Roll call of Vietnam national team's attack: Which star is expected to 'tear the net' against Indonesia?

Pham Tuan Hai and Nguyen Cong Phuong are injured, but the Vietnamese team welcomes the return of Nguyen Tien Linh. After recovering from injury, this striker has gradually regained his form with 3 goals in the last 2 matches for Binh Duong Club.

Under coach Troussier, Tien Linh has not left much of an impression. At the 2023 Asian Cup, he did not participate due to injury right before the tournament, when he was in good form in the V.League. The two matches against Indonesia were an opportunity for him to assert his leading position in the attack of the Vietnamese team. Tien Linh is also very lucky to score against the opponent from the archipelago.

Nguyen Van Toan has been playing consistently since returning to Vietnam to play for Nam Dinh Club. The speed and skillful dribbling of the striker born in 1996 can create breakthroughs in the Vietnamese team's attack, causing chaos in the Indonesian defense.

Besides, Van Toan's experience is very necessary to create a support for his younger teammates in the national team. Coach Troussier often arranges the player born in 1996 to play as a right striker.

Quang Hai lost his form after playing football in France. Recently, he has started to regain his best playing form. This season, Quang Hai has scored 5 goals and had 1 assist for his teammates, being one of the domestic players with the most goal contributions in V.League 2023/24.

The midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club has always been the hope in the attack of the Vietnamese team. Quang Hai is the type of player who can shine in big matches and that is what fans expect from him when the Vietnamese team faces Indonesia.

Nguyen Dinh Bac is one of the young players that Coach Troussier has the most confidence in in the Vietnam national team. Dinh Bac debuted for the national team in the match against the Philippines last November and scored 2 goals in 4 appearances.

Dinh Bac's impressive performance was in the match against Japan at the 2023 Asian Cup. This player played confidently, causing many difficulties for stars playing in Europe.

Nham Manh Dung can play well in many positions on the field. He even played the role of goalkeeper for U23 Vietnam. The player of The Cong Viettel is strong in the ability to operate independently, using personal techniques to maneuver in tight spaces.

Nham Manh Dung has not had many opportunities to show his talent in the Vietnam national team. In the situation where coach Troussier does not have a satisfactory striker, the striker of Viettel The Cong Club can be trusted.

Nguyen Van Tung is a name that has caused a lot of controversy when appearing in the list of the Vietnamese national team this time. The player born in 2001 has not shown much and has not had an official position at Hanoi FC.

Van Tung's strengths are that he plays simple football, is aggressive and is not afraid of collisions. These skills can help Van Tung confront Indonesia's strong defenders.

Besides the players who often play in the attack, Coach Troussier can consider using Khuat Van Khang. This player is placed on the left wing of the Vietnam team and has the ability to create breakthrough plays.

In the match against Iraq at the 2023 Asian Cup, Coach Troussier used Van Khang as a center forward. He tended to move widely, dropping back to coordinate with the midfield. Playing with great effort and having good moves, Van Khang had to leave the field early due to receiving 2 yellow cards.

Hoang Duc used to play the number 1 role in the center of the Vietnam national team's midfield, but he lost that position when Coach Troussier took over as head coach. The French coach wanted to use Hoang Duc in a different role that the midfielder could not yet fulfill. According to this plan, Hoang Duc could take advantage of his physical and technical advantages to receive the ball with his back to the opponent's goal as well as drop deep to support the midfield, opening up space for the wingers.

Coach Troussier is still looking for ways to use Hoang Duc in the Vietnam national team. He will only be absent from the 2023 Asian Cup due to injury and was removed at the last minute.
