Coach Troussier successfully transformed the spirit of the Vietnamese team

The Vietnamese team put their hands on their chests during the flag-raising ceremony before the 1-0 win over Syria.

"The Vietnamese team will only open its doors and make use of those who truly desire to contribute," was one of the first very clear and strong shares of coach Philippe Troussier when taking over the role of "captain".

With 3 years of experience working in Vietnam as Technical Director of PVF as well as in charge of U.19 Vietnam, Coach Philippe Troussier clearly understands the root cause of the lack of desire in the Vietnamese team, partly due to rigidity in tactics as well as personnel.

That is inevitable because the reign of Coach Park Hang-seo lasting 5 years is a record, because normally the cycle of most national team coaches is about 3 years.

It is also appropriate that VFF and coach Park Hang-seo later parted ways, especially when the next generation has become "less attractive" like the U.22 Vietnam generation that lost to... Cambodia.

Mr. Troussier talks with captain Que Ngoc Hai

With a strong, yet open-minded and psychologically correct working style, coach Philippe Troussier frankly shared with the whole team about applying a new playing style, which will create a personnel revolution.

The proactive, high-pressing style of play was demonstrated by U.22 Vietnam at SEA Games 32, and has since been upgraded to the national team version, debuting in two friendly matches with Hong Kong and Syria.

If in the joint training session with U.23 Vietnam in March, the squad for the AFF Cup 2022 was kept intact, this time coach Troussier has begun to leave his mark on the team.

In total, there were 7 names of U.23 Vietnam called up to the Vietnam national team by the French coach, including those who even played in the starting lineup such as Tuan Tai, Thai Son, Van Tung, besides the group of substitutes such as Van Khang, Van Toan...

In addition, Mr. Troussier also opened the door to famous players in V-League such as Hai Huy, Tien Anh, Tuan Anh in addition to the group playing abroad such as Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Quang Hai.

That revolution took place in a methodical manner, with reasonable adjustments depending on the performance of each player on the field with the biggest goal of improving the quality of the new playing style for the Vietnam team.

Looking back at the internal friendly matches, 2 friendly matches with Hai Phong Club and Hanoi Police, 2 international friendly matches... Mr. Troussier actually fulfilled the message on the first day of training, which was to renew 40% of the Vietnamese team's strength, in a smooth way!

Young players like Thai Son are integrating well thanks to the support of their seniors.

What is important is that new and young elements have been integrating smoothly, naturally and effectively into the framework of pillars that have affirmed themselves over many years.

As in the match with Hong Kong and Syria, people saw captain Que Ngoc Hai often encourage and remind his juniors U.23 Vietnam such as Tuan Tai, Van Khang, Thai Son, Van Tung.

Meanwhile, Tien Anh and Hai Huy also receive a lot of support from other positions on the field. The number of matches played for the national team may be different, but they all have the same goal of contributing to the team.

Civilized and positive competition for positions is being encouraged, so that coach Philippe Troussier can breathe new life into the playing style and players of the Vietnam team.
