Former player Trieu Quang Ha has a close relationship with famous player Hong Son. They went through their brilliant youth together from the club level at The Cong to the national team. In the years 1997-1999, the generation of players Hong Son, Trieu Quang Ha, Le Huynh Duc... were considered the golden generation of Vietnamese football.
At that time, Vietnamese football began to make its mark in regional tournaments such as the Tiger Cup, SEA Games... That was also the period when players cried and laughed with fans, they shared the moment of celebrating victory with tears and smiles.
As time passes, Vietnamese football has witnessed the constant changes of the times, new generations of players have grown up and shined, continuing to write new brilliant stories on the field. However, Nguyen Hong Son or Trieu Quang Ha still have their own place in the hearts of fans, especially audiences of the 7X and 8X generations.
When Nguyen Hong Son appeared on the stage of Call Me by Fire when he sang “Niem tin chien thang”, emotional memories came flooding back. Hong Son, as a sports legend, created a very unique color for Call Me by Fire season one.
In a conversation with Lao Dong newspaper, former player Trieu Quang Ha expressed his surprise when he learned that his teammate Nguyen Hong Son participated in Call Me by Fire. Former player - now holding the position of CEO of a business - Trieu Quang Ha revealed, "Actually, Hong Son is not a good singer, but when participating in the art stage, he tried very hard, tried hard, and performed his role very well."
According to former player Trieu Quang Ha, he made a phone call to his teammate: “I jokingly asked Mr. Son if he could continue, and Mr. Son said “probably about to stop”. That shows his great effort and proves that Mr. Son is a great person”.
When sharing, athletes always say that entering the field and participating in entertainment programs brings new colors to their lives, besides the busy competition schedule.
In recent years, game shows and reality TV series have “targeted” athletes, hoping to attract more sports fans.
Call Me by Fire invited two "characters" of sports, former famous player Hong Son and boxer Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat. Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat is a 9-time world champion of the World Muay Thai Federation (WMF), he is also an athlete who won 4 medals at the Southeast Asian Games in Muay Thai.
Coming to the singing contest, both Hong Son and Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat showed the audience aspects that they had never seen before, such as their ability to rap, sing, dance, and perform on stage... The emotional performance of Hong Son and singer S.T Son Thach, or the martial arts performance of Duy Nhat with Kay Tran and Lien Binh Phat in the performance "Giau sang" were outstanding highlights.
In the near future, former athlete Thuy Hien - the golden girl of Vietnamese wushu at one time will also participate in Sister Who Makes Wave 2024. Here, Thuy Hien will compete with professional singers such as Minh Hang, Toc Tien, My Linh... to create a season of Sister Who Makes Wave with promising ratings.
The producers “target” athletes with many purposes, bringing new colors and new breezes to the program. At the same time, this is also a journey for the athletes themselves to bring different experiences and “achievements” in their lives.
