Vietnam team first training session in Korea

At 7:00 p.m. tonight, October 15, the Vietnamese team will have a training session at the Suwon Samsung Bluewings Club's training ground, about 20 minutes by bus from the hotel.

Nguyen Quang Hai was not present at this training session. The midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club collided with an Uzbekistan player and suffered a calf injury. He will definitely not be able to participate in the match against the Korean team.

Meanwhile, defender Ho Van Cuong is still actively practicing despite having 7 stitches before. The Nghe An player had a tear in the skin above his eye in the match against China. Coach Troussier wanted to ensure the safety of this player so he did not register him for the match against Uzbekistan.

The Vietnamese team spent 10 hours traveling from Dalian (China) to Suwon (South Korea) today. Therefore, Coach Troussier let the players do light exercises to release their inertia. The players were quite tired due to the long journey but still maintained their concentration and enthusiasm in each exercise.

Tomorrow night (October 16), the Vietnamese team will have a practice session at the Suwon World Cup stadium, the venue for the friendly match with the Korean team. This match concludes the FIFA Days series of matches in preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November for the Vietnamese team.

The players remained focused after the long flight to Korea.

Before the match against South Korea, Coach Troussier helped the Vietnamese team defeat Hong Kong (China), Syria and Palestine. After that, the team lost two matches against China and Uzbekistan.

" Against our opponents Korea, we need to improve and further strengthen our defensive organization in open situations. Against strong teams like Uzbekistan or Korea, I think the team can only control 30-35% of the ball. The remaining time without the ball must have good defensive discipline and organization ," commented coach Troussier.
