Shortly after receiving the news of his recall to the Vietnam national team, naturalized striker Nguyễn Xuân Son shared an enthusiastic message on his personal Facebook page.
Last weekend, coach Kim Sang Sik decided to summon Nguyễn Xuân Son back to the Vietnam national team for the FIFA Days training camp. This was quite surprising since the Brazil-born striker had not played any official matches yet. He only appeared briefly in a friendly match for Nam Định. However, Coach Kim and the coaching staff trusted Xuân Son’s fitness level and gave him this opportunity.
In response to this trust, Xuân Son showed great enthusiasm. The forward immediately posted a valuable photo on his personal Facebook: wearing the red and yellow number 12 jersey, tightly marked by two Thai players, yet still charging forward with the ball at his feet. The short caption read: "I'm hungry."
