Nguyen Binh Bac suffered a muscle injury and was unable to practice on January 17. This was not good news for coach Troussier. The Vietnamese team had to wait until January 18 to know whether Nguyen Dinh Bac could practice with the team or not.
Before the match against the Japanese team, another striker, Pham Tuan Hai, also suffered a slight injury but recovered and was able to play the full 90 minutes.
Nguyen Dinh Bac was injured.
Nguyen Dinh Bac left a strong impression on the opening day of the 2023 Asian Cup. Sofascore gave him 7.3 points - equal to captain Do Hung Dung, the highest in the Vietnamese team. This is also the second highest score among all the players on the field in this match. Dinh Bac scored 1 goal and successfully dribbled past many opponents.
He played confidently, calmly dribbled the ball and was the core of the Vietnamese team's counterattacks. The photo of Dinh Bac competing for the ball with Wataru Endo posted on the Premier League's homepage received tens of thousands of interactions.
In the latest training session of the Vietnamese team, Coach Troussier trained his players with many defensive exercises. Before thinking about victory, the Vietnamese team needs to make sure they don't concede a goal against the Indonesian team. The French coach paid special attention to the throw-ins of the team from the archipelago.
Defender Vo Minh Trong said: “ We are ready, both in terms of expertise and fighting spirit. Before that, the whole team watched the video and analyzed the expertise. We have learned more about Indonesia. This is indeed an opponent that is always full of fighting spirit.
In this training session, the Vietnamese team will prepare a plan to deal with Indonesia's throw-in. We will also try to overcome the problems to achieve the best results. Thereby, we will have more basis to enter the next round ."
The Vietnamese team will meet the Indonesian team in the second match of Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup at 9:30 p.m. on January 19 (Vietnam time).
