Korean newspaper reveals surprising secret about coach Troussier before match against Vietnam

Right before the match between Vietnam and Korea, Chosun newspaper had very positive reviews about coach Troussier.

Coach Troussier was once interested in the Korean Football Federation.

Notably, this newspaper revealed that the Korean Football Federation once targeted the French coach.

“After the 2010 World Cup in South Africa ended, the Korea Football Association put Coach Troussier on the list of candidates to replace Huh Jung-moo to lead the Korean team. At that time, the "White Witch" was working as the Football Director for the Japanese Ryukyu Club.

However, at the last minute, the Federation decided to choose coach Cho Kwang-rae. However, the coach born in 1954 did not leave any significant mark and had to leave after 1 year in office," Chosun newspaper revealed.

Besides, the Korean newspaper also gave the Vietnamese team coach many compliments.

“The 68-year-old coach has 40 years of experience in coaching in Europe, Asia, and Africa and has achieved certain successes in his career.

While leading Japan, Coach Troussier helped the team win 2 matches and draw 1 match against Korea. Throughout his career, he always pursued a controlling and attacking style of play,” Chosun continued.

According to the schedule, the match between Vietnam and Korea will take place at 6:00 p.m. on October 17.

In the upcoming match, the Vietnamese team will be missing many key players such as Tien Linh (suspended), Quang Hai and Que Ngoc Hai (injured).
