At the beginning of the press conference, Coach Troussier said that the Vietnamese team is ready for the 2023 Asian Cup. Evaluating the opponent, the Japanese team, Mr. Troussier said: "I have experience working and understand the strength of the Japanese team. Almost all of their players are playing in top European leagues. The Japanese team's performance is also very high. For the Vietnamese team to achieve positive results, the players must make more than 100% effort."
According to Coach Troussier, the Japanese understand that the success factor comes from the collective. Vietnamese players currently play domestically, not abroad, but Vietnamese players have the basic factor of being able to pass and connect, which is the spirit of teamwork and coordination. If the Vietnamese team does not have the desired result against Japan, the opportunity is not over yet. He emphasized that the Vietnamese team must play their best, trying to control the ball as best as possible. The team's goal is to defend well, try to occupy space and take advantage.
Regarding the preparation of the Vietnamese team, the French coach said: “I believe that the players are well prepared, as well as have a spirit of pride and self-respect, representing the image of Vietnam. The team has an average age in the youngest group of the tournament. However, I feel the high spirit of desire and fighting spirit of the Vietnamese players.”
Coach Philippe Troussier affirmed a strong message: "Japan is a world- class team but we did not come here to enjoy the match or travel."
Coach Troussier also prepared for the scenario of Vietnam losing to Japan. He said that the journey would not only include the match with Japan but also two matches with Indonesia and Iraq.
"The Vietnamese team is not only preparing for Japan but also the next two matches. If we don't get the desired result against Japan, everything is not over yet. The Asian Cup still has opportunities for the third-placed teams in the group stage, and there are many factors that will decide Vietnam's chances of advancing," said coach Troussier.
On the Japanese team's side, head coach Hajime Moriyasu believes that the match against Vietnam on the opening day of Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup will be exciting because of Mr. Philippe Troussier. "Mr. Philippe Troussier used to be the head coach of the Japanese team, so he understands our football very well. Surely he has finished analyzing the Japanese team by now. However, my colleagues and I have worked hard to study the Vietnamese team. Therefore, tomorrow's match will be a good match," said coach Hajime Moriyasu.
According to the 2023 Asian Cup schedule, the Vietnamese team will face the Japanese team at 6:30 p.m. on January 14. The match will be broadcast live on FPT platforms - the copyright owner of the Asian Cup in Vietnam and VTV channels./.
