Injury nearly destroyed Nguyen Xuan Son's career

Before becoming a star in Vietnam, Xuan Son's career went through a bad period. In 2018, he moved to Vegalta Sendai. Not having a starting position, having to sit on the bench and not playing in the first 2 matches, Xuan Son suddenly got injured.

Xuan Son had a serious injury.

During a training session, the striker born in 1997 suffered a broken metatarsal bone. The severe pain forced Xuan Son to rest for nearly 4 months. He missed a total of 23 matches for Vegalta Sendai in the 2018 season.

When he returned from injury, Xuan Son was no longer trusted. He was removed from the Japanese team's registration list and did not play any minutes. He only played for 71 minutes in the match against Albirex Niigita in the J.League Cup.

Too frustrated, Xuan Son went to Denmark to play for Naestved BK in the Danish Second Division. Then, Xuan Son's 4 goals were not enough and Naestved BK was relegated to the Third Division.

At this time, Xuan Son decided to come to Vietnam to play and joined Nam Dinh Club. Xuan Son's situation is similar to Cong Phuong's when the striker born in 1995 was stuck in Japan, leaving no mark with Mito Hollyhock.

" I want to score a hat-trick for myself in the match against Singapore in the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024, but it is certainly not easy. Both the first and second leg matches against Singapore are very important. The Vietnamese team must concentrate to complete the goal ," Nguyen Xuan Son shared before leaving for Singapore to prepare for the first leg of the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024.

The match between Vietnam and Singapore takes place at 20:00 on December 25.
