Vietnam - Palestine Team (7:30 p.m. today): Equally strong

(Dan Tri) - Palestine is not yet a strong team in Asian football, but at present, this opponent seems suitable for the Vietnamese team.

*The match between Vietnam and Palestine will take place at 7:30 p.m. tonight (September 11), at Thien Truong Stadium ( Nam Dinh ), Dan Tri will report this match online.

At this stage, the Vietnamese team has just gathered, the cohesion of the players is certainly not high. Therefore, an opponent that is not too strong and not too weak like Palestine can be suitable for Coach Troussier's team.

If the opponent is too weak, of course the Vietnamese team will not gain anything from the upcoming match. On the contrary, if the opponent is too strong, Coach Troussier's team will not have the opportunity to control the ball, from which the whole team's playing style can be ruined, and the French coach's intention to experiment with personnel and playing style will therefore be ineffective.

During this period, the Vietnamese team also said goodbye to some key players, but some new faces were called up to the team. This is normal under the reign of a new coach.

The important thing is that the players currently on the national team prove that they are worthy of wearing the national team shirt, proving that they are suitable for coach Troussier's tactical intentions or not.

Basically, the playing style of the Vietnamese team will be similar to what the U23 Vietnam team is showing in the 2024 U23 Asian qualifiers, because both teams are led by the same coach.

Basically, the playing style of the U23 Vietnam team has improved compared to the 32nd SEA Games, after the players understood each other better and understood their coach better. Most recently, U23 Vietnam won 1-0 against U23 Yemen to win the right to enter the final round of the U23 Asian Cup. This victory came from a rather diverse attacking style of play.

In theory, the Vietnam national team will play better than the Vietnam U23 team, because the national team has better personnel than the U23 team.

Specifically, the national team has goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, a defense line including Viet Anh, Thanh Binh, Que Ngoc Hai that the U23 team cannot have. The U23 Vietnam team also cannot have a midfielder who is both strange and technical, and experienced like Quang Hai, or a sharp striker like Tien Linh.

What is important is the form and desire of the above players, especially in a friendly match where there is still a mentality of playing to "save the players' legs" and avoid injuries.

Hopefully the entire Vietnamese team will perform to the best of their ability, play with the highest spirit and form, so that experts and domestic football fans can have a comprehensive view of the team.

Coach Troussier himself will also find it easier to evaluate his students if the players he leads play to their full potential.

Palestine is not too strong, and this West Asian team is not sure to be in good form. Therefore, if the Vietnamese team plays at their best, coach Philippe Troussier's team is capable of defeating their opponents on home ground.

Prediction: Vietnam team wins 2-0
