Doha –
Vietnam had a different face under his tutelage Philippe Troussier with Park Hang-seo. Vietnam relied on ball control under Troussier.
Indonesia vs Vietnam will be presented in the second match of Group D 2023 Asian Cup at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, Friday (19/1/2024). In the first match, both sides lost.
The Garuda team was defeated by Iraq 1-3, while The Golden Stars lost to Japan 2-4. These results mean that both teams must win this match to maintain their hopes in the knockout phase.
In terms of meeting records at senior national team level, Vietnam is better than Indonesia. Shin Tae-yong’s troops have never won in the last four meetings with Vietnam.
This happened when Vietnam was coached by Park Hang-seo. Vietnam is now managed by Philippe Troussier.
Vietnam under Park Hang-seo relies on counter pressing with fast play. They don’t even hesitate to commit serious offenses when dueling. This style of play is very troublesome for Indonesia.
In the Troussier era, this playing style was abandoned. Vietnam currently has a very different face by playing possession of the ball and having very good back line coordination.
This was reflected in the match against Japan. Even though they lost, Vietnam was able to make it difficult for Samurai Blue, who had better quality players, by playing like this. This was acknowledged by the Japanese pillar, Takefusa Kubo.
“Vietnam is a team with very high collectivity. We know they want to play beautiful attacking football, not defense and counter attacks. They have tried hard to move the ball and coordinate as a team,” said Kubo, quoted from Many.
The passing accuracy of the Vietnam players was quite good in the match against Japan. Quoted SofaScore, Vietnam recorded a total of 533 passes with 434 of them being accurate. They recorded a pass accuracy percentage of 81 percent.
This number is much better than what Indonesia recorded when they met Iraq. The Red and White Team only made 314 passes with 220 accurate passes or the percentage of accurate passes was only 70 percent.
It is certainly hoped that Shin Tae-yong can adapt tactically to the changing face of Vietnam. Indonesia itself is actually not completely unfamiliar with Troussier’s Vietnam.
The reason is, Indonesia U-23 once beat Vietnam U-23, which was also coached by Troussier, 3-2 in the semifinals of the 2023 SEA Games. However, at that time, Indonesia was coached by Indra Sjafri.
