Dinh Bac apologizes to fans after the loss to China U23.

VHO - Sharing on his personal page, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac apologized to fans after the U23 Vietnam team's defeat against U23 China in the semi-finals of the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Championship.

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone," the striker born in 2004 posted on his personal page after the 0-3 defeat against China U23 in the semi-finals.

The status update and image were shared by Dinh Bac after the semi-final match.

Below the post, Dinh Bac received many words of encouragement from family, friends, colleagues, and fans.

Most comments agreed that Dinh Bac and his U23 Vietnam teammates played with utmost effort and had a very impressive tournament.

In the semi-final match against China U23, Dinh Bac was once again on the bench. This was the fourth consecutive match in which the player born in 2004 was not named in the starting lineup.

Dinh Bac was brought on in the second half by coach Kim Sang-sik, but he was closely marked by the Chinese U23 defense and couldn't make much of an impact during his time on the field.

Previously, Dinh Bac only came on as a substitute in the second half when Vietnam U23 played against Saudi Arabia U23 and Kyrgyzstan U23 in the group stage and in the quarter-final match against UAE U23.

Dinh Bac and his teammates had a successful tournament.

Although Dinh Bac wasn't in his best physical condition at the tournament, every time he came onto the field, the number 7 of the Vietnam U23 team left a significant mark, contributing to his team's victories and advancement to the semi-finals.

Although he couldn't help the Vietnam U23 team reach the final for the second time in history, Dinh Bac and his teammates' performance throughout the journey was extremely impressive, bringing emotion and pride to millions of fans back home.

Now, the important task for Dinh Bac and his teammates is to quickly stabilize their morale and prepare well for the third-place match against U23 South Korea on January 23rd.
