Not participating in AFF Cup 2024, Vietnamese player returns to sell melons and tomatoes

Nguyen Thai Son made many audiences excited when he publicly "sold" pickles and tomatoes on social networks. In fact, the midfielder born in 2003 went to the market near his house to look after his family's food and pickles stall in a market in Thanh Hoa city. He received many compliments for his filial piety to his parents.

Nguyen Thai Son will not participate in the AFF Cup 2024. The player of Dong A Thanh Hoa was removed from the list by coach Kim Sang-sik at the last minute. This did not surprise many people. Thai Son and Bao Toan are two rare players who did not play a single minute in the 3 friendly matches in Korea. However, Thai Son still has many opportunities in the future because coach Kim Sang-sik highly appreciates his student's ability.

In the near future, Nguyen Thai Son will most likely be the captain of the U22 Vietnam team participating in the 33rd SEA Games in 2025 in Thailand. In recent training sessions, Nguyen Thai Son was trusted by Mr. Kim Sang-sik for an important role.

As for the current Vietnam team, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Chau Ngoc Quang, Le Pham Thanh Long or Doan Ngoc Tan will be the players in charge of the midfield.

In the opening match, the Vietnamese team won 4-1 against the Lao team on away field. The Golden Star Warriors will face Indonesia at 8:00 p.m. on December 15. The Vietnamese team will have more rest than their opponents because they do not have to play the second match.

Nguyen Tien Linh's assessment of the match against Indonesia: " We will do better against Indonesia. The match against Indonesia is the most important match of the group stage, deciding the top position in Group B. We will rest and prepare best for the match against Indonesia at home ."

After the first round, the Vietnamese team leads Group B with 3 points and a goal difference of +3. The Indonesian team beat Myanmar 1-0 and ranked second in the group. The Vietnamese team will also face Indonesia, the Philippines and Myanmar.
