Bóng đá Việt Nam thống trị ĐNÁ: CĐV Thái Lan tâm phục
Following their historic hat-trick of titles in 2025, Thai media and fans unanimously acknowledged Vietnam's number one position in Southeast Asian football.
A hat-trick of titles solidifies his position.
The year 2025 has gone down in Vietnamese football history with an unprecedented achievement: sweeping all three regional titles, including the ASEAN Championship, the SEA Games, and the ASEAN U23 Championship. This resounding success is not only a strong affirmation of the strength of the "Golden Star Warriors" but also creates a wave of widespread recognition throughout Southeast Asia, especially from their biggest rival, Thailand.
This absolute dominance has forced the media and fans in the region to reconsider the power map of Southeast Asian football.
Regional media unanimously bowed in admiration.
Not only reputable regional newspapers, but even Thai community pages have had to acknowledge this. The fan page เกรียนบุรีรัมย์v2 frankly called Vietnam the "king of Southeast Asia," emphasizing that this hat-trick of titles is a historic milestone that not many countries have achieved.
This view has been echoed by Indonesian media. The newspaper Bola analyzed that Vietnamese football is steadily and firmly overtaking Thailand for the top spot. The newspaper also praised coach Kim Sang-sik, who is said to have re-established "iron discipline" and ushered in a new "golden age," reminiscent of the successful period under coach Park Hang-seo.
"We have to accept the truth."
Faced with irrefutable evidence, many Thai fans have expressed their acknowledgment, mixed with bitterness. On online forums, it's not difficult to find comments expressing their complete acceptance.
The Lovery Enter account wrote: "Currently, Vietnam is far superior to Thailand, at every level and age group."
A fan named JI JO offered a more in-depth analysis: “That’s right, Vietnam is stronger than us now. They play fast-paced football, tackle aggressively, and have abundant stamina that shows no signs of diminishing. Meanwhile, Thai players only last half a match before running out of energy and lacking desire… We have to accept the reality.”
Thậm chí, một số người hâm mộ còn tỏ ra bi quan về tương lai bóng đá nước nhà. Một bình luận đáng chú ý cho rằng: "Bóng đá Đông Nam Á gần như quốc gia nào cũng phát triển, đặc biệt là Việt Nam, giờ đã bỏ xa chúng ta. Còn chúng ta thì vẫn như cũ... Thôi thì mang ngân sách đi phát triển các môn thể thao khác còn hơn."
Những phản ứng này cho thấy vị thế của bóng đá Việt Nam không chỉ được thể hiện qua những chiếc cúp, mà còn được thừa nhận rộng rãi bởi chính các đối thủ trong khu vực, một sự công nhận có giá trị hơn bất kỳ danh hiệu nào.
