At the beginning of the meeting, Coach Troussier said: “I apologize for not attending the press conference after the match against Hong Kong.

At that time, I was very worried about Truong Tien Anh's injury. He had health problems after the match."

Back at the press conference, coach Troussier gave Quang Hai many compliments after his good performance against Hong Kong (China).

“I am really impressed with Quang Hai. In France, he did not play regularly.

But when given the chance, he played very well and covered more than 10km at high intensity in 90 minutes, a number that surprised me," said coach Troussier.

Besides, the French coach also highly appreciates two players playing abroad, Cong Phuong and Van Toan.

“I let Phuong play for about 30 minutes in the match against Hai Phong to help him regain his competitive spirit.

He didn't play much in Japan so I wanted to give Phuong a chance. I'm looking forward to his experience and motivation, no matter how much he plays.

Van Toan will also have similar motivation. Toan has an advantage over the two players above when he has played about 10 matches in Korea," said Mr. Troussier.

Evaluating the Syrian team, the strategist born in 1955 said: "I take every match seriously. Sometimes the media puts the Vietnamese team in a superior position, but I still have to respect Syria.

They are better than the Vietnamese team in terms of ranking, and also have the advantage of having many players with experience playing abroad.

However, that is just theory. The Vietnamese team will have home field advantage, the players are united and have a desire to conquer.

In addition, the former coach of the Japanese national team also said the reason he often requires his students to practice with great intensity.

“The Vietnamese team has affirmed its number one position in Southeast Asia. If they want to go far, Vietnamese players need to be proactive, smart and make efforts in the international arena.

That is why I increased the intensity of training. Syria will be a challenge that we need to overcome,” Mr. Troussier revealed.

As planned, the match between Vietnam and Syria will take place on June 20 at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).
