In terms of the group stage, the Vietnamese team has more advantages than Indonesia. However, coach Philippe Troussier and his students will certainly be cautious as the "Island of Ten Thousand Islands" team has changed a lot compared to the 2023 Asian Cup (the tournament in which Indonesia defeated the Vietnamese team 1-0 and advanced to the group stage for the first time).
Despite the absence of captain Asnawi and the departure of three key defenders, Elkan Baggott, Jordi Amat and Yance Sayuri, on the night of March 18, the Indonesian Football Federation announced that Ragnar Oratmangoen and Thom Haye had completed the naturalization procedures and were ready to play in the second leg (March 26 at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi). Now, coach Shin Tae-yong has 11 naturalized players, eligible to play in the FIFA Days in March.
Captain Asnawi (number 14) is absent but the Indonesian team has many additions.
On the morning of March 19, the Vietnamese team traveled to Indonesia to prepare for the first leg match. The day before, coach Philippe Troussier eliminated 5 players including: Cong Phuong, Duy Manh, Tien Anh, Hai Long and Tuan Duong. They will return to their teams and will not be registered to play the second leg match on March 26.
The French coach also reaffirmed that the goal of the Vietnamese team in the next two matches is to win, not to "draw" with the opponent.
