In the match between U14 Hanoi and U14 Hoai Duc in round 3, Ly Trung Hieu scored for the capital team. Instead of celebrating in the usual way, the 14-year-old player ran to the corner of the field, pulled his shirt open to reveal a handwritten scribble: "Please stop drinking, father."

That simple moment quickly spread on social networks, making many people emotional. Behind that celebration is an emotional story. The young defender of Hanoi shared: "Currently, my father has signs of liver disease as well as diabetes. I feel very sad because the friends around me do not think about my father's health."

Trung Hieu continued to express: “I was very sad, because I just wanted my father to be healthy. Before the match, I told my friends that I intended to make a shirt with that message, and everyone immediately helped. The whole team agreed that if anyone scored, they would let me celebrate with them and send a message to my father.”

Trung Hieu's small message went further than expected. His family saw the picture, called to congratulate him and were moved by his son's heart.

Born in Ho Chi Minh City but moved to Hanoi early to pursue his passion, Trung Hieu had to be independent from a young age, training and competing far from his family. During the days he missed home, the image of his parents was always the motivation to help him overcome all difficulties.

“My father is an emotional person, always teaching me to be diligent and know how to care for others. I just hope my parents can rest assured that I will try my best to become a professional player,” Hieu said.

Currently, U14 Hanoi leads the rankings with 9 points after 3 rounds. Following behind are U14 PVF and U14 SLNA with 7 points each.
