Đình Bắc buys a car for his father and builds a house for his mother at age 22

After reaching the peak of his career at 22, Nguyễn Đình Bắc chose a simple way to enjoy his success: buying a car for his father and constructing a new house for his mother as a token of gratitude.

Nguyễn Đình Bắc is experiencing the brightest phase since entering professional football. At the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup, the 2004-born striker became the standout player of the Vietnam U23 team.

Despite physical issues and not being fully recovered from injury, he consistently made a difference on the field, scoring 4 goals, providing 2 assists, and directly contributing to most of the team’s goals. This achievement not only helped Vietnam U23 secure the bronze medal but also placed Đình Bắc at the top of the Golden Boot list, marking a historic milestone for Vietnamese football.

However, when the spotlight fades, what impresses many about Đình Bắc are his very down-to-earth choices off the pitch. According to relatives and friends, once his financial situation stabilized, the 22-year-old striker did not think about personal indulgence but immediately focused on his family.

He decided to purchase a car for his father to ensure safer and more convenient travel, and also built a new house for his mother right next to the old single-story family home in his hometown of Nghệ An.

For Đình Bắc, this was not about showing off but something he had dreamed of since the early days of his football career. Born into a humble family, his journey in football has been closely linked to the silent sacrifices of his parents. Therefore, when he could support himself, the first thing he did was to “repay” those who had always stood behind him.

Returning to Vietnam after the continental tournament, Đình Bắc continued to enjoy personal success. He held in his hands for the first time two major awards: the Vietnam Silver Ball 2025 and the Best Young Male Player of 2025, prizes he had missed attending the gala for earlier due to focusing on the national team.

Notably, the entire prize money of 45 million VND from these two awards was donated by Đình Bắc to the Central Relief Fund, as a way to show social responsibility and a desire to share.

At 22 years old, the striker contracted with Hanoi Police holds an impressive record that many players dream of: consistent performance at the SEA Games, a strong mark at the AFC U23 Championship, and continental individual awards. Yet, what completes Nguyễn Đình Bắc’s image isn’t just the goals or trophies, but how he chooses to use his success to care for his family.

In the eyes of fans, Đình Bắc is not only a rising star but also a beautiful example of a player who respects his roots, remains humble, and shows filial piety even at the peak of his career.
