Doan Van Hau is injured. Nguyen Phong Hong Duy and Vu Van Thanh were not called up. The best left-backs of the Vietnamese team in recent years will certainly not be present in the match against Palestine tonight (September 11).
The promising young faces are Phan Tuan Tai, Vo Minh Trong and Khuat Van Khang who are in the Vietnam U23 team. This means that coach Philippe Troussier will definitely have to test the new factor on the left wing in the practice session at Thien Truong stadium.
Giap Tuan Duong is probably the choice that coach Troussier has tested in the match against Palestine tonight. However, this is probably just a patchwork experiment, because it is very difficult for the players of the Hanoi Police Club to meet the standards of Van Hau, Hong Duy or Van Thanh when these 3 players are in the best playing condition.
Giap Tuan Duong (red shirt) is likely to be chosen to replace Doan Van Hau in the match between Vietnam and Palestine.
In the current list of 26 players, the French coach does not have many options. Only Giap Tuan Duong, a player of the Hanoi Police Club who was just transferred from the U23 Vietnam team to the national team, has the ability to play left back.
In the 3-4-3 formation, the left wing position does not necessarily have to be assigned to a player who specializes in playing as a defender. Mr. Troussier can put a winger in this position, or even a central midfielder (similar to the way he put midfielder Nguyen Duc Phu alternating with Ho Van Cuong in U23 Vietnam on the right wing).
However, even in this option, Coach Troussier only has Trieu Viet Hung - a player who often plays left wing at Hai Phong Club. Some other options that can be considered are Truong Tien Anh, Do Hung Dung, Pham Tuan Hai, all of whom are "off-position".
Coach Troussier had to test a new option in the left wing position.
The defender born in 2002 played 11 matches in V-League 2023, including 6 starting matches. Giap Tuan Duong only had the opportunity to play when Van Hau could not play due to injury or penalty cards. This player's mark in the matches of Hanoi Police Club also did not have many outstanding points.
Giap Tuan Duong was called up by coach Troussier to the Vietnam U23 team during the training sessions since the beginning of the year. However, he was not on the list for the 32nd SEA Games and was not a priority option for the Asian U23 qualifiers.
Therefore, it is likely that Coach Troussier's experiment this time in the left-back position will not be to find a replacement or compete with Doan Van Hau in the long term. However, for Giap Tuan Duong, it is still a rare opportunity that he needs to make an effort to take advantage of.
In case Giap Tuan Duong does not meet the requirements, Trieu Viet Hung could be the name given the next opportunity. Compared to his juniors, the player of Hai Phong Club has more advantages, especially the ability to contribute in the ball control game.
