Nguyen Xuan Son returns to the Vietnam national team: Strength from his performance of 8 goals in 6 matches.
Striker Nguyen Xuan Son has officially returned to the Vietnamese national team squad under coach Kim Sang-sik, bringing with him his impressive goal-scoring form in preparation for the 2027 Asian Cup.
Head coach Kim Sang-sik has officially announced the preliminary squad for the Vietnamese national team's crucial FIFA Days training camp. The focus of attention is on striker Nguyen Xuan Son, who is maintaining his devastating form and enjoys the absolute trust of the South Korean strategist thanks to his incredible consistency in attack.
Immediately after the announcement, the star striker expressed his happiness on his personal page. With an emotional status update: "Wearing this red jersey is always a source of pride," Xuan Son not only received thousands of interactions but also spread a spirit of determination to his fans. This move confirms the excited mindset of the naturalized striker before the new challenges with the national team.
Killer instinct and incredible performance.
Looking at the statistics, experts are surprised by the effectiveness that Xuan Son has brought. He boasts an impressive goal-scoring record with 8 goals in just his last 6 appearances. This number is proof of the striker's ability to choose positions and his diverse finishing skills.
Notably, Xuan Son's return was not without its challenges. He had to temporarily leave the pitch due to injury. However, his impressive comeback in November 2025 with a goal against Laos dispelled all doubts about his form. His "killer" instinct seems to have remained intact, even sharper, after his recovery period.
Strategy for the 2027 Asian Cup
This training camp is considered strategically important for the future of the Vietnamese national team under coach Kim Sang-sik. According to the plan, the entire team will have a friendly match against Bangladesh. This is seen as an important test for the coaching staff to assess the squad and experiment with new tactical options.
The longer-term goal of this training camp is to build the best possible psychological momentum before the decisive match against Malaysia in the final round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. The presence of Nguyen Xuan Son not only brings reassurance to the attack but also gives coach Kim Sang-sik more options in building a high-pressing style of play.
Coach Kim's philosophy of prioritizing players in top form is being realized through the inclusion of Xuan Son. With his confidence soaring, fans have every right to expect this striker to continue scoring goals, helping Vietnamese football achieve favorable results in its quest to qualify for continental competitions.
