Ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup, ESPN has published an analysis of the chances of the 24 teams participating in the tournament. In particular, the leading Asian newspaper highly appreciates the ability of the Vietnamese team to create a surprise.

ESPN commented: "The Vietnam team needs to make every effort to win a ticket to the Asian Cup group stage again. This is a team capable of creating surprises.

They are completely capable of 'defeating' Indonesia. The Vietnamese team needs to get good results when facing Iraq or Japan, and Coach Troussier's team will advance to the next round."

In fact, the level of the Vietnamese team is not much inferior to that of Iraq. In the match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Coach Troussier's team excellently held the West Asian team to a draw until the last minute of injury time, before Mohanad Ali scored.

ESPN paid special attention to Quang Hai. The newspaper added: "The praise surrounding Quang Hai has somewhat decreased after the player's unsuccessful time playing in France.

However, Quang Hai is still the greatest talent of Vietnamese football. This midfielder has a habit of shining on big stages, like when he helped the Vietnamese team reach the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup."

Regarding coach Troussier, the Asian newspaper wrote: "Coach Troussier is an experienced strategist who has participated in two World Cups. He will start leading the Vietnamese team in March 2023, replacing coach Park Hang Seo.

In the past, the Korean coach helped Vietnamese football reach the top and participated in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.

At the 2023 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team will compete against Japan (6:30 p.m. on January 14), Indonesia (9:30 p.m. on January 19) and Iraq (6:30 p.m. on January 24).
