The V-League 2023-2024 will resume on February 17th with the ninth round of matches. The matches from February 17th until the Vietnamese national team reconvenes to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region in March will be an opportunity for players to showcase their abilities to coach Torussier for a place in the national team.
Quite a few players missed the 2023 Asian Cup due to injury, including center-backs Que Ngoc Hai and Bui Tien Dung, midfielders Nguyen Duc Chien and Nguyen Hoang Duc, striker Nguyen Tien Linh, and goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.
They are all highly skilled players, and their absence from the recent Asian Championship was extremely regrettable.
Hoang Duc's absence from the 2023 Asian Cup is a regrettable loss.
Others, present in Qatar but yet to have a chance to showcase their abilities, such as right-back Ho Tan Tai and midfielder Nguyen Hai Long (who haven't played a single minute), are also present. Others have played but haven't had much playing time with the national team, like midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long (red card in the match against Indonesia, suspended for the next match against Iraq), who also want to continue proving themselves to gain more trust from coach Troussier.

Ho Tan Tai has yet to show much under coach Troussier.
From the French coach's perspective, perhaps this is the time for Troussier to be more open-minded and diverse in his selection of players of different age groups for the national team, instead of focusing solely on young players and "rejuvenating" the squad as he has done in previous tournaments.
The Vietnamese national team's playing style has gradually taken shape, and players of different ages now understand it. When they join the national team, these players will consciously play according to Coach Philippe Troussier's intentions, so the French coach doesn't need to worry about what he communicates to the players not going as planned.
The most essential thing for any national team in the world is to assemble a team with the best players, the cream of the crop of football, to fulfill an international mission.
With their professional skills and experience gained from competing in various international tournaments, it is believed that players like Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Tien Linh, Ho Tan Tai, etc., will know what to do to meet the professional requirements set by Coach Troussier.
Coach Philippe Troussier has the opportunity to "recruit players" when the V-League returns, in preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The upcoming rounds of the V-League will be the final rehearsal for the players before they participate in the crucial matches of the Vietnamese national team against Indonesia on March 21st and 26th, as part of the World Cup qualifiers.
These matches could also decide the fate of coach Philippe Troussier as head coach of the Vietnamese national team, so we hope that the French coach will broaden his selection of players for the team, for the sake of the quality of the Vietnamese team and for Troussier himself.
