In March, the Syrian team easily won 3-1 against Thailand but they lost 0-1 to the Vietnamese team in a friendly match.

That is what made the Thai press admire the victory of Coach Troussier's team. Siam Sport newspaper wrote: "The golden stars are so strong! The Vietnamese team excellently defeated Syria".

Thailand's leading sports daily commented: "The Vietnamese team did very well in winning against Syria, a team ranked higher in the FIFA rankings.

There were doubts when the "Golden Stars" only won 1-0 against Hong Kong (China) but it turned out that they showed great strength in the match against Syria.

Coach Troussier's team affirmed their strength with two victories in the FIFA Days series in March.

Thairath newspaper (Thailand) said that the Vietnamese team has changed after the match with Hong Kong (China): "The development of the Vietnamese team can be highly appreciated. They have improved significantly. This team played more proactively and openly when meeting Syria.

Coach Troussier emphasized that he asked his players to be more patient and calm when they had the ball. However, due to the short training time, the whole team still had certain errors.

Another Thai newspaper, Buaksi b , emphasized that the victory of the Vietnamese team was extremely impressive as Syria is a relatively strong team in Asia. The "Golden Star Warriors" played a reasonable game and scored the only goal by Tuan Hai.

Bola.Okezone (Indonesia) commented: "The 1-0 victory over Syria is a positive result for the Vietnamese team. Playing at home, coach Troussier's team played proactively. The Vietnamese players showed good spirit when pressuring Syria.

The appearance of Tuan Hai and Tien Anh in the second half brought a sweet result for the Vietnamese team with Tuan Hai's goal. Even in the context of Syria's pressure, the "Golden Dragons" still showed their steadfastness.

Meanwhile, Bola Sport (Indonesia) newspaper said that the Vietnamese team had an impressive record in the first two matches of coach Troussier when they both won against Hong Kong (China) and Syria with the same score of 1-0.
