Coach Philippe Troussier continues to give opportunities to new players, hoping to find a new breeze for the Vietnamese team at the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar.
The above information Dan Tri, New players may be called up to the team for the first time, such as goalkeeper Filip Nguyen, defender Le Ngoc Bao, midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long, or they may be called up to the team before but have not yet been called up to the team. appeared in official tournaments under coach Park Hang Seo.
This list includes midfielders Hai Long, Duc Chien, and Trieu Viet Hung. The abilities of those players are no less, but they have not had the opportunity to show off in the national team shirt.
The most notable rookie is goalkeeper Filip Nguyen (official name after gaining Vietnamese citizenship is Nguyen Filip). Although he is a rookie, this player may be one of the most qualified players in the Vietnamese team today.
Filip Nguyen has experience playing in Europe, having participated in the Europa League, so there is almost no doubt about his ability. Just being called up to the Vietnamese team for the first time, Filip Nguyen even has the ability to take the official playing spot from goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.
Filip Nguyen has Czech nationality, but he was born in Slovakia, has a tall appearance (1m91), has quick reflexes, is good at catching the ball, plays the ball well with his feet, and controls the 16m50 area well. In general, Filip Nguyen is comprehensive in terms of Vietnamese football.
Meanwhile, Le Pham Thanh Long is the player in charge of the central axis of the Hanoi Police Club at a time when Quang Hai has not regained his high form after many weeks of returning home.
When playing for the national team, Le Pham Thanh Long has the ability to become the main backup plan for Quang Hai, in case Hoang Duc has not regained his form and cannot reassure coach Troussier.
With a group of players who are not recruiting for the first time but have not yet participated in official tournaments with the national team, including Hai Long, Duc Chien and Viet Hung, they have their own strengths.
Hai Long is a promising organizational midfielder. Former Vietnam team coach Phan Thanh Hung once commented that Hai Long could replace Quang Hai’s role as conductor in the future.
Having good tactical vision and good finishing, what he lacks is a suitable environment to fly high.
Trieu Viet Hung is in high form at Hai Phong Club. Even though the “quite unknown” Thai Son still saw his advantages and trained him to become a useful central midfielder for the national team, Trieu Viet Hung was completely capable of playing for the team at that time. This.
The midfield of the Vietnamese team already has many technicians such as Quang Hai, Tuan Anh, Hoang Duc. Therefore, the team needs players with muscular strength and strong play like Trieu Viet Hung to create balance in the midfield.
If more muscle is needed, Coach Troussier can give Duc Chien a chance. Recently, Duc Chien played defensive midfielder at The Cong Viettel, right behind conductor Hoang Duc.
Duc Chien is 1m81 tall, strong in hand-to-hand combat and good in aerial combat. Against opponents with physical advantages such as Iraq and Indonesia (after they naturalized a series of players born in Europe), Duc Chien will help the Vietnamese team’s midfield increase their ability to compete and play. cling to opponents.
