The biggest topic in Vietnam is naturalization. As the best striker in the V-League, a Vietnamese professional soccer team, is wearing the uniform of the Vietnamese national team, attention is focusing on whether he will be able to display his capability throughout Southeast Asia. Of course, the Vietnamese national team coach Kim Sang-sik is also looking forward to it. The main character is Hafaelthorne, and now Nguyen Thuonthorne, who has a Vietnamese name.

The Vietnamese national soccer team led by head coach Kim Sang-sik will have a match against Myanmar in the fifth round of the 2024 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup Group B, which is scheduled at 8 p.m. on Tuesday (Korea time). Vietnam, which is leading Group B with two wins and one draw, will advance to the semifinals on its own if it results in a draw or higher in the match against Myanmar. In fact, the team seems to be advancing to the semifinals as No. 1 in the group.
Ahead of the match against Myanmar, Vietnamese media are paying particular attention to one player. The attention is directed at Nguyen Xuansson, who is currently considered the best foreign striker in the V-League with a completely different hairstyle and skin color. Nguyen Xuansson, who had the name of Hapaelsson, is 27 years old this year and has led Tupsan Namdine FC to win the 2023-2024 season, and is currently receiving the most explosive attention in Vietnam as he swept the top scorer (31 goals), MVP, and V-League's best foreign player award.

Lee, who is in his fifth year this year after entering Vietnam, acquired Vietnamese citizenship in September, but has delayed his A-match debut so far to meet the rules of FIFA naturalized players. Nguyen Xuansson, who was most likely to play against the Philippines but could not play, is highly likely to play against Myanmar. This is because head coach Kim Sang-sik effectively announced his participation in the preliminary press conference for the match against Myanmar on the 20th.
Nguyen Xuansson said, "Everyone is concentrating on the game, uniting together, and maintaining confidence. And I think all of this is in the process of preparing for the next game. I will work hard to unite as a team and win."

Vietnamese media asked how I feel now that I became a member of the Vietnamese national team. Nguyen Xuansson said, "It's a great moment in my life. I want to enjoy the game, and the stardom and the moments that come from the players make me very happy. I will try to maintain my physical condition and help the team. For now, I only focus on tomorrow's game. I am preparing well." 메이저놀이터

Attention was also drawn to whether to sing the national anthem or not. The melody of the Vietnamese national anthem has a traditional Vietnamese feel rather than a Western-style song, which makes it very difficult for Nguyen Xuansson, a native of Brazil. As she is still communicating in English instead of Vietnamese, her difficult Vietnamese language will inevitably make her more difficult.

Nguyen Xuansson, however, said, "I'm confident and I can do it." Nguyen Xuansson said, "I'm trying to learn every day, and I'm also learning to communicate with people. It's important to others, but it's also very important to me." He is putting a lot of effort into melting down as a Vietnamese player.

Coach Kim Sang-sik is also pleased with Nguyen Xuansson's pledge to do his best not only in the game but also outside the game. Coach Kim even added meaning, "The joining of Nguyen Xuansson is a great luck for Vietnamese soccer."

In the 2024-2025 season, coach Kim is showing his ability to produce the best offensive points by playing in seven games and scoring seven goals and one assist, and he seems to be more trusting because it is the most reliable resource for the offense. There is also an expectation that Nguyen Xuansson will be able to solve the concerns about the somewhat disappointing attack power in each of the past two games. Attention is focusing on whether the Brazilian goaltender, wearing a Vietnamese uniform, will really meet Kim Sang-sik's expectations.
