Accordingly, 4 out of 30 players who went to Qatar for training before the 2023 Asian Cup had to say goodbye to their teammates: midfielders Pham Van Luan, Trieu Viet Hung, Le Van Do and striker Bui Vi Hao.
These cases are not surprising because they have difficulty competing for positions. Van Luan, Viet Hung and Van Do are not highly regarded in midfield, while striker Vi Hao still has many limitations in terms of physique, fitness and playing experience.

Thus, Duy Manh's injury is still kept. He can practice normally with his teammates. However, the possibility of the Hanoi FC midfielder playing in the match against Japan is still uncertain.
The French coach was very careful in selecting the team's personnel. He not only based on the training process and the performance of the players in the recent "rehearsal" friendly match with Kyrgyzstan, but also observed the training session on the afternoon of January 11 to ensure that his decision was correct.
Regarding the preparation of the Vietnamese team, coach Philippe Troussier held a meeting to dissect the advantages and disadvantages of the team's playing style and positions on the field through video analysis of the match with Kyrgyzstan.
He expressed his confidence in the progress of his students and affirmed that all the players present in Qatar met his expectations in implementing the team's playing style.

At the 2023 Asian Cup, the opponents are considered stronger, but to be able to win against the Vietnamese team is not easy.
"Vietnam's spirit is to never give up. Let's keep that spirit as we enter the Asian Cup," coach Philippe Troussier emphasized.
In the training session on January 11, coach Philippe Troussier continued to hone the ball control and proactive playing skills that he and his colleagues are building for the team.
He also spent a lot of time practicing more coordination in attack and defense, increasing the ability to connect between the lines.
