Xuân Son reveals his profound love for Vietnam through his documentary film.

The documentary broadcast on VTV1 portrays the professional path and heartfelt love Nguyen Xuân Son has for Vietnam, his adopted country.

The documentary “I am Nguyen Xuân Son” just aired on VTV1 provided a comprehensive view of Nguyen Xuân Son's career journey and personal life. Beyond professional achievements, the film vividly illustrates the special bond the 1997-born striker has with Vietnam, which he considers his second home.

Throughout the narrative, viewers witness Xuân Son's peak moments on the pitch, especially at the AFF Cup 2024 – a tournament where his significant contributions helped the Vietnamese national team clinch the championship. The image of a powerful, effective, and energetic forward is clearly portrayed, highlighting his increasingly crucial role in the tactical system.

Alongside the glory, the film also does not shy away from the challenging phases in Xuân Son's career. A severe injury at the AFF Cup 2024 once forced him away from the field for a long period. However, encouraged by teammates and fans, this striker persevered in recovery and marked his return with goals after 10 months of relentless effort.

Another interesting aspect explored is Xuân Son's daily life, where he appears approachable and somewhat witty. The detail of this player revealing his fear… of frogs when suggested to try a familiar dish brought gentle laughter, making his image more relatable and endearing to viewers.

From a professional perspective, Coach Kim Sang Sik highly values his student's influence: "With Xuân Son, the team's gameplay becomes more diverse. Opposing defenders are forced to focus on Xuân Son. He creates space for surrounding teammates to exploit. A typical example is Tuấn Hải's goal in the match against the Thai national team." This assessment partly explains the crucial tactical role of the naturalized striker.

Above all, the documentary highlights the deep affection Xuân Son holds for Vietnam, from his naturalization journey to participating in social activities. He shares: "This country has given me everything, made me feel at home, always supported me, brought me good friends... Vietnam is a special country for me and my family. My family loves this country very much. Therefore, I dedicate my talent to be able to contribute to the Vietnamese national team." That sincere attachment has shaped a Xuân Son who competes not only for the flag and jersey colors, but also for a genuine love for the land he chose.
