In the press conference before the match between Vietnam and Syria, the French coach revealed the possibility of using Cong Phuong and Van Toan, and praised Quang Hai's fighting spirit in the previous 1-0 win over Hong Kong (China). However, against the technical and powerful Syrian team, it was difficult for the Vietnamese players to deploy a ball control and passing style of play.

Although the match between Vietnam and Syria is only a friendly, fans are looking forward to the performance of coach Philippe Troussier and his team. This match is an opportunity to test the squad, playing style and the desire to reach the next level of the Vietnam team in the direction of competing for a place in the 2026 World Cup.

Watch the match between Vietnam and Syria live at 7:30 p.m. on June 20, on VTV5, FPT Play and TV360.
