On October 26, in the match between U14 Hanoi and U14 Hoai Duc in round 3 of the 2025 Northern Region U14 Club Football Tournament, player Ly Trung Hieu created a notable image on social networks when he celebrated his goal with a shirt with the words "Please stop drinking beer, father."

Those four words, though short, contain a lot of love and affection from the player wearing number 4 for his father.

Trung Hieu's family runs a small food and seafood shop. Every day, Hieu's father often has to entertain guests. Many days, seeing his father drinking from 7pm until late at night, when the shop closes, Trung Hieu can't help but feel sorry. His father is also showing signs of liver disease and diabetes.

"I felt very sad because the friends around me did not think about my father's health. I was very worried and wanted him to stop drinking beer to stabilize his health, so I thought of that way. Before the match, some other friends helped me make that shirt and agreed that if anyone scored, let me "celebrate with them" to send my message," Ly Trung Hieu shared.

After the special celebration went viral, Trung Hieu’s family received the message and called the player. Out of love for his son, Hieu’s father promised to limit his alcohol consumption.

"My father is a very good person, emotional and straightforward. He always tells me to live and train hard, and to care for others. My biggest dream right now is to try to become a professional player. I will try my best to achieve that goal.

Dad, Mom, and big brother at home, don't worry, I will do my best, I will take care of the future," Ly Trung Hieu shared.

Ly Trung Hieu was born in 2011, is a defender of the Hanoi U14 team competing in the 2025 Northern Region U14 Club Football Tournament. Born in Ho Chi Minh City but moved to Hanoi early to pursue his passion, Trung Hieu formed the habit of living independently from a young age. During the days of missing home, the image of his parents is always the motivation to help this player overcome difficulties.

Trung Hieu is a big fan of Sergio Ramos. He also plays as a center back and learns the strengths and plays football with inspiration from his idol.
