Nguyen Thai Son delighted many viewers when he publicly "advertised" pickles and vegetables for sale on social media. In reality, the midfielder, born in 2003, works at a food stall near his home, selling his family's produce, including pickles and vegetables, in a market in Thanh Hoa city. He received much praise for his filial piety towards his parents.
Nguyen Thai Son will not participate in the 2024 AFF Cup. The Dong A Thanh Hoa player was dropped from the squad at the last minute by coach Kim Sang-sik. This did not surprise many people. Thai Son, along with Bao Toan, were two of the rare players who did not play a single minute in the three friendly matches in South Korea. Nevertheless, Thai Son still has many opportunities in the future because coach Kim Sang-sik highly values his abilities.

For now, Nguyen Thai Son is highly likely to be the captain of the Vietnam U22 team participating in the 33rd SEA Games in 2025 in Thailand. In recent training camps, Nguyen Thai Son has been entrusted with an important role by coach Kim Sang-sik.
As for the current Vietnamese national team, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Chau Ngoc Quang, Le Pham Thanh Long, and Doan Ngoc Tan will be the players controlling the midfield.
In their opening match, the Vietnamese team won 4-1 against Laos away from home. The Golden Star Warriors will face Indonesia at 8:00 PM on December 15th. The Vietnamese team had more rest than their opponents as they did not have to play their second match.
Nguyen Tien Linh commented on the upcoming match against Indonesia: " We will do better against Indonesia. The match against Indonesia is the most important match in the group stage, deciding the top spot in Group B. We will rest and prepare as best as we can for the match against Indonesia at home ."
After the first round, the Vietnamese team leads Group B with 3 points and a goal difference of +3. The Indonesian team defeated Myanmar 1-0 and is ranked second in the group. The Vietnamese team still has matches against Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar.
