 Losing to Korea is not a shock. Of course, it was a losing game, but I wanted him to resist to some resistance. That's why Vietnam is frustrated by the six-goal defeat.

Vietnam, led by head coach Philip Trussier, visited Korea last week and had a tough learning time. It lost 0-6 in the A match warm-up match against Clinsmann at Suwon World Cup Stadium. The net fluctuated in South Korea, where European players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Jung Woo-young (Sturtgart), which Vietnam looked up to.

Vietnam was completely overwhelmed by South Korea. Until last year, he reached the final qualifying round for the Asian region of the World Cup and reached the quarterfinals at the 2019 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) United Arab Emirates (UAE) Asian Cup. I thought it was Southeast Asia and tried to compete with the top Asian players, but the gap with Korea was wide.

Even Vietnam is not used to losing by six goals. According to the Vietnamese media "Express", Vietnam experienced a six-goal defeat for the third time ever. He thought his power had risen, so he tried to check his competitiveness through the match against Korea, but only sighed.


Vietnam completed a five-year accompaniment with coach Park Hang-seo in January this year. Coach Park Hang-seo, who was with the Vietnamese national team from the A team to the U-23 team for a long time, made a great achievement. Starting with the runner-up at the U-23 Asian Cup in his first year in office, he raised expectations by winning the 2018 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Cup and ranking fourth at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. Since then, he has shown remarkable results every year, giving Vietnam great confidence. 스포츠토토

Coach Park Hang-seo left and Trusier, who took charge of Japan at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and advanced to the round of 16, sat as a replacement. He vowed to raise Vietnam to the next level, but lost to China (0-2), Uzbekistan (0-2) and South Korea in October alone. He had a disappointing report card of not allowing a goal and 10 runs in three games.

There is more than a few complaints. Vietnamese media "Eunguoi Rao Dong" said, "As Vietnam lost to Korea, concerns grew. The score of 0-6 is a big loss in almost eight years, he said. "Doubts are focused on the player selection method and tactics that coach Trousier builds."

"Coach Park Hang-seo competed equally with Asia's best teams such as Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE with his counterattack defense style," the media said. "Coach Trusier said he would change the way Vietnam owns the ball and actively attacks it." "I saw that the Vietnamese players' skills improved, but they were sluggish, and their tactics were also low in efficiency."

Finally, he complained, "Vietnam is generally declining from the U-23 national team to the A national team compared to coach Park Hang-seo." As if the selection of the national team was questionable, "The height and physical strength of the players selected by coach Trusier this time are both inferior to those of his seniors. They pointed out that they have not yet qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2026 FIFA North and Central U.S. World Cup, as well as the Asian Cup finals next year.

Meanwhile, Coach Trussier said after the match against Korea, "I played against the highest level of teams and the results did not follow. Korea is a good team. We are in the process of creating a new team. The World Cup is being prepared. I will not let today's results affect me," he said.
