The same goes for the Vietnam team, which will participate with the best of Vietnamese football at the moment. Although some players are injured, Coach Troussier and the coaching staff have screened and selected the best players.

Before the 2023 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team witnessed a series of key players having to say goodbye due to injuries. The latest cases are Que Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Tien Linh. Sharing about this, Do Hung Dung said: “The lack of players is a common problem, not only for the Vietnamese team but also for other teams. When one person's opportunity passes, it is also the time for another. Ngoc Hai and Tien Linh are the pillars of the Vietnamese team. But when they say goodbye due to injuries, the opportunity will be given to young players. I believe they will complete the task that Ngoc Hai and Tien Linh left behind.”
At the 2023 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team will meet the Japanese team in the opening match. According to Do Hung Dung, the Japanese team has many famous players, however, when playing on the field, it is completely normal for the players to face each other. "We consider it important to play for the flag and the shirt, of course, being able to compete with world-class players will help us learn many lessons and gain good experiences from a quality arena like the Asian Cup."
This afternoon, January 4, head coach Philippe Troussier will announce the official list of 30 players for the Vietnamese team participating in the 2023 Asian Cup. The team will travel to Qatar for training before the 2023 Asian Cup finals on January 5. During the training period in Qatar, the team will have a friendly match with Kyrgyzstan on January 9.
