Talking about Tuan Hai's talent, AFC wrote: "Under coach Philippe Troussier, Pham Tuan Hai is a quality addition to the already talented attack of the Vietnam national team. The Hanoi FC player is expected to continue to show high performance after his performance in the recent AFC Champions League 2023/24 group stage."

Since coach Troussier took charge of the Vietnamese team, Tuan Hai has played an even more important role. He is a pillar in the "Golden Star Warriors" style of play.

AFC added: "Tuan Hai has been in good form in tournaments. In the AFC Champions League group stage, the 25-year-old player scored 4 goals and 1 assist. In which, this player scored the decisive goal to help Hanoi FC defeat the champion Urawa Red Diamonds.

This shows Tuan Hai's talent. Vietnamese fans can completely expect the Hanoi FC star to shine at the 2023 Asian Cup."

Tuan Hai grew up in the youth training center of Hanoi FC. This player debuted for the Vietnam national team in the match against Oman at the end of 2021. Up to this point, the striker born in 1998 has played 22 matches for the Vietnam national team and scored 4 goals. This year, he contributed two goals against Syria and Palestine.

After impressive performances for Hanoi FC and the Vietnam national team, Tuan Hai is a strong candidate for the title "Vietnam Golden Ball 2023".

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).
