According to statistics from Daily Mail, in 2024, the Brazilian striker scored 40 goals for Nam Dinh Club and the Vietnam national team. In the Vietnam national team, Xuan Son scored 5 goals after 3 appearances at the AFF Cup 2024. The remaining 35 goals were scored by this striker for Nam Dinh Club.
This is an extremely impressive number for the striker born in 1997. On the world level, he is only inferior to world-famous stars including Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon, 62 goals), Erling Haaland (Man City, 49 goals), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich, 46 goals), Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr, 43 goals), Wu Lei (Shanghai Port, 42 goals), Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona, 42 goals) and Jonathan David (Lille, 40 goals).
In particular, Xuan Son has more goals than Mbappe (39 goals). Messi is not even in the top 10 best strikers in the world in 2024.
The Daily Mail commented: “The lesser-known pair Ayoub El Kaabi and Rafaelson (Nguyen Xuan Son) playing in Greece and Vietnam respectively have both had excellent results, scoring 40 goals in 2024.”
This is the first time a player from the Vietnamese national team has made it into the top 10 list of the world's top scorers in a calendar year. That shows how dangerous Xuan Son is.
The Brazilian-born striker is also the most anticipated face of the Vietnamese team in the two final matches of the AFF Cup 2024 against Thailand. Coach Masatada Ishii of Thailand also admitted that Xuan Son is the most dangerous player of the Vietnamese team. He affirmed that he has a way to "kill" this striker but does not want to make it public.
Xuan Son is facing a great opportunity to win the title of Top Scorer of the AFF Cup 2024. This striker is leading the tournament's scoring list with 5 goals.
The first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 p.m. on January 2 at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). The rematch between the two teams will take place at Rajamangala Stadium on January 5.
