The Vietnam national football team will face Hong Kong (China) in the first friendly match under coach Philippe Troussier. The match between Vietnam and Hong Kong (China) will take place at 7:30 p.m. today, June 15, live onFPT Play and VTV5. VTC News e-newspaper will update the latest developments and images of the match between Vietnam and Hong Kong (China).
The 3-month period of work - mainly training the U23 team - is certainly not long enough for Coach Troussier to build a new and smooth playing style for the Vietnam team. However, with a force of qualified and experienced players from the "golden generation", Mr. Troussier can achieve better results than the performance of the U23 team at the 32nd SEA Games. Hoang Duc, Quang Hai... can absorb the new tactical requirements faster than their juniors.
Vietnam team faces Hong Kong team (China).
A match-winning opponent like the Hong Kong team (China) helps the Vietnamese team avoid psychological pressure. Obviously, as it is the debut match, Mr. Troussier still needs to win. But the most important goal for the French coach is still to test the technical aspects. Most likely, Coach Troussier will use the squad that he considers optimal, then try other options.
The players have to get used to controlling the ball more, passing the ball more and limiting long passes. Mr. Troussier's ultimate goal is to help the players understand and play football according to a new philosophy, in contrast to his predecessor Park Hang Seo.
The opponents of the Vietnamese team are not strong. Hong Kong (China) is only ranked 147th on the FIFA scoring system, 52 places lower than the Vietnamese team. The value of this team's squad, according to Transfermarkt, is only 4.6 million euros, 2/3 of the home team's.
The arrival of coach Jorn Andersen has significantly changed the strength of the Hong Kong (China) team. They unexpectedly won the right to participate in the 2023 Asian Cup. Mr. Andersen brought the discipline and science of European football, helping the team, which was weak in defense, become more solid.
