Prior to coach Philippe Troussier's guidance, Vietnamese football experienced five years of great success under coach Park Hang-seo. When the time came, Vietnamese football truly shone. To ensure another successful cycle, Vietnamese football needs to continue building on this foundation. Although these achievements did not meet expectations, Vietnamese football must remain steadfast and accept failure as an opportunity to learn valuable lessons. As competition in Asia becomes increasingly fierce, trust and steadfastness in the chosen direction during this transition period are the only ways for Vietnamese football to achieve its goals.
