Vietnam knelt 0-1 against Indonesia in the second Group D match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 11:30 p.m. on the 19th (Korea time).
It is meaningless to say that Vietnam wins the match against Iraq, the last match of the group stage. This is because it cannot even win third place in the group that can hope to advance to the round of 16. 토토사이트 순위
The Asian Cup applies the winner’s rule after the points in the group stage ranking competition. Vietnam, which has already been defeated by Japan and Indonesia, cannot beat the two teams even if it accumulates points in the match against Iraq. They were eliminated in fourth place in the group.
Trusier said, “I was disappointed to lose. The result was decided by a small mistake called a penalty kick in a high-quality game. The small details affected the whole team. This result made Vietnam unable to go any further, but we will still fight for the goal of three points in the final round against Iraq. We cannot give up.”
However, the Vietnamese public already seems to be turning their back on Trussie. The article, which was uploaded on Vietnam’s “VN Express,” received more than 1,000 angry comments from Vietnamese people. The comment that received the most sympathy was, “Let’s replace him without saying much. One year is enough. I could not have imagined that we would lose like this.”
Other comments also called for Trussie’s dismissal. “I’m disappointed. There is no clear strategy from the coach to the players. It’s just a long pass and a kick. I think the coaching staff should resign.”
One of the reasons why Vietnamese fans are angry may be that they performed too poorly compared to Park Hang-seo’s time. Coach Park Hang-seo was appointed to the Vietnamese national team in September 2017 and caused an extraordinary event to reach the quarterfinals at the 2019 Asian Cup, which he participated in for the first time in about a year and three months. At that time, Vietnam was eliminated from the quarterfinals, but even showed the potential to lose 0-1 against Japan, the favorite.
Since then, Coach Park Hang-seo has displayed the best-ever performance in Vietnam and left the Vietnamese national team in January 2023. His successor, Coach Trusier, has not been producing any results over the past year or so. He is now in a position to be compared with Coach Park.
