Xuan Son was "cleverly fired", new destination unexpected, cause of serious injury revealed?

While Xuan Son was recovering from his injury, coach Kim Sang-sik shared something that caught the attention of the media. He did not spare praise but found a new destination for the striker born in 1997.

Nguyen Xuan Son has just concluded a successful AFF Cup with the Vietnam national team with the championship and the double titles of "Top scorer" and "Best player". However, the tournament became even more memorable for the striker born in 1997 when he suffered a serious injury in the second leg of the final and could not celebrate with his teammates on the field.

However, Xuan Son was somewhat comforted by the fact that coach Kim Sang-sik personally presented him with the gold medal at the airport when he returned to Vietnam. It can be seen that the Korean coach pays special attention to the player from Brazil.

Until recently, in an interview with the Korean media, coach Kim Sang-sik shared some interesting things about this student. "Xuan Son played for the Vietnam national team and showed great performance. It was sad that he suffered a serious injury in the second leg of the final. He is considered to have the ability to compete in the K-League and Europe. If he comes to the K-League, Xuan Son will definitely be successful."

This proves that coach Kim Sang-sik highly appreciates the importance of Xuan Son, along with the difference he brings to the Vietnam national team. Certainly, the 48-year-old strategist really wants his student to return to competition soon, most recently in the 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers.

However, some people still think that the coach is deliberately kicking Xuan Son out because of a serious injury that will make it difficult for him to return to the field in a short time as well as to regain his peak form. However, according to a source from the Vietnam Football Federation, after surgery, the striker born in 1997 will need about 8-9 months to recover.

If the process goes smoothly, the player of Nam Dinh Club can return to the Vietnam National Team in October 2025. Not to mention, Professor, Dr. Tran Trung Dung, who directly performed the surgery on Xuan Son, also revealed that the current condition of the male player is very positive because he is no longer in pain, has the ability to move lightly and is recovering actively.

Therefore, there is no reason for coach Kim Sang-sik to push this "goal machine" out of the squad. Remember, in the situation that led to the injury, Xuan Son did not have any strong collision with the opponent. This may be related to a situation that is not uncommon in the sports world: overload.

For professional athletes, especially those participating in major tournaments, having to compete continuously and being overloaded is inevitable, and Xuan Son is no exception. Before suffering a serious injury, he had almost continuously competed, both at club level and the national team.

Every match requires extremely high physical and mental strength, especially in the final match - where the pressure and intensity of the competition is very high. The player always tries his best, even forgetting the pain to contribute to the team. As a result, his body becomes tired, the muscles and joints gradually lose flexibility and become vulnerable.

When the pressure of competition is too great, the organs and body parts do not have time to recover, leading to a state of overload. It is in this state of potential overload that seemingly minor injuries can become serious.

According to Professor Tran Trung Dung, one of the special features of Xuan Son's injury is that although there was no strong impact, the player still suffered fractures with very large bone fragments (3 cm and 7 cm). The cause was due to the overload of the body.
