In Nam Dinh , Xuan Son is still taking advantage of his time off to train at home. On his personal page, he posted videos of himself doing leg stretches and sit-ups. Doctors at Vinmec Hospital advised him that even during the Tet holiday, he shouldn't forget his task of gentle rehabilitation exercises after surgery. At the same time, Xuan Son also needs to pay attention to his diet to avoid gaining too much weight and fat. Nutrition is extremely important if the striker wants to recover quickly and return to the field as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu also reunited with his family in Thai Binh . On his personal page, he posted a picture of himself wrapping banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) while looking after his young child. The past year was also a breakthrough year for Dinh Trieu. At the age of 33, in his first call-up to the national team, he was trusted by coach Kim Sang-sik to be the starting goalkeeper and shone brightly, becoming the "Best Goalkeeper of the AFF Cup 2024". In an interview with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Coach Kim also commented that Dinh Trieu was his most interesting discovery during the recent AFF Cup journey.

Meanwhile, Vietnam national team captain Do Duy Manh celebrated Tet (Lunar New Year) in Hanoi with his wife Quynh Anh and their son and daughter. On the 28th day of the lunar month, Duy Manh posted a video of himself eating with his family, along with the caption: "A small family gathering at the end of the year. Let's continue to build on what we did well this past year. And for things that weren't so good, let's try to do better in the new year."

During the recent AFF Cup campaign, Duy Mạnh was entrusted with the captain's armband by coach Kim Sang-sik and the coaching staff. He proved that he had the ability, dedication, and maturity to handle this responsibility. Both on and off the field, he demonstrated maturity in both his playing technique and his conduct, proving worthy of the captain's armband.

Duy Mạnh spent the last days of the year with his small family.

As for Vietnam's "hot boy" of football, Nguyen Thanh Chung, just like his teammates, spent the Lunar New Year holiday with his family. He and his wife and son went to a studio to take photos in traditional Vietnamese ao dai dresses and received many compliments for the whole family looking "beautiful." Thanh Chung and his wife, To Uyen, got married in 2022 and have a son who looks exactly like his father.

The 2024 AFF Cup is considered the best tournament of Thanh Chung's career. He displayed composure, calmness, and excellent game reading ability, helping to solidly protect the team's goal against dangerous opposing forwards. With his strong covering, aerial, and tackling skills, Thanh Chung became an irreplaceable pillar. He also had the most playing minutes in the tournament, surpassing even the goalkeeper and other outstanding players in the team. Thanh Chung's performances not only helped the Vietnamese national team keep clean sheets in many important matches but also affirmed his position as one of the top central defenders in Southeast Asia at the present time.
