(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 sells 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 Vietnamese team disappointed everyone when they lost to Indonesia with a score of 0-3 at My Dinh Stadium. This result caused coach Troussier and his team to close the door to the next round with only 3 points after 4 matches. In Group F, Iraq leads and is certain to advance with 12 points, while Indonesia is in second place 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 developments. However, two of the players most highly rated by experts, Quang Hai and Duc Chien, were not included.

Quang Hai held his head in disappointment because he could not help the Vietnamese team.

At the time 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.

Coach Troussier only had 1 official win against the Philippines when leading the Vietnam national team.

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 asked to bring Vietnam to the World Cup finals for the first time. Unfortunately, Mr. Troussier is the coach who has lost the most in the history of the team and had to say goodbye early./.
