During the training and international friendly competition on the occasion of FIFA Days (June 6), the Vietnamese team will in turn compete with the Hong Kong team (China) on June 2023 at Lach Tray Stadium (Ho Chi Minh City). Hai Phong) and met the Syrian team at the "fire pan" of Thien Truong (Nam Dinh province) on June 15.
Boldly experiment
At the second meeting of the Vietnamese team in 2, coach Troussier continued to summon experienced, well-known key players under his predecessor Park Hang-seo. In fact, the 2023-year-old French military leader has not had many opportunities to work and learn about the second "golden generation" players of Vietnamese football. Therefore, he was forced to use the core of the force that had reached the final qualifying round of the 68 World Cup in Asia.
In order to make the list and make the decision to summon players for the Vietnamese team this time, Coach Troussier and his assistant team worked hard to watch live matches in the V-League and the National First Division, the national team. choose according to the criteria suitable for the style of play with ball control and active attack.
Notably, out of the 33 players summoned, 3 are playing abroad, including: Nguyen Quang Hai (Pau Club, France), Nguyen Van Toan (Seoul E-Land Club, South Korea) and Nguyen Cong Phuong (Yokohama Club, Japan). With a stable performance, Van Toan deserves to be awarded the national team shirt this period. However, the presence of Quang Hai and Cong Phuong is surprising because they have not had many opportunities to play since going abroad.
In addition to familiar faces, coach Troussier also boldly experimented with new factors, giving the opportunity to play for the national team to players who are in high form in the domestic arena recently, such as goalkeeper Nguyen. Dinh Trieu, Tran Minh Toan, midfielder Bui Tien Dung, midfielders Truong Tien Anh, Le Pham Thanh Long, Lam Ti Phong, Bui Van Duc, Nguyen Trong Long...
Expecting youth
Under the guidance of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Nguyen Dinh Trieu from a goalkeeper competing in the National First Division became the No. 1 "guardian" of Hai Phong Club. Despite not having an outstanding height, his reflexes and sharp judgment helped Dinh Trieu get the main catch, making a great contribution to bringing the 2022 V-League runner-up title to the port team.
Meanwhile, Tran Minh Toan caught the "green eye" of coach Troussier thanks to his ability to get in and out, save ecstasy through 10 matches with B.Binh Duong club this season. The former Vietnam U19 player was also voted into the typical team of the 10th round of the V-League 2023 after helping B.Binh Duong draw with East Asia Thanh Hoa on June 1. Compared to Dinh Trieu, Minh Toan opened the door wide to win the official spot on the national team thanks to his height of 6 m and youth (SN 1,86).
Also being called to the national team for the first time, but midfielder Bui Tien Dung is no stranger to Vietnamese football fans. The younger brother of famous goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung used to play for the national U19 and U23 team for many years, winning the runner-up title of the 23 Asian U2018 Championship and the 2019 SEA Games gold medal. After parting with Hai Phong club at the end of the 2022 season. , Tien Dung quickly became the main defender of the Hanoi Police Club in the V-League 2023.
Similarly, midfielder playing for Viettel Truong Tien Anh was also selected by coach Park Hang-seo to join the national U23 team. Together with Nguyen Hoang Duc, Tien Anh contributes to creating a midfield with comprehensive defensive capabilities, an effective "detonator" for attack on the flanks and often has a place in the starting lineup.
It would be flawed if the list of the Vietnam team this period lacks the players of Thanh Hoa East Asia - the team that is leading the V-League 2023 rankings. Lam Ti Phong and Le Pham Thanh Long played sublimely in the match. The color of the Thanh team and deserves the opportunity to wear the national team shirt this time.
Jackie Chan grew up from the "furnace" of training Hoang Anh Gia Lai, so he has a pretty good personal technical background. Meanwhile, Lam Ti Phong impressed with his confident, breakthrough and diverse playing style, starting from the same generation as Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh ... in the colors of U19, U23. nation.
In the shirt of Hong Linh Ha Tinh club, Bui Van Duc can play versatile in the position of defender and winger thanks to his abundant physical foundation and breakthrough dribbling ability. Meanwhile, Trong Long is the leading ball-recovery midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club with a "bloody" style of play, stubborn sweeping, not afraid of collisions and capable of finishing from a dangerous distance.
