(Dan Tri) - FIFA congratulated naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son (foreign name Rafaelson) with an interesting wordplay. Meanwhile, AFC acknowledged the strength of the Vietnamese team.
The Vietnamese team showed their strength when they won 5-0 against Myanmar in the final match of Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup. This victory helped the "Golden Dragons" win a ticket to continue with the top position in the group with 10 points.

The appearance of Xuan Son really made a difference for the "Golden Dragons". After the match, the FIFA World Cup page (with more than 61 million followers on Facebook) had a line praising Xuan Son. This page even had an extremely interesting wordplay: "Seeing Xuan Son means knowing Spring has come". Xuan Son will certainly be an extremely important factor for the Vietnamese team in the two semi-final matches against Singapore. It has been a long time since Vietnamese football has had such a sharp and high-class striker. Meanwhile, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) also praised the Vietnamese team. They wrote: "After a goalless first half, the Vietnamese team strengthened their strength in the second half and scored 5 goals against Myanmar. Xuan Son has a great influence on the Vietnamese team (Photo: Thanh Dong). Xuan Son showed great influence when contributing 2 goals. The remaining goals of the Vietnamese team were scored by Bui Vi Hao, Quang Hai and Tien Linh. With this result, the Vietnamese team and the Philippines entered the semi-finals of the tournament". Coach Kim Sang Sik's team will face Singapore in the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024. The first leg between the two teams will take place at Jalan Besar Stadium (Singapore) on December 26. The second leg will take place at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) on December 29. The last time the Vietnamese team won the AFF Cup was in 2018. In the two recent tournaments in 2020 and 2022, the "Golden Dragons" reached the semi-finals but could not win the championship. In the AFF Cup 2020, we lost to Thailand in the semi-finals. In the 2022 tournament, the Vietnamese team continued to lose to Thailand in the final.
