On the evening of September 9, U23 Vietnam won 1-0 against U23 Yemen in the second match of Group C of the 2024 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers thanks to a goal by Bui Vi Hao.
Coach Troussier was satisfied with the performance of U23 Vietnam against U23 Yemen.
The 3 points earned helped the red team officially win a ticket to the 2024 AFC U23 Championship.
As soon as he completed the qualifying round, Coach Troussier announced that the next goal of U23 Vietnam is a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"U23 Vietnam has achieved its goal of qualifying for the 2024 AFC U23 Championship. The team will continue to aim for the 2024 Paris Olympics," coach Philippe Troussier opened the press conference.
After the hard-fought victory against the West Asian team, the French coach did not hesitate to praise his players' fighting spirit.
At the same time, he also pointed out the weaknesses that Van Tung and his teammates need to improve to play better in the future.
“In the first half, the team had many bad passes. That created pressure in controlling the game. I made adjustments in the second half, Ho Van Cuong was the trump card, and also Luong Duy Cuong replaced Ngoc Thang who had received a yellow card earlier.
Duy Cuong helped the Vietnamese defense become more solid and confident. This strengthened the team's confidence in the front line, then Vi Hao, Van Khang, Dinh Bac entered the field.
Hopefully this will be reinforced and we will continue to improve in the future," said coach Troussier.
Sharing more about his future plans, the French strategist said he will promote 10-15 young players to the national team to create competition with their seniors.
From that process, he will choose the most suitable faces to aim for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, talking about the match that took place at Viet Tri Stadium on the evening of September 9, coach Miroslav Soukup of U23 Yemen said: “I send my congratulations to the home team. I know U23 Vietnam is a strong team, but we also have tactics and calculations. The players maintained their formation and playing intention.
Today, U23 Yemen was unlucky. U23 Vietnam is a quality team and deserves a place in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship.
According to the schedule, in the final match of Group C, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Singapore on September 12.
