Second leg against Indonesia: Will coach Philippe Troussier change?

In the recent 0-1 loss, coach Philippe Troussier was still quite conservative in his use of players. Experienced faces like Quang Hai, Tien Linh and Van Toan were "kept" on the bench. Among them, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai, who is in good form, did not even get to play.

Remember, Hai "con" is one of the most classy players of the Vietnam National Team. The classy moves of this Hanoi Police player will help our team create a breakthrough that will make the opposing team's defense wary. The number of 0 shots on target has proven the mistake that Mr. Philippe Troussier made.

While the attack was not effective, the defense also lacked the necessary solidity. Once again, the "weakness" named Phan Tuan Tai made the Vietnamese team regret. The missed clearance of the defender of The Cong Viettel was the beginning of the loss in the last match.

Fans were surprised when Nguyen Thanh Chung was not on the list of players. This defender of Hanoi FC is one of the mainstays of the Vietnam National Team under coach Park Hang-seo. His physique and good fighting ability are the factors that help Thanh Chung create an advantage against the Indonesian attackers, especially in effectively dealing with the dangerous throw-ins of the team from the archipelago country.

Besides, this Hanoi Club's central defender is also a dangerous attacking option in set pieces. Nguyen Thanh Chung has scored many goals thanks to his diverse finishing ability. In a deadlocked match, Thanh Chung will be a good solution for the Vietnam National Team.

Leaving behind the 0-1 loss at Gelaro Bung Karno, coach Philippe Troussier will certainly have to make changes if he wants to win. The home advantage will be the basis for the yellow star warriors to attack from the start.

The question is whether the French coach has the courage to make changes. It will be Nguyen Tien Linh who will lead the attack. Supporting the Becamex Binh Duong striker will be the duo Quang Hai and Hoang Duc, who are capable of holding the ball and maneuvering in tight spaces.

The current headache of the Vietnamese team is the midfield. When Hung Dung is not in good form, the responsibility falls heavily on young player Nguyen Thai Son. Coach Philippe Troussier will have to have support plans for this midfielder of Dong A Thanh Hoa if he does not want to be passive right at My Dinh Stadium. Especially when, in the upcoming match, the Indonesian team will have the services of the naturalized duo Ragnar Oratmangoen and Thom Haye.

In defense, Van Thanh and Ho Tan Tai will be good choices on the wings. The experience and ability to attack and defend of this duo will be the key to the Vietnamese team's attacks, especially when the finishing ability of Van Thanh and Tan Tai is not inferior to that of the strikers.

Meanwhile, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Thanh Binh and Nguyen Thanh Chung will be the options for the central defender position. The physique and good aerial ability of Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Nguyen Thanh Binh and Nguyen Thanh Chung will be effective options in set-piece situations in both attack and defense. Meanwhile, Bui Tien Dung's experience will help the Vietnamese team limit the danger of the opposing team.

Although losing 0-1 in the first leg, with the home field My Dinh, the chance of winning for the Vietnam team is still very high. The question is what changes will coach Philippe Troussier make to bring efficiency to our team?

The match between Vietnam and Indonesia will take place at 7:00 p.m. on March 26 at My Dinh Stadium.
