Coach Troussier sent a special proposal to HAGL

August 23 at PVF Youth Football Training Center, the press conference of U19 Vietnam team took place. Here, Philippe Troussier has answered many questions from the media about the preparation plan of U19 Vietnam for the U19 Asian Championship 2020 in Uzbekistan.

The "white wizard" frankly shared his goal and the coaching staff was nothing more than to once again bring U19 Vietnam to the World Cup next year in Indonesia. To do this, the French strategist wants to receive help from the clubs.

"I chose 100 players in the 16-19 age group based on some software to learn. However, that does not mean that these 100 players will be ready for the AFC U19 finals. I think only about 40 students will be selected. The Uzbekistan tournament is coming soon.

Coach Troussier wants to get help from the clubs

Because they are more mature, they have played in the Second Division, the First Division, the V.League. In the force there is a number of children born in 2004. I think they have potential for growth in the next 1-2 years.

Also, I want to send a message to the club, the academy is to continue developing the player. Unfortunately, some players of HAGL, Viettel, the players only play in the National U19 tournament about 10 matches.

The other players can't compete in any competition, only practice for the rest of the year. Hopefully, pro players from U17-U21 will be playing more, about 40 games / year. I will have the best tool for monitoring and evaluating their performance.

I have had many convincing exchanges with the leaders of the HAGL club to let Thanh Khoi play more, but for many reasons, it was not until recently that HAGL decided to let Khoi play more in the CAND shirt in the second division. That would be better for Khoi and HAGL ".

Currently Coach Troussier is training with his squad to prepare for the AFC U19 finals next month. Although the organization plan is still open, U19 Vietnam still focuses all its efforts on this tournament without notice from AFC.​
