Although quite tired due to the long travel from Dalian (China) to Suwon, the players still maintained their high spirits and showed concentration in the exercises. All are trying their best to have the best preparation for the friendly match with the Korean team.

In this training session, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai did not participate in the training session but stayed at the hotel to continue treatment to recover from a leg muscle injury. With his current condition, this midfielder will miss the opportunity to play in the match against the host country's team.

Tonight, October 16, the team will have a practice session at the Suwon World Cup stadium, where the friendly match with the Korean team will take place. This match will also conclude the series of matches during the FIFA Days of the Vietnamese team, aiming for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup which will start next November and then the 2023 Asian Cup Finals.

Coach Troussier assessed the match against the home team on the evening of October 17: “Against the Korean team, we need to improve and further consolidate our defensive organization in open situations. Against strong teams like Uzbekistan or Korea, I think the team can only control 30-35% of the ball. The remaining time without the ball must have good defensive discipline and organization.”
