VTC News e-newspaper updates earliest and continuously images and developments of the Vietnam vs Uzbekistan match.
The Vietnamese team entered their second match of October with many worries from fans. The loss to China raised many questions about the playing style that coach Philippe Troussier is building.
The Vietnamese team adapted well to the transition from defensive counter-attacking to ball control and proactive coordination of short kicks. However, this style of play has not been operated smoothly. The ball deployment from the home field can be considered okay, but the attacks in the opponent's field are very limited.
The Vietnamese team faces a difficult challenge called Uzbekistan.
Besides, Coach Troussier is still in the process of testing the squad. Although the 2026 World Cup qualifiers start next month, fans cannot yet imagine the main structure of the Vietnamese team under the French coach.
On the other side of the front line, the Uzbekistan team will be a difficult challenge for coach Troussier and his team. In this training session, the Central Asian team will not have striker Eldor Shomurodov of Cagliari, but they still have a group of stars playing in Europe such as Abdukodir Khusanov, Husniddin Aliqulov, Otabek Shukurov, Rustam Ashurmatov.
In the most recent friendly match, Uzbekistan drew 3-3 with Mexico. The Central Asian team is in the top 10 in Asia and is considered stronger than China - the opponent who just beat Vietnam 2-0 a few days ago. Therefore, Coach Troussier and his team face a big challenge.
The chances of Vietnam winning are not high with their current form. However, with the nature of a private friendly match, this is still an opportunity for Coach Troussier to continue to complete the final steps before finalizing the squad and having an effective tactical plan towards future goals.
