Coach Troussier made a strong statement before the match with the Indonesian team.

According to coach Troussier, Vietnam is currently 2 points ahead of Indonesia but has only 2 home matches left, while Indonesia has 3 matches. Vietnam is also under a lot of pressure after the unsuccessful Asian Cup 2023. However, he affirmed that now is the time for him and his students to show all they have.

Coach Troussier said: “Up to now, I have worked with the Vietnamese players for a full year. We have accumulated experience and lessons. Although the results at the 2023 Asian Cup were not as expected, the Vietnamese team still has positive points, including in the match against Indonesia, we could have scored against Indonesia. The whole team is very confident and will try our best to maintain that spirit for tomorrow's match.”
