The only regret is that Xuan Son suffered a serious injury in the final of the AFF Cup 2024 and is at risk of being out of action for a long time. Brazilian media paid special attention to Xuan Son after the match against Thailand.
Terra newspaper has an article: “Brazilian striker is champion and top scorer with the Vietnamese team”. In the article, the author emphasized: “Rafaelson (Xuan Son’s original name) was naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen at the end of 2014. This player has just shone brightly when helping the Vietnamese team win the AFF Cup. He was honored as the top scorer and best player of the tournament.
Xuan Son’s form in the AFF Cup has been incredible. He has scored 7 goals in 4 matches. He scored a brace against Myanmar, 3 goals in the two semi-final matches against Singapore and 2 goals in the first leg of the final against Thailand.
Unfortunately, on the happy day of the Vietnamese team, Xuan Son suffered a serious injury. According to local press, this player broke two bones in his shin. That forced him to stay off the field for a long time.
In the past, Xuan Son played for the Brazilian club Vitoria. After that, he played in Japan and Denmark before coming to Vietnam in 2019. Xuan Son was especially excellent in the Nam Dinh club shirt when he scored 46 goals in 38 matches.
Conteverde newspaper emphasized: “The Vietnamese team defeated Thailand 3-2 in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final to win the championship. However, it was unfortunate that the hero of the team, Brazilian striker Xuan Son, suffered a serious injury in the first half.
This was an excellent tournament for Xuan Son when he scored 7 goals. This striker also won two individual titles: Top Scorer and Best Player of AFF Cup 2024".
Yesterday (January 7), Xuan Son had a successful surgery at Vinmec Hospital. Striker number 12 was awake, pain-free, and started to move his toes lightly right after the surgery.
