VTC News e-newspaper will update the fastest images and developments of the China vs Vietnam match.

After a series of three victories against Hong Kong (China), Syria and Palestine, the Vietnamese team begins to face difficult challenges. China is the first opponent of coach Philippe Troussier and his team in a series of three matches in October against top Asian teams.

Before this match, the Vietnamese team had won all matches under coach Troussier. The French coach was the first foreign coach to debut in the Vietnamese team with 3 consecutive victories. However, the performance of the Vietnamese team was not satisfactory for fans. Coach Troussier was in the process of making many changes in both personnel and tactics.

The Vietnamese team practiced short-range football and ball control in difficult situations. The coaching staff even had to think about the immediate results while planning for the future. Not many players who were at their peak in the past 5 years have maintained their form. Even at the press conference before the match with the Chinese team, Coach Troussier did not hide the fact that he would use young players.

The Chinese team is under a lot of pressure before the match against the Vietnamese team. The defeat in the most recent match between the two teams has hurt the fans of the billion-people country.

In fact, the home team is still rated higher than the Vietnamese team. In addition to Wu Lei, Wang Shenchao or Xie Pengfei, naturalized players like Browning and Elkesson are still playing well in the domestic league.

In addition, coach Aleksandar Jankovic understands that his position will be shaken if he cannot defeat the Vietnamese team. Therefore, China is the biggest challenge for coach Troussier since taking office in Vietnam.
