An opportunity for Xuan Son

VHO - In the context of the Vietnamese national team's attack lacking the necessary sharpness, the return of striker Nguyen Xuan Son is seen as a "doping" boost to help the team regain confidence and open up hope in the crucial stage of the campaign in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.

The Vietnamese national team's two recent matches against Nepal revealed a reality: their finishing ability is still not up to par. The team created many opportunities but failed to convert them into goals.

Xuan Son returns to the national team after 11 months.

In this context, the return of Xuan Son, a top-class striker, is much needed and is seen as a very positive sign.

Chau, considered one of the fastest and most decisive attacking players in Vietnamese football, has now fully recovered and is ready to play.

His timely return not only provides a tactical solution but also helps to significantly boost the morale of the attacking line.

Xuan Son's strengths lie in his intelligent positioning, keen sense of goal-scoring, and willingness to face physical challenges.

Against an opponent like Laos – a team likely to play with a large number of defenders – the quick reflexes and ability to maneuver in tight spaces of the 1997-born striker could become the key to unlocking the game.

This is not only a match for him to regain his feel for the ball, but also an opportunity to mark a strong comeback after a long absence.

A goal, or even a direct contribution to the game, would be strong confirmation that Xuan Son is still a player that the Vietnamese national team can rely on in the journey ahead.

For Xuan Son personally, this is perhaps the moment every player has been waiting for: a return to the pitch in the national team's jersey in a match of significant importance.

The coaching staff's trust in him is also clear evidence of his desire to contribute and the form he has shown recently.

“I am very happy that Son is back with the national team. I want to thank his family and everyone who has supported Son for so long. I also thank Nam Dinh Club for their efforts in overcoming the difficult period when Son was absent.”

"For the national team, his return gives us another quality option. I hope Son will have the opportunity to score and leave his mark," said coach Kim Sang-sik about Xuan Son's return.

The 28-year-old striker is ready to take to the field and score against the Laos national team.

The match against Laos is not simply a must-win game; it's also a stepping stone for Vietnam to continue its hopes of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup finals.

Given Malaysia's consistent form, a victory, even a resounding one, would help the Vietnamese team improve both their points total and morale before the crucial match in March next year.

Tonight's match on November 19th will be an opportunity for Xuan Son to mark his return, make a difference, and inspire the journey ahead. Xuan Son is expected to be a key player, creating a crucial boost for the entire team.

An early goal, or an assist that unlocks this striker's defensive line, could help Vietnam play more fluidly, reduce pressure, and increase attacking effectiveness.

If Xuân Son makes good use of the opportunity against Laos, he will not only prove his worth but also contribute to helping the Vietnamese national team overcome difficulties and keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup – a goal the whole team is striving for.
