Audiences are eager for Vietnam to win, hoping Coach Troussier will restore their faith!

Coach Troussier's 6 official matches with the Vietnamese team, up to this point, include 3 matches in the 2nd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia: Winning 2-0 against the Philippines, losing 0-1 against Iraq and losing 0-1 against Indonesia. Along with the 3 matches in the World Cup qualifying round are 3 matches in the 2023 Asian Cup: Losing 2-4 against Japan, losing 0-1 against Indonesia and losing 2-3 against Iraq.

In these 6 matches, coach Troussier's team lost 5 matches and only won 1 match, which was a 2-0 victory over the Philippines in November 2023.

Also in those 6 matches, the Vietnamese team under coach Troussier conceded 10 goals, an average of 2.67 goals per match. Coach Troussier's team scored 6 goals in those 6 matches, an average of 1 goal per match.

Losing 6 consecutive matches: Why is coach Philippe Troussier's Vietnam team in such a state?

Vietnam team has bad stats in the last 6 matches

It is worth mentioning that in the 2 times meeting Indonesia, once in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup and once in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, the Vietnamese team did not score any goals.

That is, coach Troussier's team can hardly score against opponents who pay attention to studying the playing style of the Vietnamese team, opponents who know how to predict the attacking style of the team led by the French coach.

If we count all the matches he led the Vietnamese team in, including friendly matches, Mr. Troussier has gone through 11 matches, winning only 2 and losing 9.

Vietnam's victories under coach Troussier, in addition to defeating the Philippines 2-0 in the World Cup qualifiers in November 2023, included a 2-0 victory over Palestine in a friendly match last September.

In addition to losing to Indonesia twice in official tournaments, there is another weak team that the Vietnamese team lost to during the time coach Troussier was in charge, which was the 1-2 loss to Kyrgyzstan right before the 2023 Asian Cup. The reason people paid little attention to this match was because it was a practice match to prepare for the Asian championship, taking place in Qatar.

Quietly returning home after defeat, the Vietnamese team focuses on the second leg

Also in 11 matches under coach Troussier, the Vietnamese team conceded 22 goals (an average of 2 goals/match) and scored only 9 goals (an average of 0.82 goals/match).

In 11 matches under coach Troussier, only 2 matches helped the team keep a clean sheet, which were 2 wins with the same score of 2-0 against Palestine (friendly) and the Philippines (World Cup qualifier). That shows that the ability to protect the goal of the Vietnamese team under coach Troussier is quite poor. The match in which the Vietnamese team conceded the most goals out of the 11 matches mentioned above was the 0-6 loss to South Korea, which took place in October 2023.

In addition to the national team, coach Troussier's U.23 team also had poor defense, especially in aerial defense, at the 32nd SEA Games in May 2023, in Cambodia.

From receiving a lot of expectations when signing a contract with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) more than a year ago, now the trust in Coach Philippe Troussier from fans and the Vietnamese football community is at a very low level. Therefore, Coach Troussier should regain that trust with a convincing win against Indonesia on March 26. As he once affirmed, winning and the way to win are equally important.
