Who will be the top scorer of ASEAN Cup 2024?
ASEAN Cup 2024 is the gathering place of the top strikers of Southeast Asia. Join Nghe An Newspaper to name the strong candidates for the title of Top Scorer of this tournament.
1. Suphanat Mueanta (Thailand)
The striker born in 2002 is considered by experts to be one of the best strikers in "lowland" football at the moment. After an unsuccessful "overseas" trip (joining Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Belgium), Suphanat Mueanta has played brilliantly for Buriram United.
In the opening match atASEAN Cup 2024of the Thai team, the 22-year-old striker scored a double, helping the team nicknamed "war elephants" have a resounding victory with a score of 10 - 0 against the East Timor team. Indeed, Suphanat Mueanta is a "killer" in the penalty area.
2. Nguyen Tien Linh (Vietnam)
It is almost certain that the player currently playing for Becamex Binh Duong will be trusted by coach Kim Sang-sik in the upcoming matches of the Vietnam national team. With his proven class, Nguyen Tien Thanh will have many opportunities to score goals when receiving support from Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Pham Tuan Hai...
Don't forget, Nguyen Tien Linh won the Golden Boot award at the AFF Cup 2022, along with Teerasil Dangda of Thailand. In the past, apart from the striker born in 1997, no Vietnamese player has won the above award. Will Nguyen Tien Linh be able to repeat his achievement?
3. Marselino Ferdinan (Indonesia)
Although only playing in the midfielder position, Ferdinan's ability to score goals is extremely sharp. 2 goals against Saudi Arabia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia on November 19 are clear proof of the dangerousness of the star born in 2004.
Possessing a foundation of excellent individual technique and sharp tactical vision, Marselino Ferdinan often makes smart moves to tear the opponent's net apart. It is no coincidence that Marselino Ferdinan is known as "Indonesia's Son Heung-min".
4. Nguyen Xuan Son (Vietnam)
In terms of goal-scoring ability, no striker is better than the striker currently playing for Nam Dinh Steel. Unfortunately, it was not until the last match of the Vietnamese team in the group stage that the player born in 1997 officially got to play.
If coach Kim Sang-sik and his team advance far in the 2024 ASEAN Cup, the opportunity for Nguyen Xuan Son to score many goals and win the Golden Boot is not small. Hopefully, Nguyen Xuan Son will have a successful tournament with the Vietnamese team.
5. Ahmad Syafiq (Malaysia)
Coming to the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Malaysian team cannot bring many quality faces. Not being able to play alongside excellent teammates will make the striker born in 1995 have less opportunities to score goals.
The proof is that in the 2-2 draw between Malaysia and Cambodia on December 8, Ahmad Syafiq had a disappointing performance. And the Johor Darul Tazim striker was taken off the field by coach Pau Marti Vicente at the beginning of the second half.
