Coach Philippe Troussier gave instructions before sending Phan Tuan Tai onto the field.
The Vietnam team will continue to train in Lach Tray, and will have a friendly match with Hai Phong Club at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon. However, in reality, coach Philippe Troussier will mix the squad with the U.23 Vietnam players who have just traveled from Hanoi.
Accordingly, the main players and those who played a lot in the 1-0 victory over Hong Kong will be given a rest. Players who were slightly injured after the "double kick" situations of the opponent such as Hoang Duc, Tan Tai, Tien Anh... will also be given a break.
It will not be surprising if the group of 4 U.23 Vietnam players promoted to the Vietnam national team such as Tuan Tai, Van Khang, Van Tung and Van Toan are arranged by Mr. Troussier for the friendly match at 5:00 p.m. today.
The team that did not register to compete before Hong Kong will play against Hai Phong Club or Syria.
Among them, Van Tung started against Hong Kong so the possibility of playing is open, while Van Khang and Tuan Tai, who entered the field in the second half, will be on the registration list. Of course, Van Toan, who did not play a single minute on June 15, will be present.
Also this morning, coach Philippe Troussier is considering whether to use the group of 6 players who did not register to compete and sat in the stands when the Vietnamese team met Hong Kong for the friendly match with Hai Phong Club.
Among them are stars like Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Van Thanh alongside Bui Tien Dung, Bui Van Duc, Nham Manh Dung. Whoever is in the plan to use against Syria on June 20 will probably not or will play less against Hai Phong Club.
Van Khang will likely play against Hai Phong Club.
It is expected that coach Philippe Troussier will register 22 players mixed between U.23 Vietnam and the Vietnam national team for the match against Hai Phong Club at 5:00 p.m. today.
The coaches of both teams have agreed to play 3 rounds of 30 minutes each, so that they can test different groups of players. If the previous friendly match with the Hanoi Police Club was to evaluate the Vietnam U.23 team, then Mr. Troussier's goal this afternoon is different.
According to calculations, after the match against Hong Kong, the Vietnamese team will only have 3 official friendly matches with Syria (June 20), Palestine (September) and 1 more match in October. Meanwhile, building a new playing style requires a lot of time.
The Vietnamese team needs more matches to calculate, discover, and adjust to find a framework that adapts well to the attacking football philosophy. Therefore, coach Philippe Troussier will make the most of friendly matches like the one with Hai Phong Club this afternoon, so that the players can better understand the intentions of implementing the playing style.
