Coach Philippe Troussier called many new players in this training session not only to test them for the future but also to hit many targets, hoping that the Vietnamese team will transform.
1. With what he has done for Vietnamese football, Coach Park Hang Seo has become a huge icon in the hearts of fans, despite having left his position for quite a while.
Because he is so impressive, what Philippe Troussier's successor is doing now is always compared to the former captain of the Vietnamese team, including the ongoing personnel revolution.
It cannot be denied that Mr. Park Hang Seo has done a lot for Vietnamese football, but what coach Philippe Troussier has done is very different.
Never before has the Vietnamese team had so many new recruits and young players like now, which is a big difference that the French captain shows to his colleague from Korea.
With the decision to call many young faces to the Vietnam national team
2. Coach Philippe Troussier called nearly half of the squad to gather for the FIFA Days this October as young players, as he promised when he took over as captain of the Vietnamese team.
The purpose is still the French captain with experience in the World Cup, fully understanding that a team that wants to participate in the biggest playground on the planet must have a large force instead of sticking to the familiar list for many years like the time of Coach Park Hang Seo.
To do that, it is necessary to rebuild, as well as accept great risks, and this can easily happen right in the current training session with 3 matches considered important for the Vietnamese team, which is in the renewal phase.
Whether it will be successful or not remains to be seen, but at least for now the Vietnamese team still has things to look forward to with a series of new recruits and young stars participating...
3. With coach Troussier deciding to call up nearly half of the roster, including many young players, the Vietnamese team is facing really fierce competition.
Coach Philippe Troussier hits many targets
The French coach is ready to cross out many veterans, even high-class players... as a strong declaration: No one can be 100% sure of a place like before if they lack effort or have a low level of tactical suitability.
Take Cong Phuong for example, although he played well in friendly matches under coach Philippe Troussier every time he was put on the field, even scoring... he was still willing to cross his name out, regardless of public opinion.
The captain of the Vietnam team has begun to create for fans, experts and players the habit that no one is irreplaceable.
Whether the Vietnamese team will be successful or not with the current way of doing things is unknown, but at least the ticket to the national team must be a truly fierce competition, instead of being assured of a place but lacking ambition (because of 'no' titles) as seen in the final stage of coach Park Hang Seo's reign.
