Xuan Son 'carrying the team' makes Thai 'hug hatred', the attitude of Park Hang-seo and fans of this size

On the day of Xuan Son's shine, the Vietnamese team overcame Thailand with a score of 2-1 at Viet Tri Stadium, ending 27 years of not winning this opponent at home.

At the national team level, the Vietnamese team always faces difficulties every time they encounter the Thais. In 29 meetings, the Vietnamese team only had 3 victories, the remaining 8 draws lost 18 matches. In the past 27 years, the Vietnamese team has never won against Thailand at home. January 2 was an opportunity for Quang Hai and Xuan Son and their teammates to break this sad band.

With the home advantage, Vietnam entered the game very confidently against Thailand. In the 3rd minute, Van Vi made a cross from the left wing into the box for Van Vi to bounce high and hit the post along the goal of goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai. After 1 minute, Xuan Son had a shot that hit Patiwat's position.

After that, coach Kim Sang-sik's students still continued to increase the pressure. In the 6th and 9th minutes, Van Thanh launched 2 shots towards the Thai goalkeeper but was unsuccessful.

The appearance of Quang Hai helps the attacking play of the Vietnamese team to be sharper. In the 51st minute, Van Thanh hung the ball from the right wing into the box for Xuan Son to fly the header over the crossbar of goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai.

In the 73rd minute of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final against Thailand, Nguyen Xuan Son stole the ball in the feet of Chalermsak Aukkee and then rushed into the box and coldly beat goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai in a facing position, doubling the score for Vietnam, thereby completing his own double.

Previously, when scoring the first goal against Thailand in the 60th minute in the final of the first leg of the ASEAN Cup on the evening of January 2, striker Nguyen Xuan Son attracted attention with a bold celebration of the "Vietnamese".

As soon as he scored, the naturalized player of Brazilian origin raised his hand in a flag salute, before heading to his teammates to celebrate. "The kind of celebration is too bold with Vietnamese warriors", "It's really unstoppable this spirit", "Xuan Son is forever at the top"... are the praises for the striker born in 1997.

During 6 minutes of injury time, Thailand could not score more goals and had to accept a 1-2 defeat. This result helps Vietnam hold a slight advantage before the second leg at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on January 5.

On football love forums, netizens also made photos with the question "I don't know if Chalermsak Aukkee knows who Xuan Son is?". The reason is that in the pre-match press conference, the defender wearing the number 5 jersey of the Thai team caused a stir when he said that he did not know who striker Xuan Son - the top scorer of the Vietnamese team - was.

This player also mentioned Nguyen Xuan Son. "Players like Nguyen Xuan Son, their top scorer, try to face our Jonathan Khemdee. I believe Jonathan is much stronger."

Therefore, as soon as Xuan Son scored against Thailand, the Thai player's words were also "dug up".

Before the feats that Xuan Son scored on the Viet Tri field, coach Park Hang-seo constantly applauded and cheered endlessly, with extremely proud eyes. On the side of Thai fans, most think that the home team has played well and promised to team Vietnam in Thailand.

"We played very well. Now let's go home. We will definitely win to win the championship," a Thai fan commented on Thairath's homepage.

Another opinion of Thai fans: "If we don't make a mistake in the second goal, there is a very final game. The defenders did not accompany the Vietnamese striker well. He (Nguyen Xuan Son) is too dangerous and strong. But it's okay, we still have a home game. The result of losing 1-2 is acceptable. Let's do better at home to win the championship."

A large number of Thai fans also have the same belief as the above opinions. They still have faith that the Thai team can beat Vietnam at home.

Aukee indeed clung to Xuan Son very tightly and had many disputes that inhibited the Vietnamese striker.
