"Xuan Son - Dinh Bac: a real nightmare," commented Buriram Prankster, one of Thailand's largest football fan pages, regarding the striker duo that is exciting Vietnamese fans.

"Xuan Son's strengths are his power and sharpness, while Dinh Bac possesses speed, technique, and flexible movement. If they play together, they promise to be a nightmare for any defense in Southeast Asia."

"Honestly, if they don't have any other fitness issues, Xuan Son and Dinh Bac will strike fear into the hearts of Southeast Asian football. Even Thailand, can our defenders stand up against this duo?", Buriram Prankster said.

For several days now, the topic of "Xuan Son and Dinh Bac playing together" has been sparking debate. Many fans believe that Dinh Bac is still too inexperienced to be compared with Xuan Son. However, a large number of supporters believe that Dinh Bac's youthful energy will help Xuan Son's goal-scoring ability become even more refined.

This topic quickly attracted attention from football fans across Southeast Asia. Most believed that coach Kim Sang Sik would soon pair the two together in the Vietnamese national team.

"Dinh Bac is only in his U23 age group, but that's not a problem. Young players always bring many surprises. Putting them alongside a seasoned striker will only help them improve even more," commented an Indonesian fan on the ASEAN Football regional forum.

"Luckily, Dinh Bac will be suspended for the upcoming match between Malaysia and Vietnam (in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers). I don't want to see him on the field alongside Xuan Son," a Malaysian fan commented on the Utusan newspaper.
