Cao Van Trien is not only known as a persistent and combative midfielder on the pitch, but also a beautiful image of a compassionate player, always passionately looking towards his homeland and community.
For him, football is also a means to spread love, connect compassionate hearts, especially with difficult circumstances in his hometown of Hoai Hai (Hoai Nhon town, former Binh Dinh).
Born and raised in a sunny and windy sea, Cao Van Trien understands more than anyone the hardships and deprivations of his hometown people. Childhood associated with the salty taste of the sea, with the precarious life of fishermen has left him with deep empathy.
Therefore, when he has grown up and has a foothold in the professional football village, the midfielder of Binh Dinh club still always keeps a whole heart towards his roots.
He regularly joins his family and relatives in providing financial support to people in difficult circumstances in the locality, and at the same time stands out to call for the joint efforts of friends and fans through the Fatherland Front and local authorities.
On his personal page, fans rarely see him posting images of competition, scoring goals or flashy moments of a professional player. Instead, most of the articles only revolve around calls to help the poor, advocacy announcements to support families in distress.
For Trien, sharing is the responsibility of a child far from home, not something that needs to be flaunted.
In 2020, Cao Van Trien and his friends established a charity fund called "Waves of Love". Through this fund, many meaningful activities have been organized regularly, in which outstanding are voluntary football tournaments in his hometown.
In 2021, he and close friends organized the "Wave of Love - Spring Tan Suu 2021" football tournament, raising more than 42 million VND and 1 ton of rice to give Tet gifts to disadvantaged families and orphans, helping them have a warmer Tet. This is also a regular program that Trien and her friends maintain annually until now.
In recent years, Cao Van Trien has also regularly organized charity matches or participated in fundraising football matches. He still silently sows love to everyone, especially his hometown compatriots.
Sharing about the motivation for doing charity, Cao Van Trien once expressed that he simply wants to do what he can for his homeland: "Whatever I can do for my homeland, I will do it. There are still many lives in the world that are much more miserable than me, they need to be shared.
The midfielder born in 1993 also said that being able to directly give small gifts to people, especially in difficult times due to natural disasters and epidemics, brings him no less happiness than the feeling of victory on the football field.
With a heart of "giving without waiting to receive back", Cao Van Trien is not only a spiritual support for the people of his hometown but also a beautiful living example in the eyes of teammates and fans.
No matter where he is, no matter what jersey he plays in, he is still Hoai Hai's son, carrying a "wave of love" spreading from the football field to life, from football to humanistic values.
