At the 2025-2026 Southeast Asian Champions League, striker Xuan Son is playing sublimely, helping Nam Dinh get a ticket to the semi-finals.
Xuan Son scored a hat-trick against Shan United (Myanmar), a double against Bangkok United (Thailand) and most recently a double against Lion City Sailors (Singapore).
That was the impressive return after injury of the Nam Dinh striker. Remember, at this time he has not reached the highest physical condition and form after injury.
As Nam Dinh coach - Mr. Mauro Jeronimo said: "Let's imagine when Xuan Son returns to 100% form, how dangerous he will be".
After the match against Lion City Sailors, Xuan Son said: "My teammates always try to create many opportunities and the ball to finish. I am confident in my scoring ability, but still need to improve my defensive ability to support the team better.
I want to win and I want to be champion. With the current force and quality players, if the whole team adheres to the tactical intentions of the coaching staff, we believe we can face any opponent fairly”.
Xuan Son's return has helped Nam Dinh stand before the opportunity to win titles in the regional arena. Even, this is also a positive sign for the team when returning to the V.League arena, where Nam Dinh has not had good results since the beginning of the season when Son is absent.
Before the last match of the group stage of the C1 Southeast Asian Cup 2025-2026, Nam Dinh will meet Johor Darul Ta'zim. This is a match where coach Mauro Jeronimo affirmed that Nam Dinh maintains a consistent fighting spirit, always prepares carefully to aim for victory, despite the tight schedule and big challenges from the top regional opponent.
This is also a match that Xuan Son will continue to be noticed if he participates. He has the opportunity to increase the number of goals in the Southeast Asian club level playground.
Xuan Son's return is also a positive signal sent to the Vietnamese team. In November, this striker, just returning from injury, scored for the Vietnamese team in the match against Laos in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers.
In the near future, the Vietnamese team will have an important match against Malaysia in the final round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. That decisive match will wait for the sublimation of this striker.
In July, the Vietnamese national team will enter the most important tournament of 2026, the ASEAN Cup. Xuan Son is also not outside the plan. Therefore, the performance of the overseas Vietnamese striker is receiving more attention than ever.
The match between Nam Dinh and Johor Darul Ta'zim will take place at 7:30 PM tomorrow (February 5) at Thien Truong Stadium, Ninh Binh province.
