Listed Vietnam national team, in particular the return of Do Hung Dung and Nguyen Van Quyet. Previously, Hung Dung was absent from the June training camp due to health problems, and Van Kuyet was suspended for 8 matches in the V-League.
Van Cuyet’s return to Vietnam is well worth it. The Hanoi striker is the domestic striker with the most goals in the 2023 V-League (9 goals).
In this camp, Van Kuet will fight for position with strikers Kong Phuong, Van Toan, Quang Nam, Tuan Hai, Tien Lin and Thanh Binh.
Thus, as stated earlier, Coach Philip Trousier still call out Kong Phuong and Wang Toan, despite the two players rarely playing in Japan and Korea.
The French strategist confirmed that both Kong Phuong and Van Toan are valued more than V-League players. At a military meeting in June, Mr Trussier gave Kong Phuong the opportunity to take the field in a 1-0 friendly victory over Syria.
In the recently announced list of Vietnamese conscripts, the appearance of names such as Nguyen Duc Chien and Duong Thanh Hao also raised a lot of anticipation. In the 2023 V-League, Duc Chien scored 6 goals, second only to Van Kuyet.
In addition, in order to create the most optimal squad for advancing to the Asia 2026 World Cup qualifiers, coach Philippe Troussier also provided opportunities for many new faces, including: defender Hoang Thai Binh (Thanh Hoa), midfielders Nguyen Huu Son , Pham Chung Hieu (Haiphong), Le Pham Thanh Long (Thanh Hoa), Pham Van Luan (CAHN) and striker Vu Quang Nam from Ha Tinh.
It is these faces that impressed coach Philippe Troussier in the 2023 V-League matches and promise to create competitiveness for the Vietnamese national team.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will start training on September 1st. On September 11, Quang Hai and his teammates played an international friendly against a Palestinian team at Thien Truong Stadium in Nam Dinh. This is also the only match for the Vietnamese national team as part of FIFA Days in September.
Then, in October, the Vietnamese team held a training camp in China. Here, the army of coach Philippe Troussier played a friendly match with host China on October 10, and three days later played with Uzbekistan. On October 14, the Vietnamese team flew to South Korea, and on October 17 they played a friendly match with the national team.
