of Economics and Law team turn the game around. This was the first time we participated in the Youth Student Tournament , so the players were stressed and had a hard time getting into the game. Luckily, during this time we played very hard to prevent many opportunities for the opponent to score. If the Vietnam Aviation Academy team had scored first, the situation might have been different.

The coaching staff of the University of Economics and Law team gave timely instructions to the players during the break between halves.

When we had a precious 3-minute break and water supply in the middle of the first half, we promptly instructed the players to stay calm, maintain rhythm and formation distance. We needed to reorganize the game tightly. Thanks to that, when the match resumed, the University of Economics and Law team took advantage of 2 scoring opportunities and changed the situation dramatically," Coach Pham Minh Triet of the University of Economics and Law team shared after the match.

Meanwhile, player Ho Si Tien (5), captain of the University of Economics and Law team, expressed: "The timely break in the middle of the first half, in addition to being given water, also helped us calm down. The coach also gave timely instructions, helping us play according to the proposed tactics. This is truly an experience, because this is the first time the University of Economics and Law team participated in the Youth Student Tournament and played the first match, so it was inevitable that there was pressure and tension. This victory will help us be more confident in the upcoming matches in Group 2".
