On the evening of June 20, the Vietnamese team defeated Syria in the second friendly match under coach Troussier.

Compared to the victory over Hong Kong (China), the Vietnamese team played better, especially in their diverse attacking ability.

The only goal of the match was scored by Tuan Hai, also a masterpiece.

However, coach Troussier did not directly praise his student who is playing for Hanoi Club.

“The style of play emphasizes the collective, but without outstanding individuals to make a difference, it is difficult for the collective.

Not only Tuan Hai, but the players used, especially those who came on as substitutes in the second half, all played well," said Mr. Troussier.

This message from the French coach once again shows that, in his philosophy, no star stands above the collective.

Mr. Troussier also paid special attention to Van Toan, the player who entered the field in the second half and had a pretty good performance.

“When he entered the field, Toan started on the left wing and gradually moved to the right position in attack. I believe that with his efforts and technical qualities, Van Toan will be an important player for the team in the future.”

However, coach Troussier still admitted that he and his students still have a lot to improve.

“Due to the short time of the team's training, the players still have errors in coordination when misunderstanding each other, leading to incorrect handling in some situations that can create opportunities or end the game.

But this is normal when players have to follow different requirements compared to before," continued coach Troussier.

Overall, the French strategist said he felt satisfied with the victory at Thien Truong Stadium.

“I had a little bit of pressure before the game. But today, the team kept a clean sheet and scored the winning goal from an open play situation.

I am very pleased that the team has just won and achieved the goal of how to win,” Mr. Troussier emphasized.
