Xuan Son practices hard
In Nam Dinh, Xuan Son still takes advantage of his time off to practice at home. On his personal page, he posts videos of leg stretching and abdominal exercises. He was advised by the doctors at Vinmec Hospital that even though he was happy during Tet, he should not forget the task of gently recovering after the surgery. At the same time, Xuan Son also needs to pay attention to his nutrition to avoid gaining too much weight or fat. Nutrition is extremely important if a male striker wants to recover soon and return to the field as quickly as possible.

In the video posted by Xuan Son, he practices with a friend while his wife looks after their sons. In 5 years in Vietnam, perhaps this year is the year Xuan Son’s family celebrates the most special Tet because they are Vietnamese citizens, have both won the V-League championship and won the AFF Cup with the Vietnamese team. Xuan Son’s wife also bought peach trees and chrysanthemums and decorated the house in a Vietnamese Tet style.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu also reunited with his family in Thai Binh. On his personal page, he posted a photo of him wrapping banh chung and looking after his baby. Last year was also a breakthrough year for Dinh Trieu. At the age of 33, when he was called up to the national team for the first time, he was trusted by coach Kim Sang-sik to choose to start and shine brightly, becoming “Best Goalkeeper of 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.

As for the captain of the Vietnamese team, Do Duy Manh, he celebrated Tet in Hanoi with his wife Quynh Anh and his son and daughter. On the 28th of Tet, Duy Manh posted a video of eating with his family with the line sharing: “At the end of the year, a small family meeting. What worked well last year will continue to be promoted. As for the bad things, try to do better in the new year.”
In the recent AFF Cup journey, Duy Manh was trusted by coach Kim Sang-sik and the coaching staff to give him the captain’s armband. He has also proven that he is strong enough, dedicated enough and mature enough to take on this responsibility. Both in the game and on the sideline, he showed maturity in both playing technique and behavior to be worthy of the captain’s armband.

And the ‘hot boy’ of Vietnamese football – Nguyen Thanh Chung, is no different from his brothers in the team, spending Tet time with his small family. He and his wife and son went to take pictures of Ao dai at the studio and received many compliments because the whole family was “evenly beautiful”. Thanh Chung and To Uyen couple got married in 2022 and have a baby boy who looks exactly like his father.

AFF Cup 2024 is considered the best tournament of Thanh Chung’s career. He showed certainty, composure and excellent ability to read the game, helping to firmly protect the home team’s goal against the opponent’s dangerous strikers. With strong cover, aerial combat and dispute skills, Thanh Chung became an irreplaceable pillar. He is also the player with the most minutes played in the tournament, surpassing both the goalkeeper and other excellent players on the team. Thanh Chung’s performances not only helped the Vietnamese team keep many important clean sheets but also affirmed his position as one of the top midfielders in Southeast Asia at the present time.
