Nguyen Hiep Dai Vietnam is the player who owns the longest and most notable name in the U17 Vietnam squad participating in the Southeast Asian youth tournament. Behind the both strange and good name of the U17 Nam Dinh captain is the love of football, the desire to contribute to his homeland from his father - Mr. Nguyen Van Dai.
When he was young, Mr. Dai was a well-known player in the amateur football world in Vietnam. Also because he loved the king sport, he gave his two sons names closely related to the round ball.
His eldest son is Nguyen Hiep Milan. During Mr. Dai's time, AC Milan was one of the biggest symbols of European football in particular and the world in general. The overflowing love for the red and black half of Milan was the reason for Mr. Dai to name his first son.
Mr. Dai's love for football changed when he named his second son. Instead of being associated with a great team in the West, he devoted all his affection to the country.
According to the sharing of relatives, Nguyen Hiep Dai Vietnam has both a broad meaning and chivalry. He hopes that in the future, his son can contribute a part of his efforts to his homeland, bringing glory to the Fatherland.
Indeed, Nguyen Hiep Dai Vietnam is gradually realizing his father's wish. After winning the U17 National Championship runner-up with U17 Nam Dinh, the boy named Vietnam was called up by coach Cristiano Roland to the U17 team to participate in the Southeast Asian tournament.
Wearing a shirt with the proud name Vietnam, this young man also hopes to try his best, helping his team aim for success.
