Cannot praise the excellent Vietnam team

The Vietnam national team started smoothly under coach Philippe Troussier with 2 wins in friendly matches. The players still have problems and cannot operate the game smoothly, but this is normal for teams in the transition period.

"This is a reasonable result in the process of starting with a new coach, new philosophy and new ground. The Vietnamese team has gradually improved. I do not rate the professional quality too highly, but I think we are on the upward path. Mr. Troussier has boldly experimented with many new people, including young players. This creates motivation for the players, who were previously among the pillars of the national team ," commented commentator Ngo Quang Tung.

Vietnam team beat Syria thanks to Pham Tuan Hai's goal.

Compared to the victory over Hong Kong (China), the Vietnamese team played better when facing Syria. The wave of criticism directed at Coach Troussier and his players has temporarily subsided. However, these two matches are not a suitable measure to evaluate the level of good or bad of the Vietnamese team, but only provide a signal that changes can create positive effects.

"No one likes losing, but we need to be calm after 2 wins. I haven't thought about making promises just after the results of the last 2 matches. However, the important thing is that we need to see the roadmap is on the rise," commentator Quang Tung expressed his opinion.

According to this expert, the Vietnamese team is still in the transition phase, getting used to new tactics and new personnel. All factors are not yet at an ideal level. Therefore, the poor performance in the victory over Hong Kong (China) or the improvement against Syria does not reflect the true ability of the Vietnamese team.

"It is not possible to evaluate the expertise of the Vietnamese team at an excellent level, creating promise. Everything is just at the beginning stage, getting used to the new philosophy under the new coach. There will still be mistakes, points that are not as expected.

A match like this cannot truly reflect the best ability and the highest striving ability of the players that Mr. Troussier is building. We have to wait. The philosophy is being pursued according to the coach's wishes. That is an important issue, and it takes a lot of time," commented commentator Quang Tung.

"I think things will get better. The team has the same mindset between teachers and students, understanding, and grasping the philosophy. Ideas will be transformed into specific playing styles and specific moves. That takes time.

Mr. Troussier will observe more players and discover many problems that can be improved. By observing more players at the club, Mr. Troussier will make them more realistic in his ideas. His ideas may not be completely suitable for the personality of Vietnamese football, but the next 3 or 6 months are an opportunity for him to observe them at the club and refine his ideas."

The Vietnam team shows positive signs from Mr. Troussier's changes.

In addition to the difference in playing style compared to his predecessor Park Hang Seo, Coach Troussier also made changes in personnel in the Vietnam team. The French coach tested many new elements, including impressive U23 players such as Nguyen Van Tung (starting both matches) and especially Nguyen Thai Son.

"New faces give the team a new color, create competition and build a new cycle for the national team. Those factors make the difference for the Vietnamese team compared to the previous period," commented commentator Quang Tung. "Players of the previous generation still maintain their form at the peak of their careers. However, I feel that they have reached a certain threshold, which could be in terms of expertise or motivation to compete. With the appearance of new faces, that threshold can be removed."

The fact that the new faces have made an impression is also a reminder for the players who were once pillars under Coach Park Hang Seo. When working with a new coach, all players must strive from the beginning to gain trust and be given the opportunity to compete. Not only in these two friendly matches, the players must demonstrate their abilities in the club's colors.

"With such a short time of concentration, they have not shown much. The playing conditions at the club will greatly determine how much influence they have in the national team's progress. Playing regularly plays a major role. They may be special players, but if they do not play in the next 6 months, the story will not improve much," said commentator Ngo Quang Tung.
