Striker duo Tien Linh - Xuan Son had a successful debut together

Welcome the twin duo Tien Linh - Xuan Son

On his personal Facebook page, striker Nguyen Tien Linh posted a photo of him and Nguyen Xuan Son celebrating with the message: "Congratulations on your debut."

Immediately, this status received strong response from fans, with 34 thousand likes after only 10 hours, along with nearly a thousand lively comments.

In the post-match interview, Tien Linh shared: "This match is the first time Xuan Son has played for the Vietnam national team, and it is also the first time he and I have played together.

As everyone has seen the match, both have a common voice, connecting with each other in every pass. In the next stage of the tournament, Son and I will try to play well, bringing victory to Vietnamese football fans."

"Xuan Son wearing the national team jersey is a good sign. The proof is that he performed very well on the field in this match and scored 2 goals in his first time wearing the national team jersey. Son and I will compete for positions in the healthiest way, or the head coach can use both of us.

But I think the team's victory is always the most important thing. The road ahead is still very long, the whole team must work together to win many victories, bringing joy to the fans," Tien Linh continued.

It can be said that Xuan Son is the most mentioned name in Vietnamese football right now, after the most successful debut in the history of the Vietnamese team when he scored 4/5 goals (2 goals, 2 assists).

Harmonious competition

The Brazilian striker has won the hearts of fans with his dedicated, aggressive playing style, strong in disputes and delicate in ball handling situations.

Tien Linh and Xuan Son each had an assist for the other to score.

In particular, the conversation between him and the Myanmar defender showed Xuan Son's respect and special love for the land and people of Vietnam, when he and his family learned the national anthem and promised to soon speak fluent Vietnamese.

For the first time in many years, the Vietnamese team has a talented striker pair like Tien Linh - Xuan Son, both born in 1997 and possessing the sharp qualities of strikers.

In terms of qualities, Xuan Son is superior thanks to the Brazilian player's strong physique, the ability to press and play with his back to the goal when needed, and can operate independently both "in the air" and "on the ground".

Meanwhile, Tien Linh is still the top striker in Southeast Asia thanks to his ability to run without the ball, intelligently sense space, and when needed, can drop deep to "supply ammunition" for his teammates.

In the 5-0 victory over Myanmar, Tien Linh entered the field in the 62nd minute, played nearly 40 minutes on the field (including extra time) and had many "smooth" coordination situations with his new friend Xuan Son, in which each had an assist for the other to score.

This shows that both are actively competing with each other and especially are ready to support each other in scoring goals because the highest priority is the success of the Vietnamese team.

Hopefully, coach Kim Sang-sik's Vietnam team will continue to maintain this harmonious competition, so that each position can maximize their ability with the goal of reaching the final of the AFF Cup 2024, before aiming for the 3rd Southeast Asian championship in history.
