Coach Troussier is having a headache when the call-up plan of U19 Vietnam in preparation for the AFC U19 Championship 2020 is canceled.

In preparation for the AFC U19 Championship 2020 finals, the Vietnam Football Federation and coach Troussier plan to give U19 Vietnam a short summon on 5-11 August, in order to review the forces and recruit new factors.

However, the outbreak of COVID-19 made Troussier's plan impossible to implement, when the teams in the Second Division of the National Cup did not agree to release its players. In addition, the recommendation not to focus more than 30 people also prevents U19 Vietnam from joining the army.

Troussier's plan to win tickets for the World Cup U20 is also at risk of being turned upside down when Indonesia proposes AFC to postpone the U19 finals 2020 until December, because the country cannot call-up the national team due to Covid 19.

Coach Troussier wants to bring Vietnam U19 to the World Cup.

Coach Philippe Troussier affirmed that the goal of U19 Vietnam is not only 1-2 victories, but also the competition for tickets to the FIFA U20 World Cup 2021 in Indonesia. "My goal  is not only to win 1 match, but to win tickets to the FIFA U20 World Cup finals. U19 Vietnam needs to have 4 points, 5 points or even 6 points."

At the AFC U19 Championship 2020, the U19 Vietnam team under the guidance of coach Philippe Troussier is in Group C and in turn face U19 Australia, U19 Saudi Arabia and finally U19 Laos.

AFC U19 Championship 2020 will take place from October 14 - October 31 in Uzbekistan. The top 4 best teams of the Asian U19 2020 finals will join Indonesia in the U20 World Cup 2021. In the case of Indonesia reaching the semi-finals, the losing teams in the quarterfinals will play-off to compete for the remaining capacity.
