Coach Troussier unleashes creativity for Vietnam team

SET UP A NEW FLOOR PLAN

After only a few days, Coach Troussier had to say goodbye to Hong Duy and Nguyen Manh, while Tien Linh trained separately. In addition to Phan Van Duc's long-term injury and Hung Dung's yet to return, it is clear that the Vietnamese team is missing many key players, along with familiar attacking options. But on the contrary, that also opens up the opportunity for the coach nicknamed "White Witch" to carry out new experiments, for example, Minh Trong or Tuan Tai playing left-back if Van Hau is tested as a left-sided center-back. All for the sole purpose of harmoniously promoting pressing ability and unleashing creativity in the midfield.

Hoang Duc (14) will be the key to the midfield of the Vietnamese team.

This is the focus of his investment, carried out in parallel with the "demolition and reconstruction" to create a fresh atmosphere for his reign. Commentator Ngo Quang Tung commented: "Coach Troussier is trying to erase the gap between the old and the new, to

create a new level for the Vietnamese team. That is the right thing to do, because after 5 years under Mr. Park, the old groups of players have

quite clearly shaped because emotions are human, unavoidable. Therefore, changing the way of playing, requiring new tactics is also breaking the old existence so that young people and new elements can enter.

This is most evident in the roster, in which the midfield and attack have the most new elements. The problem is how the newcomers will have to adapt to the new, more offensive style of play. The midfield will be freed up to be creative, but will not play in a lulling way but will play strongly with high intensity. The Vietnamese team will not have to mechanically bounce around all the time, but when needed, they will rotate, make quick and surprising changes of direction with clear intentions of breaking through.

HOANG DUC KEY

The performance of U.22 Vietnam at SEA Games 32 illustrates quite specifically the role and task of the midfield. The fact that Thai Son and Nhat Nam both scored goals at SEA Games 32 shows that they are not constrained by the simple task of blocking but play much more freely. Mr. Tung said: "Coach Troussier's requirement is that the players have good endurance, good physical strength, move continuously and must perform the required movements at high intensity. This means that

The midfielders must not only be skillful but also strong, able to adapt to the style of play with group movements and very fast transitions. In the past, the Vietnamese team passed a lot of long passes, but now we will need more creativity to connect from the goalkeeper and defenders.

The Vietnamese team currently has good midfielders such as Hoang Duc, Hai Huy, Thanh Long, Tuan Anh. The key player in the game will certainly be Hoang Duc. No one is better than him at the moment, when he shows maturity in vision, tactics, physique and fitness in the Viettel club shirt. An interesting candidate who can play alongside Hoang Duc in the center of midfield in the 3-4-3 formation could be Le Pham Thanh Long. Not only because Thanh Hoa club is playing well, but the former HAGL midfielder himself is very impressive in playing with high intensity, with mobility and reasonableness in ball situations all over the field.

The competitor for Thanh Long will be Hai Huy. The midfielder of Hai Phong Club is less competitive than Thanh Long, but in return plays well in attack and Hoang Duc can play more defensively. Tuan Anh still has a chance but the opportunity may be lower than the two names mentioned above when it is necessary to play with high intensity. Quang Hai used to play in the middle of the field but not always well. The most suitable position for him is in the attack line, slightly off the wing."
