Nguyen Xuan Son responded strongly after being told by a Myanmar player that he is 'not Vietnamese'.

"Myanmar's number 4 player told me after the match that I am not Vietnamese. I replied that I love and am attached to this country. My family and I have lived here for 5 years. This is my homeland. I feel comfortable being in Vietnam and I will try my best to contribute to the national team," said Xuan Son.

The person Xuan Son mentioned was center-back Soe Moe Kyaw. He had a very difficult match with the Vietnamese team and received a yellow card in the first half. Being continuously passed and conceding 5 goals made the player born in 1999 somewhat mentally depressed.

It was Xuan Son who continuously caused difficulties for Soe Moe Kyaw, so it is understandable why he had inappropriate words for the new player of the Vietnamese team.

In the match against Myanmar, Nguyen Xuan Son started from the beginning. He quickly had 2 shots and 2 favorable passes to his teammates, but the Vietnamese team could not score in the first 45 minutes.

In the beginning of the second half, Xuan Son crossed the ball for Vi Hao to open the score. 6 minutes later, the striker born in 1997 himself scored to double the gap. He ended the day successfully with another goal and a pass for Tien Linh to score into the Myanmar net.

The striker said: "I feel very happy, this is a special night for me, the players and the fans. I will never forget this day in my life. Thank you to the fans, teammates and coaches for supporting me. I will enjoy this night.

In the first half we missed a few chances but the team has some young players so it's normal to be nervous when finishing. In the second half the team came back strong and scored many goals. It's true that my family and I learned the Vietnamese national anthem little by little, practicing every day. We respect the team, the fans and everyone. Whenever I have free time, I learn Vietnamese to connect with everyone. Hopefully in 2-3 years I can talk to everyone."
