Xuan Son received shocking news from Supachok, had to see a psychologist, and befriended a robot.

Xuan Son was unexpectedly "overtaken" by Supachok Sarachat - the one who scored an ugly goal against Vietnam in the race for the best striker of the ASEAN Cup. Something is wrong here.

The ASEAN Cup 2024 Organizing Committee is holding a vote for the best striker of the tournament. Candidates include: Tien Linh - Xuan Son of Vietnam, Joao Pedro (Timor-Leste); Supachok Sarachat - Suphanat Mueanta - Patrik Gustavsson (Thailand); Faris Ramli - Shawal Anuar (Singapore) and Martin Kristensen from the Philippines. In this position, the most accurate criterion is definitely the number of goals because it is the leading measure of a striker's effectiveness.

If we look at what the above candidates have shown, no one is as excellent as Xuan Son of the Vietnam National Team. This striker only needed 5 matches to win 2 titles of Best Player and Top Scorer of ASEAN Cup 2024. He scored 7 goals, almost double the number of the following candidates such as Tien Linh, Suphanat, Anuar (all 4 goals).

Xuan Son's scoring efficiency of up to 1.4 goals/match is also a record of the tournament. Therefore, when he has won 2 most typical individual titles of the tournament, it will not be surprising if he also wins the category of "Best Striker". However, after 2 days of voting, Supachok is leading with more than 50% of the votes, while Xuan Son has more than 40%.

It is worth mentioning that the midfielder born in 1998 has only played since the semi-finals and all he has is 1 goal. That was the controversial goal when Thailand did not return the ball to the Vietnamese team and immediately scored. In the semi-finals, this player also played very poorly, almost harmless.

Just the fact that Supachok was included in the list of candidates is a big question mark because he has scored the least number of goals among the candidates, and plays as a midfielder, not a striker. In fact, the Thai star cannot even compare to the strikers who are not nominated.

An unworthy candidate like Supachok is leading the vote for "Best Striker". Most likely, the Thai midfielder is being voted for by fans, the same thing happened in the race for "Best Goal of ASEAN Cup 2024".

Returning to Xuan Son, after a successful surgery, the male player is undergoing rehabilitation treatment under the guidance of Master Nguyen Quyet Thang - Chief Technician at the Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Vinmec.

Regarding the question: "Does Xuan Son need to practice with a special recovery facility? What should he pay attention to in terms of nutrition? What kind of exercise should Xuan Son pay attention to at this time?", Mr. Nguyen Quyet Thang had a very specific answer.

"In the first phase, Xuan Son will be supported with modern equipment such as a European standard cold compress system, an electric stimulator to relieve pain and prevent muscle atrophy, a training support robot, a biofeedback muscle training system from Germany and a professional static and dynamic balance system. To optimize results, the nutritional regimen will be monitored daily, based on Xuan Son's individual needs and training intensity," shared Master.

MSc. Dr. Ho Ngoc Minh - CEO of Motion lab and arthroscopic surgeon & sports medicine, Vinmec also added: "For athletes, specifically Xuan Son, the treatment team must calculate in detail the amount of calories in each meal, each exercise for each day, calculate the time to return to practice with the team as well as consult a psychologist to help Xuan Son have the best spirit during the treatment process.

In the next phase, Xuan Son will be treated according to a comprehensive protocol including: post-operative care, psychological care, rehabilitation exercises, nutritional control,... all of which are individualized according to Xuan Son's physical condition and recovery situation, ensuring the criteria: safety - suitability - prevention of recurrence to help the player recover quickly and return to top competition."
