U19 Vietnam coach pays special attention to Australia

At the AFC U19 2020, U19 Vietnam is in the same Group C with Australia, Saudi Arabia and Laos. According to the schedule, Vietnam U19 will meet U19 Australia in the opening match, so coach Philippe Troussier pays special attention to this opponent.

Coach Philippe Troussier shared: "U19 Australia last time did not focus, nor had any match, so the coaching staff gathered information about this opponent from last year's AFC U18 and previous tournaments.

As for U19 Saudi Arabia and Laos U19, we will also collect information, but do not prioritize like Australia, because these are the two following competitors, so we have the condition to follow the performance of these two teams when they play in the tournament.”

In the third gathering to prepare for the AFC U19 Finals 2020, Vietnam’s U19 team gave priority to summoning a group of players from clubs such as Phu Tho, PVF, Viettel, CAND ... This group of players have not had the opportunity to join the army with Vietnam U19 due to problems with the competition schedule in the National Second Division 2020.

Mr. Philippe Troussier emphasized his view of player selection is based on the ability and ability to integrate with the team play, not favoring any player from any club.

To prepare for the AFC U19 2020, U19 Vietnam, under the guidance of head coach Philippe Troussier, has had many short-term gatherings to select the strongest force.

Coach Philippe Troussier's goal is to restore the historic achievement of 2016 with Vietnam U19. At that time, U19 Vietnam under the guidance of coach Hoang Anh Tuan excelled in the semi-finals of the Asian U19 tournament and won the right to participate in FIFA U20 World Cup 2017.
