Vietnam National Team will kick off their Asian Cup 2023 campaign against Japan National Team at 18:30 on January 14th. This also marks a reunion for coach Philippe Troussier with his former team, having led Japan National Team from 1998 to 2002.
Center-back Bui Hoang Viet Anh disclosed that coach Philippe Troussier has provided the Vietnam National Team with a wealth of useful information about Japan National Team. Consequently, the whole team is confident heading into their opening match at Asian Cup 2023.
“Coach Philippe Troussier is very knowledgeable about Japanese football and has shared with us a lot of information about the Japan National Team. I think, as players like us, we don’t often get the chance to play against a strong opponent like Japan. Therefore, the whole team is very excited and looking forward to it. We will give our all in this match,” shared Bui Hoang Viet Anh.
After the opening match against Japan National Team, Vietnam National Team will continue to face Indonesia National Team at 21:30 on January 19th and Iraq National Team at 18:30 on January 24th.

Our goal is to try our best to go as far as possible. Personally, I believe, when given the chance to play, we must give our utmost. The aim is for all of us to play well together and bring high achievements for the team.”
