Former player Nguyen Tuan Phong: 'Give Mr. Troussier more time!'; South Korea avoids Japan in the round of 16

Former player Nguyen Tuan Phong: "Please give Mr. Troussier more time!"

The Vietnam national team ended their journey at the 2023 Asian Cup with three consecutive losses. This was considered a failure for coach Troussier and his team, but former player Nguyen Tuan Phong said that the French coach should be given more time.

In response to public reactions that Coach Troussier seems to be unsuitable for Vietnamese football and whether this coach should be retained, former player Nguyen Tuan Phong said:

“Troussier is a talented coach and his philosophy to build Vietnamese football on a roadmap that extends to the 2026 World Cup is reasonable. However, it seems that many of our fans and some experts only focus on short-term achievements and forget about long-term orientation. Therefore, I think we should give Coach Troussier more time to have the best connection between veteran players and young faces. However, next March in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, if the Vietnamese team continues to lose to Indonesia, then Mr. Troussier will be very tired of public opinion.”
