Who is ready for Mr. Troussier's team renewal?

In the immediate future, the tasks of the Vietnam National Team and U23 Vietnam are 2 international friendly matches with the teams of Hong Kong-China and Syria, and 2 domestic friendly matches with the Hanoi and Hai Phong Police on the upcoming FIFA Day. Although Mr. Philippe Troussier only called up 2 lists for the Vietnam National Team and U23 Vietnam, in fact, this list also includes some pillars of U20 Vietnam under the responsibility of Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan.

Looking at this context, it is not difficult for knowledgeable experts to realize that the way Mr. Troussier is doing is quite similar to the way that brought him to the great success of Japanese football more than 20 years ago. That is, the French coach simultaneously monitored 3 generations of players from U19, U23 and the Japanese National Team, combined them together in a common whole, selected the most outstanding factors for the big, long-term goal. The runner-up of the U20 World Cup in 1999, the quarter-finals of the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the champion of the Asian Cup in 2000, and reaching the round of 16 of the World Cup in 2002 are unprecedented achievements that Mr. Troussier brought to Japanese football. And he himself seems to be choosing this path of success to apply to Vietnamese football even though everything is very different from before...

This is specifically shown in the way he mixes the National Team, U23 and U20 Vietnam for training and competition. It is very strange that after that process, considering the form and ability to absorb new lessons, the coach will choose Team A to compete with the Hong Kong-China Team, Team B will compete with domestic clubs. Then, he will choose the best team to compete with the Syrian Team, ending the second concentration period of the teams, to start a new step.

Also to fundamentally resolve the issue after the period of playing abroad but facing the "poison" of failure before, will Quang Hai, Cong Phuong or Van Toan continue to be retained or temporarily return to the club to regain their inherent form and class, to continue to "apply" like many other players? And also to check domestic stars such as Tien Linh, Tuan Anh, Ngoc Hai... who have been in decline for a long time, are they worthy of being entrusted or replaced by newer, younger, more ambitious people? Among those who were previously not trusted such as Hai Huy, Xuan Manh... now have stable performance in V-League but can they squeeze into midfield positions or not, will they belong to team A or team B... all will be known when the upcoming competition lineup is announced?

And the young players of U23, U20 Vietnam - the hopes that the French coach will entrust include which names? Tuan Tai, Van Tung, Van Khang or Thai Son, Van Cuong? Don't be surprised if these names appear in the upcoming A team, including the overseas Vietnamese star returning from the Czech Republic? Don't be surprised if familiar stars are "out" of the A team, especially in the final match with the Syrian team?

To see, the Vietnam National Team under Troussier will still have the irreplaceable figures of the pillars of the Park Hang-seo era such as Van Lam, Hoang Duc, Van Thanh... but it is not certain that Tien Linh or Ngoc Hai will be guaranteed a place in the reform process towards long-term goals due to specific problems being exposed in the discerning eyes of Mr. Troussier and the scouting board.

Mr. Le Huynh Duc has clearly stated about Tien Linh's injury status, poor mobility and the reserve position is suitable and right for this star in Binh Duong. Of course, there is no Rimario on the national team, but there are many stars in good form, even what Van Tung has shown recently is a reason for Mr. Troussier to "invest" in the long-term key target, bringing Tien Linh to the... waiting position. Meanwhile, Ngoc Hai is also proving to be in decline in his defensive duties at Song Lam Nghe An and the friendly match is not too urgent to arrange an experienced person, so the replacement is also normal.

When the teams practice together, exposing the full potential, advantages, and limitations of each individual, Mr. Troussier will have a general and specific, temporary and long-term view to choose. The process of competition and dedication through each training session, through practical combat at domestic and foreign clubs, Mr. Troussier will have more data to synthesize, analyze and monitor, select and accurately decide on the core force for Vietnamese football in the coming time. The failure at the 32nd SEA Games of U22 Vietnam does not prevent the process of renewing and redoing step by step the philosophy of playing football, about building the force of a coach who has brought teams around the world to compete in the World Cup in the past. Is it normal and reasonable that Mr. Park Hang-seo has succeeded with the generation of Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Hung Dung... and Mr. Philippe Troussier has succeeded with a new generation of players?

Will Mr. Troussier's previous success with Japanese football be repeated, parallel to Vietnamese football today? This is what everyone is wondering and worrying about. The number of 500 profiles that the coach is holding is not a small number. Then the coach will continuously come and pat each person on the shoulder and ask "Are you ready?" to many players, but after going through hundreds of mountains and thousands of harsh passes, not everyone's name will be called in the final list, especially the dream list for the first time competing in the biggest festival of global football?
