" I believe that the competition between me and Tien Linh is positive. In the current system, I understand that I will support Tien Linh. He wants to play center forward. As for me, any role in the Vietnam team is an honor. I want to contribute my efforts, support my teammates, and conquer the goals with the Vietnam team.
Tien Linh is a skilled player, a top-class striker. I think the coach will have a way to use me and Tien Linh appropriately. The Vietnamese team's system may use me, or Tien Linh, or both. It's okay. I respect coach Kim Sang-sik's decision ," striker Nguyen Xuan Son told the media on the afternoon of December 6.

And now I am a Vietnamese player. I was in Laos, with the best players, the best form of Vietnamese football. I was trained by a good coach. Everything was great.
I want to thank the Vietnamese fans. My family and I have lived in Vietnam long enough to feel the friendliness, closeness and warmth of friends and people around me. I will try my best, for every victory, for every goal, for every title for the Vietnamese team ."
