Nearly a week after the second leg of the final, the AFF Cup media team compiled interesting details and statistics about the tournament. Among them, the championship of the Vietnamese team was mentioned again with 3 factors.
"Vietnam - Korea formula creates victory" , commented the AFF Cup homepage.
"There is something between the Korean coaches and the Vietnamese national team. The 'Golden Star Warriors' rose to new heights under coach Park Hang Seo in the 2017-2023 period.
Former Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors coach Kim Sang-sik was appointed as head coach of the Vietnam national team in May 2024. Just eight months after taking office, the former South Korean defender brought the Vietnamese team back to the Southeast Asian throne.
Coach Kim Sang-sik helps the Vietnamese team win the AFF Cup 2024.
Coach Kim Sang-sik is facing a lot of pressure because the performance of the Vietnamese team before the AFF Cup is not good. The Korean coach himself is also mentally prepared for the scenario of being fired early. However, the Vietnamese team is playing better and better.
The appearance of Nguyen Xuan Son was one of the turning points that helped the Vietnamese team overcome the most difficult challenges and win the championship. The AFF Cup homepage also emphasized the role of the striker born in 1997.
"The key factor in the championship of the Vietnamese team this time is striker Nguyen Xuan Son. Having just debuted for the national team in the group stage against Myanmar, the 27-year-old player unexpectedly became the top scorer with 7 goals, 5 of which came in the semi-finals and finals, breaking the record for the most goals scored by a Vietnamese player in an AFF Cup.
Xuan Son was also the best player of the tournament. He became the second player to win two individual titles, after Noh Alam Shah in 2007 ," the AFF Cup homepage wrote about the main striker of the Vietnamese team.
This article also mentioned Bui Vi Hao and Khuat Van Khang - rare U23 players in the Vietnam national team. Coach Kim Sang-sik gave these two players the chance to start in some matches. Vi Hao made his mark with his aggressiveness and scored a goal in the match against Myanmar in the group stage.
