After the second leg of the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Club Championship final, central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh received a lot of criticism when he missed a penalty shootout, causing Hanoi Police to lose the championship to Buriram United.
The match ended with a score of 3-3 after 120 minutes, and the defeat on the 11m mark of Hanoi Police left many regrets.
After the failure of Hanoi Police, Viet Anh's mother - Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tham sent emotional words of encouragement to her son.
She shared: "Sometimes I feel tired. As for children, let them travel a lot, experience a lot to see what they are going through, the sadness, pain and even resentment, it is just a small thing.
You don't need to be the best or be praised the most, you just need to live a decent, grateful life and constantly try."
The loving and understanding sharing lines from her mother have spread strongly on social networks, becoming a great source of spiritual encouragement for Viet Anh in difficult times.
The failure may be a stumble, but with love and trust from the family, the young central defender will certainly stand up more strongly, continuing his journey to assert himself in the Hanoi Police and national team jersey.
