Coach Troussier looks at striker Tien Linh

Tien Linh and Viet Cuong both scored for Binh Duong Club against Ho Chi Minh City Club.

In the preliminary round of the 2023 - 2024 National Cup, coach Le Huynh Duc surprisingly left out striker Ibara Prince, who was not in good physical condition, to use the domestic striker pair Tien Linh - Viet Cuong in the away match at Thong Nhat Stadium of Ho Chi Minh City Club.

The result was perfect, when both Tien Linh and Viet Cuong "opened fire", helping the team from Thu Dau Mot overcome the "Red Battleship" to set foot in the round of 16 of the 2023 - 2024 National Cup.

That would be a great encouragement for coach Le Huynh Duc to seriously consider giving the opportunity to play at the same time to two strikers who were both produced from Binh Duong Club's training center.

Viet Cuong's goal-scoring run

If arranged this way, coach Le Huynh Duc will use the remaining two foreign players: central defender Janclesio to pair with Que Ngoc Hai in the center of defense, and midfielder Edouard to play on the left to balance Duy Thuong on the opposite right wing.

At that time, the central midfield pair of the team from Thu Dau Mot will be naturalized player Trung Hieu and conductor Hai Huy. With the addition of two attacking full-backs Minh Trong (left) and Quang Hung (right), Binh Duong Club will for the first time in V-League 2023 - 2024 launch its strongest lineup.

Previously, in the first 3 rounds, they were always missing a few key players such as Que Ngoc Hai (injured) or Janclesio (suspended). But in the away match at Pleiku Stadium on December 3, Mr. Duc could be confident because all the key players were in good form, thanks to being rotated and used appropriately in the match on November 28 at Thong Nhat Stadium.

Coach Le Huynh Duc is upgrading the playing style for Binh Duong Club.

Returning to Binh Duong Club's attack, in fact, this will be where coach Philippe Troussier will pay special attention as Tien Linh has played well when given the opportunity to start in two consecutive matches against the Philippines and Iraq.

Meanwhile, former U.23 Vietnam player Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong has improved a lot, accumulating good physical strength to help him develop his speed and long strides.

In particular, the situation of jumping up and down to score a volley against Hai Phong Club in round 2 of V-League 2023 - 2024 will certainly make a strong impression on the 68-year-old coach who is always looking for suitable new elements for the Vietnamese national team's attack.

Tien Linh opened the scoring at Thong Nhat Stadium on November 28.

The fact that both domestic strikers scored in the same match certainly made Coach Le Huynh Duc and Philippe Troussier very happy, especially the image of Tien Linh not celebrating after scoring but running to hug and thank his brother Viet Cuong showed the good understanding between them.

Playing at a high-altitude stadium like Pleiku Stadium is never easy, especially when the home team HAGL, who is at the bottom of the table, will do their best to find a home win, creating momentum for the next stage.

Let's wait and see if coach Le Huynh Duc will continue to use the domestic striker pair Tien Linh - Viet Cuong while the highly anticipated striker Ibara Prince is still waiting to accumulate more physical strength?
