Quang Hai shares the same fate as Doan Van Hau, Xuan Son surpasses him and becomes the top scorer

The two names Quang Hai and Doan Van Hau became the focus of football fans after the recent second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final against the Singapore team. The name Xuan Son suddenly shined, surpassing many seniors.

On the evening of December 29, the Vietnamese team won 3-1 against Singapore in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-finals. In this match, striker Nguyen Xuan Son continued to shine when he scored a double against the Lion Island team. This also helped him rise to the top of the race for the AFF Cup 2024 Golden Boot with 5 goals. Notably, the Brazilian star scored 5 goals after 3 matches for the Vietnamese team in this tournament.

Under the brilliance of Xuan Son, Quang Hai, despite the joy of his wife Chu Thanh Huyen, who brought the whole family to cheer and support him, fell behind because he did not score any goals for his country. Previously, Quang Hai had caused a stir when he scored the only goal against Indonesia, winning the third match of the group stage.

In the match against Myanmar in the final round of Group B, Quang Hai also scored a goal, contributing to the 5-0 victory. However, when he appeared in the semi-finals against Singapore, his halo was overshadowed by Xuan Son, with a double goal. Compared to Doan Van Hau, Quang Hai's situation was commented to be too miserable.

Regarding Doan Van Hau, the male defender has been seriously injured since last year and it is still unknown when he can return to the field. In September 2023, the Hanoi Police Football Club announced the injury of defender Doan Van Hau. Information from the police team at that time said that Doan Van Hau suffered an injury to the Achilles tendon attachment, and it is expected to take 3 to 6 months to fully recover.

The injury caused Doan Van Hau to miss several matches of the Vietnam national team under coach Troussier. Doan Van Hau went to Singapore for treatment and doctors there said that the pain in his heel did not require surgery. Contrary to the initial diagnosis, Van Hau's injury was more serious than expected.

The defender born in 1999 has not been able to return to training with his teammates. Doan Van Hau has missed the entire 2023/24 V-League season of the Hanoi Police Club. The last time Van Hau played for the Hanoi Police Club was the match against Thanh Hoa in the final round of the 2023 V-League on August 27, 2023. Up to now, he has not been able to join the Vietnam National Team in the 2024 AFF Cup.

Regarding the name of the rising star Xuan Son, he is leading the race for the title of "top scorer" this season. In his debut match, Xuan Son scored a double in the "Golden Star Warriors"' 5-0 victory over Myanmar. After that, he continued to contribute 1 goal in the 2-0 victory of the Vietnamese team over Singapore in the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final.

In the race for the AFF Cup 2024 Golden Boot, there are two players who are 1 goal behind Xuan Son: Nguyen Tien Linh and Anuar (Singapore). However, Anuar has run out of chances to improve his record when Singapore was eliminated by the Vietnamese team in the semi-finals. Returning to the semi-finals, the Vietnamese team won with a total score of 5-1 against Singapore after two matches. In the final, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will meet the winner of the match between Thailand and the Philippines.

Nguyen Xuan Son, whose real name is Rafaelson Fernandes, was born in 1997 in Brazil and received the decision to acquire Vietnamese citizenship on October 15, 2024. He first came to Vietnam in late 2019 and joined Nam Dinh club, marking the first milestone in his football career in Vietnam.

Since appearing in the V-League, he quickly asserted his talent with impressive goals. Xuan Son was also the top scorer in the 2023 V-League season and continued to explode in the 2023-2024 season.
