V-League 2023 - 2024 will return from February 17, with a series of matches in round 9. The matches from February 17 until the Vietnamese team gathers again, preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches in Asia in March, will be an opportunity for players to demonstrate their abilities to coach Torussier, for a place on the national team.
There are quite a few faces who missed the 2023 Asian Cup due to injury, such as central defenders Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung, midfielders Nguyen Duc Chien, Nguyen Hoang Duc, striker Nguyen Tien Linh, and goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.
They are all talented players, their absence from the recent Asian championship was extremely regrettable.

Others, who are present in Qatar, but have not had the opportunity to show themselves, such as right-back Ho Tan Tai, midfielder Nguyen Hai Long (have not played a single minute). Or others who have played but have not played much time for the national team, such as midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long (red card in the match against Indonesia, suspended for the next match against Iraq), also want to continue to show themselves, in order to gain more trust from coach Troussier.

Ho Tan Tai has yet to show much under coach Troussier.
As for the French coach, perhaps this is the time for Mr. Troussier to open his heart more, to be more diverse in calling up many players of different ages to the team, instead of just focusing on young players, focusing on "changing the blood" of the team like in past tournaments.
The playing style of the Vietnamese team has gradually taken shape, and players of different ages now know that style of play. When they join the team, these players will be aware of playing according to coach Philippe Troussier's intentions, so the French coach does not need to worry about what he conveys to the players not going as expected.
The most important thing for every national team in the world is to gather the best players, the best of all football, to do international duty.
With their professional skills and experience in many different international tournaments, we believe that Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Tien Linh, Ho Tan Tai... will know what to do to meet the professional requirements set by Coach Troussier.

The upcoming rounds of the V-League will be the final rehearsal for the players, before they participate in the very big match of the Vietnamese team, with Indonesia on March 21 and 26, within the framework of the World Cup qualifiers.
Those are also the matches that can decide the fate of coach Philippe Troussier as head coach of the Vietnam national team, so we hope that the French coach will expand the selection of personnel for the team, for the quality of the Vietnam national team and for Mr. Troussier himself.
