Commentator Quang Tung commented on the performance of the striker born in 1997 and the next stage at AFF Cup 2024.
Vietnam 5-0 Myanmar
- How do you rate Nguyen Xuan Son's performance?
I think Xuan Son has done what fans have been waiting for. Xuan Son plays as a striker, is tall, aggressive, aggressive, intelligent and has good connection with his teammates. The Vietnamese team has been waiting for a player like this for a long time, the burden of finding goals has been completely removed.
With such a player on the attack line, the player receives many favorable conditions to develop his abilities. For example, Xuan Son's ability to attract opponents is better than others.
Thereby, Van Toan, Vi Hao, Tien Linh have space. Xuan Son did very well in his debut match. However, we need to consider when praising too much, Myanmar is not too strong, so we should keep the right mindset so that the Vietnamese team can be more balanced mentally.
I still see unresolved problems in the Vietnam team. The team needs to be more stable. For example, Hoang Duc and Tuan Hai are not playing together properly. When Myanmar is healthy and focused, the Vietnam team cannot score.
The fact that he only scored in the second half is not a big deal, but the formation and passing distance are not easy to score. To ensure the connection, Quang Hai needs to play higher and only do so in the second half. Everything immediately improved.
Xuan Son showed brilliant performance.
- If Xuan Son does not shine, what will happen to the Vietnamese team?
That's right, it's a risky situation that needs to be raised. What if we only rely on Xuan Son and he can't score?
In the first 20 minutes, all the balls were aimed at Xuan Son from low balls, high balls, in the middle or from the sidelines. It seemed reasonable, because Xuan Son was excited and created many remarkable plays.

In the end, the Vietnamese team still could not break the deadlock because they did not have a reasonable plan to divide the fire. The distance between the passing positions was too far, making it difficult for the Vietnamese team to create dangerous opportunities. I still wonder, making many substitutions in each match also shows that the Vietnamese team is not stable.
For example, the first formation makes the opponent stagger and can add a few more positions to increase the attack power, which is very different. The Vietnamese team has not reached that level yet. Without a plan to divide the fire, it will be very dangerous.
Don’t forget that Xuan Son is a foreign player but playing in V.League is sometimes very difficult. Singapore has the physique, physical strength and discipline. It is not easy to defeat them with normal attacks. Vietnam team must have better tactics, not what Vietnam team usually does in the first half of matches.
- Quang Hai has regained his form but Hoang Duc hasn't?
This is true and clearly reflected on the field. Hoang Duc is still not free and lacks confidence. Quang Hai is better, especially when he scored to free his mind in the match against Indonesia. When he plays higher, he can develop many things.
Hoang Duc's position is not very clear, he also has difficulty finding his rhythm. Hoang Duc needs to be bolder, he is not really himself yet.
- What are the remaining problems with the Vietnam team?
The rhythm and precision in the coordination are not high. The opponents are still weak, the Vietnamese team still plays better but the system lacks flexibility. The Vietnamese team still lacks goals in the first half. That is not a mistake but we do not have a solution to score and force the opponent to advance.
There still needs to be adjustments for the Vietnamese team to be more complete. The players playing on the wing are not really synchronized. For example, sometimes Tien Anh on the right wing coordinates well with Van Toan. In modern football, crossing the ball deep in the corner flag is not necessarily good. The attacking point of the Vietnamese team needs to be adjusted.
Xuan Son scored 2 goals.
- The Vietnamese team uses the most players in the AFF Cup 2024, is this flexibility or instability?
It makes sense no matter how you look at it. I'll say it on the positive side. Coach Kim Sang-sik rotates the team to ensure the team's fitness, and has many options for many situations. On the other hand, the Vietnamese team's structure is still gradually stabilizing. In the groups of players, there are some who are stable and some who are not stable, so they need to be replaced.
The Vietnamese team's strength is so uneven that anyone can play.
- Singapore is not the biggest obstacle for the Vietnamese team?
I don’t think this match will be that easy. Singapore are not at their best right now. But this team is solid and disciplined. This makes me think that Vietnam will have an easier time against Malaysia than Singapore. They are quite similar to Indonesia in their match against Vietnam. If the players are not playing well, Vietnam will not be well.
For example, both the wing and the center must coordinate well, with many attacks to win. If we only rely on lucky high balls, even if Xuan Son kicks, the chance of success is still not high.
- Thank you for this conversation.
