(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Troussier broke his own failure record with the Vietnam National Team; Quang Hai held his head helplessly as the Vietnam National Team lost miserably; Chelsea vs. MU sold the most expensive VIP ticket package in the history of the Premier League... are notable sports news in the past 24 hours.
Quang Hai held his head helplessly as the Vietnamese team was crushed.
On the evening of March 26, the Vietnam team disappointed everyone when they lost to Indonesia with a score of 0-3 at My Dinh Stadium. This result made coach Troussier and his team close the door to the next round with only 3 points after 4 matches. In Group F, Iraq leads and is sure to advance with 12 points, while Indonesia is second with 7 points.
In this match, coach Troussier changed 3 positions in the starting lineup compared to the first leg. The French strategist also replaced 5 players on the field according to the match's progress. However, two of the players who were most highly rated by experts, Quang Hai and Duc Chien, were not present.
At the moment when the Vietnamese team conceded the second and third goals, the cameras on the field continuously focused on Quang Hai's position. The midfielder of the Hanoi Police club had red eyes and held his head in disappointment when he was not trusted by the coach. Quang Hai was helpless because he could not help the whole team avoid a humiliating defeat against Indonesia.
This is a very confusing decision by coach Troussier, when Quang Hai showed his desire to play when he was on the field to warm up. Moreover, this midfielder is also the domestic player leading the list of top scorers of V-League 2023/2024 with 5 goals.

The Australian team continued to impress with a 5-0 victory over Lebanon in the fourth match of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Round 2 in Asia.
This result is not too surprising when Australia is considered superior to the remaining opponents of Group I.
In this match, Australia did not have much difficulty dominating the game right after the opening whistle, before opening the score in the 2nd minute by striker Kusini Yengi.
After the opening goal, Australia continued to play offensively, creating many opportunities, but it was not until the second half that they could continue to celebrate.
Within just 2 minutes (minutes 47 and 48), the Kangaroo team scored two consecutive goals after an own goal by Bassel Jradi and a goal by Craig Goodwin, to raise the score to 3-0.
Australia then had two more goals from John Iredale (68th minute) and Goodwin (81st) to complete a resounding 5-0 victory over Lebanon.
This result also helped Australia become the first team to qualify for the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
Chelsea vs MU sells the most expensive VIP ticket package in Premier League history
MU vs Chelsea always attracts attention, even when they are not at their best, as the current season is going on.
However, Chelsea under new owner Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital could not help but shock their fans with the VIP ticket package sold for the match against the Red Devils on April 4 - 5,000 pounds (149 million VND) for one person, the most expensive in Premier League history.
Buying a VIP ticket package, in addition to luxury seats and a great location (right behind Pochettino and his team's cabin), fans also have the opportunity to meet Man City stars when they arrive at Stamford Bridge, along with other privileges before and after the match,...
Dom Rosso, vice-president of the Official Chelsea Supporters Club, expressed his concerns to the Telegraph: “£5,000 for the ticket package is an outrageous amount of money, unacceptable for ordinary fans. It is terrible that the seats right behind the team cabin are filled with business travellers.”
Coach Troussier breaks his own failure record at Vietnam National Team
On the evening of March 26, Coach Philippe Troussier and the Vietnamese team lost 0-3 to Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
In his 41-year coaching career, this is Mr. Troussier's 5th defeat in all 5 times facing Indonesia and the 3rd consecutive time when the Vietnamese team met this opponent.

The only time Mr. Troussier led the Vietnamese team to win an official match was a 2-0 victory over weak opponent Philippines in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November 2023.
Meanwhile, three consecutive losses against Indonesia have caused this coach to continuously increase the failure rate with the Vietnamese team.
Specifically, coach Troussier's failure rate increased from 67% to 71.4% after losing to Indonesia in both World Cup qualifying matches.
This is the highest rate among the 10 foreign coaches who have led Vietnam, "far surpassing" his colleagues behind him such as Edson Tavares (50%), Henrique Calisto (42.3%), Falko Goetz (40%)... The coach with the lowest failure rate when leading the Vietnamese team is Mr. Park Hang-seo (25.4%).
This is the first coach that VFF has asked to bring Vietnam to the World Cup finals for the first time. Unfortunately, Mr. Troussier is the coach with the most losses in the history of the team and had to say goodbye early./.
