Compare squad value between Vietnam and Thailand teams

(Dan Tri) - Striker Nguyen Xuan Son not only significantly increases the value of the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024, but he is also expected to help the "Golden Dragons" win the Southeast Asian tournament for the third time.

*The first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 p.m. tonight (January 2), at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). Dan Tri will report this match live.

According to statistics from Transfermarkt , naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son is worth 500,000 euros (about 13.3 billion VND). Having Xuan Son in the squad helps the value of the Vietnamese team increase significantly, specifically to 7.25 million euros (about 192.6 billion VND).

However, Xuan Son is not the most valuable player in the Vietnamese team as he ranks second. Instead, the leader is goalkeeper Filip Nguyen when Transfermarkt values him at 550,000 euros (about 14.7 billion VND).

The two players ranked behind are Nguyen Hoang Duc and Pham Tuan Hai (both 400,000 euros). Notably, Quang Hai is only valued at 350,000 euros by Transfermarkt , ranking 6th on the list. The remaining player in the top 5 is Ho Tan Tai (375,000 euros).

Notably, Xuan Son's price is expected to increase significantly after the AFF Cup 2024, after the Brazilian striker shone brightly in the Vietnamese national team. The 27-year-old striker is leading the AFF Cup 2024 top scorer list, scoring 5 goals and 2 assists after only 3 matches.

Nguyen Xuan Son is the spearhead that the Thai team must be most wary of in the two AFF Cup finals, as he possesses comprehensive technique, can finish in many ways (finding well with the left foot, right foot and head), has the ability to run, press and create opportunities for teammates.

However, compared to the Vietnamese team, the value of the Thai team's squad in the AFF Cup is still higher even though the "War Elephants" did not summon many experienced stars in this tournament such as Chanathip Songkrasin, Theerathon Bumathan or Sarach Yooyen...

According to Transfermarkt, the value of the Thai team in the AFF Cup 2024 is about 8.4 million euros, about 1.2 million euros higher than the Vietnamese team. The three most valuable Thai players include Supachok Sarachat, Suphanat Mueanta (both 800,000 euros) and Nicholas Mickelson (650,000 euros).

In the first leg of the final match at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho), the Vietnamese team is still rated higher than Thailand thanks to home field advantage as well as good performance after the last 6 matches.
