The names of the players called up will be announced live on the Vietnam Football Federation's broadcast, then connected directly to the "bridgeheads" of some players so that Mr. Philippe Troussier's students can express their emotions.
This is the way of announcing the list that has been applied by some teams such as France and Brazil, but it has appeared for the first time in Vietnam. That shows that Coach Troussier's team is trying to innovate from the most basic steps such as image.
Coach Troussier
Over the past 9 months under the French coach, the Vietnamese team has changed both in terms of players and playing style. The philosophy of confident ball control, weaving and passing to develop the playing style, along with a squad of young players taking turns wearing the national team jersey are the differences that Mr. Troussier brings. However, in terms of "output", that is, the quality of play and results, the Vietnamese team is still at a halfway point with 4 wins and 4 losses in the last 8 matches. There are positive signs, but mixed with many worries, from physical strength, defensive ability as well as the stability of the playing style which is strange compared to the playing habits of many Vietnamese players.
Therefore, the 2023 Asian Cup is a big challenge, but also a "gate" that the Vietnamese team must overcome if they want to "become a dragon". The team will face Japan, Indonesia and Iraq in the group stage. These are all difficult challenges, in which Japan is currently the number 1 team in Asia, and Iraq just defeated Coach Troussier and his team at My Dinh Stadium. The Vietnamese team has a "new bottle", a modern playing style and a mindset ready to welcome youth and new things. But as for the "wine", the players, the French coach is still patiently waiting.
Striker Tien Linh (22) is gradually regaining his form.
The good news for Coach Troussier is that many of his favorite players have played regularly and left their mark. In round 7 of the V-League 2023 - 2024 last weekend, Vo Minh Trong was the author of the only goal with a clever free kick, helping Binh Duong Club win 1-0 against Thanh Hoa Club. The left-back born in 2001 has played all 7 matches (582 minutes) since the beginning of the tournament, in the top 4 players playing most regularly for Binh Duong Club.
Young player Nguyen Dinh Bac also played well with the goal that sealed the 2-0 victory for the new Quang Nam team against Hai Phong FC. Dinh Bac scored 2 goals in 6 matches in his first season in the V-League. Mr. Troussier's trust has produced "sweet fruit", as it has given the young players plenty of motivation to prove themselves. Thai Son also started all 7 matches for Thanh Hoa FC with 606 minutes of playing time (3rd most in the team). Young defender Ho Van Cuong, after a difficult start, has now played 5 matches for the Hanoi Police FC.
Experienced players like Hoang Duc, Tien Linh, Tuan Hai are also in good form, scoring and assisting regularly. Central defenders like Viet Anh, Thanh Binh, Tuan Tai are playing well, although their home clubs have not had good results. As V-League is the only training ground for the Asian Cup, the good form of the players in this playground will play a decisive role for success.
