(NLDO) - The image of Quang Hai and Duy Manh wearing Xuan Son's shirt to receive the title of "Top Scorer" and Best Player of ASEAN Cup 2024 moved fans.
At Rajamangala Stadium on the evening of January 5, "conductor" Quang Hai and captain Duy Manh, on behalf of teammate Nguyen Xuan Son, received two noble individual titles at the ASEAN Cup 2024. Before that, the naturalized striker suffered a serious injury and had to leave the field and get into an ambulance at the end of the first half of the second leg of the final. The image of Xuan Son painfully covering his face and crying because of his injury made the Vietnamese online community express their grief and regret. The 27-year-old striker made a great contribution to helping the Vietnamese team win the ASEAN Cup with 7 goals.
While in the emergency room in Bangkok, Xuan Son kept his phone on hand to follow the Vietnamese team. "Awesome. Thank you Xuan Son. Thank you for the courage and strong fighting spirit of the Vietnamese players" - fan Pham Van Canh wrote. Looking at the image of Xuan Son's injury, experts said the Brazilian striker was at risk of breaking his leg. Witnessing the gruesome scene, a reader consoled: "Come on Son, Vietnam winning the championship is a spiritual gift from all the Vietnamese people for you". Meanwhile, many fans prayed that "Son would recover soon to continue accompanying Vietnam".
"First time joining the Vietnamese national team, helping the team win the championship and also winning the titles: Top scorer, Best player of the tournament, but could not celebrate with teammates. Thank you Rafaelson Fernandes!".
"On this occasion, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh sent his regards and encouragement to player Nguyen Xuan Son, wishing him a speedy recovery so he can return to the field and continue to contribute to the country's football. The Prime Minister believes that with his strong will, player Nguyen Xuan Son will overcome difficulties and come back stronger, together with the national team, affirming the position of Vietnamese football in the regional arena and aiming for greater success in the future."
Before the match, Thai media focused on Xuan Son, the player who scored 2 goals in the first leg of the final. Sports site Siam Sport also analyzed and suggested 5 ways to neutralize Xuan Son, including blocking Quang Hai and Hoang Duc.
At the same time, the media in the land of golden pagodas also commented that Jonathan Khemdee could closely mark and neutralize Xuan Son and confidently declared that the Thai-born central defender and his teammates would turn the game around and successfully defend the ASEAN Cup "throne"... However, the Vietnamese team was crowned the 2024 ASEAN Cup champion after beating Thailand 3-2 away in the second leg of the final on the evening of January 5.
