Troussier's tough message

MR. T ROUSSIER'S CONFIDENCE

The Vietnamese team is not in good form, having lost 5 of their last 6 matches. In contrast to Vietnam is the destructive power of Japan, which has won all 10 matches in all competitions. However, coach Troussier is still confident in his players' tactics and abilities.

"I believe the Vietnamese team has a chance to get a good result. We are not only preparing for the match against Japan. All three group stage matches will decide whether Vietnam will continue or not. If we do not have a good result against Japan, we have not finished or run out of chances. According to the tournament's regulations, the third-placed team still has a chance to continue. Four years ago, Vietnam also won a ticket to continue in this way, and even had a bit of luck when passing the group stage thanks to a better fair-play score than their opponent. Don't think that this match will go as planned and there will be no surprises. Football always has surprises. Against Japan, we may lose 9 out of 10 matches, but Vietnam can get a positive result," affirmed coach Troussier.

Coach Troussier reunites with the Japanese team after many years

The French strategist believes in his students' abilities when he commented: "However, more than anyone else, the Japanese themselves understand that the strength that creates success lies in the collective factor. 20 years ago, when I coached the Japanese team, many people in Europe also asked me how good the Japanese players were. To help Japan win, my approach is to improve the collective strength. I understand the weakness of Vietnamese players, which is that they are playing in the domestic league, which is not at a high level. However, I believe they meet the basic factors: passing, running, communicating, connecting according to the collective direction set by the coach. If we have positive results, it will be a collective achievement, instead of an individual one. They will see the answer of the Vietnamese team".

Mr. Troussier also added about the tactics that will be used: "We know we have to play our best, control the ball as best as possible. The goal is to defend well, try to occupy space and take advantage. With the opponent Japan, we have to start by adapting, trying to play aggressively, not giving the opponent confidence to play. Even if we only have 20% of the ball, Vietnam still has a chance. Let's wait and see."

MR . ORIYASU IS CAREFUL

On the opposite side, coach Hajime Moriyasu of the Japanese team expressed his opinion: "Coach Troussier used to lead the Japanese team. He understands Japanese football very well. He has researched us very carefully, but of course, we have also researched and learned about them carefully. My assistants have worked very hard. The two teams have prepared well. Therefore, I believe that the Japanese and Vietnamese teams will have a good, fierce and high-intensity match."

Japan team is very strong

Mr. Moriyasu said that to achieve the goal of winning the Asian Cup, the Japanese team will have to try one match at a time. "Japan needs to overcome 7 matches to reach the final, the players have to solve each challenge one by one. Japan will look at the overall journey as well, for the championship goal that we set."
