What a pity when Le Quoc Nam who had been called in the official squad got knee injury before the Thailand trip. However, two former players Trong Luan and Hoang Vinh back will replace and support for the whole team. Australia will also compete first time in this championships therefore Viet Nam will meet more difficulties in competing the top position.

Australian players are forecast to win the top of group B, therefore, Viet Nam should win the top of group A to avoid confronting with Australia. This is uneasy mission because Thailand is the big team we have to pass. In this game against Malaysia, Viet Nam should score many goals so that we can have advantages in goal difference.
