Footballer Nguyen Dinh Bac draws attention during hometown visit
Vietnamese footballer Nguyen Dinh Bac has gained social media attention for a lighthearted moment while visiting his family in Nghe An. During a signing session, the player accidentally misspelled his own name on a fan's shirt, writing “Dinh Bac” as “Dinh Bạc”.
To correct the error without erasing the ink, the player quickly transformed the tone mark into a small heart shape. The clever gesture was praised by fans for its wit and charm.
Bac is currently taking a break from intense training and competition to recover. His club, Cong An Ha Noi, opted to have him remain home rather than traveling to China for their AFC Champions League Elite match against Shanghai Port to allow him time to recuperate.
