Yesterday (December 25), the Vietnam Football Federation announced a preliminary list of 34 players preparing for the 2023 Asian Cup. In this list, fans expressed regret for the absence of many quality players.
Ho Tan Tai
Ho Tan Tai has not been called up by coach Troussier in recent training sessions. This is a regrettable absence because he is one of the best right-backs in Vietnam at the moment.

The player born in 1997 has always maintained stable performance and contributed greatly to helping Hanoi Police win the V-League. Recently, Tan Tai was pulled into the central midfield position and he still showed good adaptation. However, it seems that Tan Tai is not suitable for Coach Troussier's playing style.
Nguyen Van Quyet
Van Quyet has been a leader for Hanoi FC for many years. In 7 matches in the V-League this season, he has contributed one goal and two assists. In recent years, Van Quyet has not had luck with the Vietnam national team.
Nguyen Phong Hong Duy
Hong Duy is an important factor for Nam Dinh this season. The former defender of Hoang Anh Gia Lai has not missed a single match. He has scored a goal and contributed an assist. Good crossing ability is Hong Duy's strength.

Nguyen Van Hoang
The goalkeeper of Hanoi FC once made a strong impression in the match against Urawa Reds in the AFC Champions League. After taking the position from Tan Truong, Van Hoang played steadily in the goal of the capital team. However, the appearance of Nguyen Filip has closed Van Hoang's chance to be called up to the national team.
Bui Tien Dung
Bui Tien Dung has always been a mainstay in the defense of the Vietnam national team under coach Park Hang Seo. In recent training sessions of the team, Tien Dung was also called up and started. This central defender's ability to judge situations is highly appreciated. Therefore, it is surprising that Viettel's central defender is not included in the list of the Vietnam national team.
Nguyen Cong Phuong
Cong Phuong has not played a single minute in the Japanese national championship this season for Yokohama FC. However, this striker is still a high-profile factor. Cong Phuong's goal against Palestine in September is a typical example.

Nguyen Hai Huy
After moving to Binh Duong, Hai Huy still showed great form. This player has played impressively in the midfield, contributing to helping the team fly high this season. The former Hai Phong player is excellent in controlling the ball and launching attacks.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will gather in Hanoi on December 31. The whole team will practice at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center, before flying to Qatar for training on January 5, 2024. On January 9, Coach Troussier and his team will play a friendly match against Kyrgyzstan.
At the 2023 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team is in Group D with Japan, Iraq and Indonesia. In the upcoming tournament, Coach Troussier's team will face Japan (6:30 p.m. on January 14, 2024), Indonesia (9:30 p.m. on January 19), and Iraq (6:30 p.m. on January 24).
