Thai midfielder criticized Xuan Son, 'hugged hatred' and said 1 sentence to challenge all social media?

When asked about Nguyen Xuan Son after the win over the Philippines, Chalermsak Aukkee replied: "Who is Nguyen Xuan Son?". Many Vietnamese fans reacted to the Thai midfielder's statement.

But after the match on January 2, the situation was completely reversed, Xuan Son made Thailand hold a grudge. Although previously, many comments commented that Chalermsak Aukkee was arrogant. "If you want to know who Xuan Son is, go to Viet Tri", a fan commented. The Thai midfielder continued to ask back: "Is Nguyen Xuan Son well? But let's let him pit Khemdee against him. I guarantee that Khemdee is much healthier than Nguyen Xuan Son." Previously, Chalermsak Aukkee also asked the question: "Ask the Vietnamese team if they are afraid of Thailand?".

In the last two AFF Cups, the Vietnamese team lost to Thailand. Vietnam lost in the semifinals of the 2020 AFF Cup with a score of 0-2 and 2-3 in the final of the 2022 AFF Cup. The last meeting, the Vietnamese team under the leadership of coach Kim Sang Sik lost to Thailand 1-2 at My Dinh stadium.

Not only arrogant when talking about Nguyen Xuan Son and the Vietnamese team, the No. 5 central defender of the Thai team acted badly after the victory over the Philippines on the evening of December 30. Chalermsak Aukkee made a gesture in the style of crying, which can be understood as mocking the Filipino players in the semifinals of the second leg.

Chalermsak Aukkee's mocking action stemmed from his speech before the semi-final second leg. The Thai midfielder did not seem to swallow the 1-2 loss in the first leg, so he spoke in a way that disparaged the Philippines. Chalermsak Aukkee declared that he wanted the Philippines to cry again, but cried because he lost to Thailand.

"I remember after the first semi-final, the Philippines team beat Thailand, it was so happy that I had to cry. In the second leg, I think the Philippines cried again. We will get the image back. They will have to cry. But it's not because it's too fun, the Philippines was defeated by Thailand, not in the final," Chalermsak said before the semi-final second leg in a way that mocked the Philippines crying for winning Thailand.

Explaining the above statement, the Thai midfielder said after the second leg: "I said that before the semi-final second leg does not mean to lower the Philippines". Chalermsak Aukkee defended that the Thai team has a talented coach Masatada Ishii and respects the opponent.

Coach Ishii shared before the first leg final at Viet Tri Stadium: "We will visit Vietnam will be very difficult. I'm trying to calculate for each game, after the away game and then come back and think about the rematch at Rajamangala Stadium. We have to win the other two games and become champions. The Thai team will give fans a New Year's gift."

Coach Kim Sang-sik and midfielder Hoang Duc immediately after the Vietnamese team entered the final of the 2024 AFF Cup shared that it does not matter which opponent they will meet (when Thailand and the Philippines have not played the semi-finals of the second leg), but the important thing is to prepare carefully to win. Center back Bui Tien Dung wants to meet an opponent who owes more to Thailand.

Regarding the name Jonathan Khemdee that Chalermsak mentioned, the midfielder was born and raised in Denmark, 1.9 m tall. Although he is only 22 years old, this player is considered to be a mature player and a key factor for the Thai team at the 2024 ASEAN Cup. Meanwhile, Chalermsak Aukkee, born on August 25, 1994, is also known as Ped. He is a footballer from Bangkok, Thailand. He currently plays for Port in the Thai Premier League, is 1.82 m tall, and has won the 2022 AFF Cup.

And Nguyen Xuan Son is 1.85 m tall, is a naturalized Vietnamese player, of Brazilian origin. He currently leads the list of top scorers in the 2024 ASEAN Cup with 5 goals after only three appearances. Excellent from his debut against Myanmar when helping Vietnam win 5-0, Xuan Son contributed to 80% of the team's goals. Son's talent not only resonated in the country but also attracted the attention of regional experts. Some experts also emphasized that Nguyen Xuan Son cannot be beaten.

Just over 10 minutes later in the final, taking advantage of the mistake of the opposing defender, Xuan Son led the ball towards the Thai goal before finishing with his left foot, raising the gap to 2-0. This is also Xuan Son's 7th goal in the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

2-1 in favor of Vietnam is the final result. Thus, the "Golden Star Warriors" won this opponent at home for the first time in an official tournament, in 27 years. With this result, coach Kim Sang-sik temporarily took advantage before the second leg final on the evening of January 5, 2025, on Thailand's Rajamangala field.
