(Baonghean.vn) - One day before the opening match of the 2nd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup between host Philippines and Vietnam (November 16), the list of 23 registered players for each team will be announced.

Accordingly, the list must have 3 goalkeepers, so Van Lam, Dinh Trieu and Van Viet are naturally present and many people predict that the 5 "reserved" names that will be reserved for the coming time may include Van Cuong, Tuan Duong, Van Toan, Thanh Nhan and Dinh Bac. Also, it is predicted that Mr. Troussier will emphasize safety and certainty in the opening match, so he will mainly use experienced players including Van Lam, Ngoc Hai, Tien Dung, Thanh Binh, Van Thanh, Xuan Manh, Tuan Anh, Hoang Duc, Hung Dung, Tuan Hai and Tien Linh in the starting lineup.

But everyone knows that the French coach has long been unpredictable and that has made Mr. Troussier's "brand" on the World Cup map. Mr. Troussier once favored Tien Anh when he let this player play in the 3 most important friendly matches in China, Uzbekistan and Korea, but then he eliminated this Viettel player from the first list. He also tested and brought Dinh Bac to light in the important matches mentioned above, but until now no one knows whether he will trust or put Dinh Bac in "waiting" or "saving" mode when everything is still unknown.

Therefore, young players with little experience but a lot of energy, who will surprise their opponents like Dinh Bac, Van Cuong, Thai Son, Minh Trong... will certainly be assigned the task of being ready to fight, because just a small incident with their seniors will immediately call their names. It is also to see that all predictions about the starting lineup are basically the old pillars for a long time, which is not the way Mr. Troussier is doing. On the contrary, players with high performance like Xuan Manh, Van Thanh or Van Quyet, Tuan Hai are sometimes the main "drills" used from the beginning to confront the Africans playing in an extremely annoying European style.

What many people are interested in is that when the Vietnamese team no longer has Quang Hai, how will Hoang Duc not be "stepped on" and how will he be able to develop his abilities? Many people are surprised when Mr. Troussier continuously lets Hoang Duc play as a striker, even though when playing in the center of midfield, this Viettel player once made a pass to set up Cong Phuong to score in a friendly match against Syria. Does the coach not know that Hoang Duc's potential and strengths can only be developed when he is assigned to a task in an area? So why is Hoang Duc constantly tested in new positions even though they are not effective? The question seems to also be the answer to the question of what color picture will opponents get when researching the Vietnamese team, clear or vague and chaotic?

According to the long-standing operation, the Vietnam National Team focuses a lot on the wings in the 3-5-2 formation. Currently, Van Hau has been absent for a long time, and Tan Tai has not been called because he is considered unsuitable. Although he was eliminated, Van Thanh and Xuan Manh were finally called back and are hoping to be the "main actors". It seems that Mr. Trousier is not as conservative and stubborn as someone thinks? In the future, if Xuan Manh is trusted and plays effectively, for example, all negative thoughts about the coach will quickly disappear? And if the former midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An is just a long-term reserve, then everything will be considered as the eternal story of "hard to change nature".

And it is also possible that Van Quyet and Tien Linh will not be registered or not be allowed to start in the opening match? Will the reasons of not being suitable or not reaching the required form be cited? Some people believe that Van Quyet will be useful thanks to his rich experience and his understanding with Hung Dung and Tuan Hai. Obviously, once Hung Dung plays well, Tuan Hai is aggressive and quick to score, Van Quyet is both the cause and the result of this relationship and all three will support and improve each other. Tien Linh's case is a bit different as he is the type of player who works for himself and feeds himself in all circumstances. The problem is how to "awaken" the potential of this killer when everything has been strangely dormant for a long time.

Currently, most public opinion is divided on the French coach as he is creating an elusive matrix about the Vietnam National Team. Fortunately for him, the Philippines is not Thailand or Indonesia or Iraq, so the opportunity has not been completely closed after the first match if things do not go well. This time crossing the sea to the Philippines, hopefully the "twin seas" Ngoc Hai and Tuan Hai will play as well as possible with a pass and a decisive cut to score, for example, so that everything with the Vietnam National Team will be truly "smooth sailing" and "smooth sailing".
