On the morning of June 26, information about football player Vo Minh Hieu (22 years old, residing in Tinh An commune, Quang Ngai city) - who died in the accident of a car carrying players from Quang Nam youth football club - spread throughout the poor countryside. In the dilapidated, old level 4 house in the poor countryside of Tan Lap hamlet, Ngoc Thach village, Tinh An commune, Quang Ngai city, many people came to visit and encourage the family.
Sitting absent-mindedly, staring into space as if lifeless, Mr. Vo Thanh Son (54 years old, Vo Minh Hieu's father), said that since childhood, Hieu had been passionate about playing soccer. Every afternoon, Hieu often invited his friends in the neighborhood to play soccer on the village road. When he was in 5th grade, Hieu joined the school team to play in tournaments and won the championship. After that, Hieu was recruited by his teachers to join the provincial team and went to other provinces and cities to play in amateur tournaments.
Neighbors came to offer condolences to the family of football player Vo Minh Hieu.
Playing football quite well, Hieu caught the eye of the scouts of SHB Da Nang football club. They quickly worked with his family and sent Hieu to Da Nang for training, both studying and playing football. "Since then, Hieu has lived far away from his family. During holidays, he would take the bus home to visit his parents, help his parents cut grass for the cows, and do farm work," said Mr. Son.
According to Mr. Son, about 3 years ago, Hieu moved to practice and play for the Quang Nam Youth Football Club. At first, Hieu played as a midfielder, then the coach promoted him to the striker position and gradually became a mainstay in the team's attack. "Seeing my son being away from home for so long, I advised him to stop focusing on his studies, take the entrance exam to a university, then go to work because playing football forever would not work. At first, he refused because he was only passionate about football, but his sister encouraged and analyzed him, and Hieu finally agreed to take the entrance exam to Da Nang University of Economics. Now he is in his second year when the heartbreaking accident happened," said Mr. Son.

I hope his family can overcome the pain," Mr. Vuong shared.
