The Vietnamese team is at a psychological disadvantage when reuniting with Indonesia at My Dinh Stadium. However, coach Troussier and his students will fight hard in this decisive match.

After 2 losses with a score of 0-1 against Indonesia, in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup and in the first round of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, the Vietnamese team faced a mental disadvantage against the Vietnamese team. Thousand islands.

Stress is inevitable after experiencing a series of consecutive defeats like just now. In particular, the tension also increases when the match against Indonesia at My Dinh Stadium is likely to be the deciding match for coach Philippe Troussier’s position.

In the case of the Vietnamese team losing to coach Shin Tae Yong’s team, it is difficult to believe that coach Troussier will remain in position, because by then the fans’ trust in the French strategist will have been exhausted.

Competing in such a heavy psychological context is truly very difficult for the whole team. However, from being placed in a corner, the Vietnamese team promises to change.

Coach Troussier will probably no longer be too conservative, keeping the squad like in past matches, including too many young and inexperienced players. This time, the French coach will bring the stars of Vietnamese football onto the field.

Mr. Troussier faces the need to change to save his own seat, save his own reputation, at the risk of that reputation being buried by his Indonesian opponent.

If the Vietnamese team uses a different composition than in the first leg, if Quang Hai, Tien Linh, and Ho Tan Tai are used, the Vietnamese team will be different.

These players have both professional ability, are good at fighting, have a lot of experience in top competition, and are familiar with Indonesia’s net (Tien Linh, Quang Hai), so they have the ability to puncture the opponent’s net.

Another important thing is that the Vietnamese team should not lose first because in past matches against Indonesia, when they lost first, it was very difficult for the Vietnamese team to recover, because their psychology was weighed down. Therefore, the defense should also be adjusted by coach Troussier, with a more elite force and better competition.

If the Vietnamese team defeats Indonesia, the storm will disappear and all criticism towards coach Troussier will almost disappear.

As for the score, if they win against Indonesia, the Vietnamese team will again surpass this opponent to regain the right to self-determine their ticket to continue in Group F for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.

Continue or stop, with the Vietnamese team, there is only one victory between them. Criticized or praised, for coach Troussier, there is only one difference between Indonesia and Indonesia.

Prediction: Vietnam team wins 2-1.
