Xuan Son sublimated
Nguyen Xuan Son scored 2 goals and made 2 successful passes in the match between Vietnam and Myanmar last night (December 21), helping the Vietnamese team win 5-0. With 5 goals in this match, coach Kim Sang-sik’s team scored nearly the same number of goals as the total number of goals we had through the previous 3 matches (the Vietnamese team scored a total of 6 goals in this match). 3 matches against Laos, Indonesia and Philippines).
Maybe Myanmar is currently quite weak compared to the Vietnamese team. This team plays quite simply, creating conditions for coach Kim Sang-sik’s team to easily catch cards. However, it cannot be denied that Xuan Son’s presence significantly improved the quality of the Vietnamese team’s attacks and finishing shots.
Former national team coach, Mr. Phan Thanh Hung commented: “In terms of team play, with Xuan Son in the striker line, the Vietnamese team’s passes from the bottom up easily determine the destination. When other players coordinate, it is also easy to find a way out in these coordination phases, which is to direct the ball towards Nguyen Xuan Son. Personally, Nguyen Xuan Son handles the ball very well. He hardly missed his teammates’ passes, always knowing how to convert these passes into scoring opportunities for himself and the Vietnamese team.”
As we mentioned before, Nguyen Xuan Son helps solve many attack plans for coach Kim Sang-sik’s team, from long passes, downfield crosses and headers, to situations like midway coordination situation.
When the Vietnamese team made long passes, directing the ball towards Myanmar’s penalty area, Xuan Son used his body (1.86 m tall) and good physical strength to press and glide past. from Myanmar’s defenders, both opening up opportunities for himself and making the opponent’s defenders lose strength because they had to tag him.
When the Vietnamese team plays to stretch the ball and cross from the side to head, Xuan Son is the ideal destination for crosses from the side, because this naturalized striker has the ability to head very effectively. When coach Kim Sang-sik’s team coordinated in the middle, Nguyen Xuan Son also handled these coordination phases well, relying on his good personal technique.
Xuan Son knows how to move smartly to receive the ball and how to make convenient passes to his teammates. Nguyen Xuan Son himself had 2 passes to set up goals for Vi Hao and Tien Linh. In particular, his pass put Tien Linh in a position facing the Myanmar goalkeeper, while the pass for Vi Hao even helped the young player wearing the Binh Duong team face the goal… empty.
In addition, Nguyen Xuan Son’s appearance is also a catalyst, helping his teammates around him play more excitedly. As for the other strikers of the Vietnamese team, there are additional factors to stimulate them to discuss more, because the rest do not want to be left behind by Nguyen Xuan Son.
When Xuan Son and his teammates shine, the Vietnamese team’s time has come. Let’s wait until we can repeat the AFF Cup championship!
