A few days ago, artistic football star Do Kim Phuc visited Al Nassr Football Club - where Cristiano Ronaldo trains and plays. Here, Do Kim Phuc realized her dream of meeting her idol CR7.
Do Kim Phuc said the time from when she heard the news to when she left for Saudi Arabia was only 4 days. Thanks to the support of the Saudi embassy, the visa process for Do Kim Phuc's trip was quick, taking only one day.
The Vietnamese freestyle player asked his sister to prepare a special gift for Ronaldo, a conical hat with the superstar’s familiar celebration image. The hat also has a picture of the Portuguese and Vietnamese flags and the words “From Vietnam with love”.
Do Kim Phuc took a photo with Ronaldo.
Despite having prepared quite carefully, 2 hours before the flight, Do Kim Phuc was shocked when the drawings on the hat suddenly faded. Immediately, his sister had to drive from home to the airport to redraw it. The gift was then completed and Do Kim Phuc was the last person to board the plane.
In Saudi Arabia, Do Kim Phuc had the opportunity to see Ronaldo training with Al Nassr Club.
“ The feeling of watching Ronaldo practice is hard to describe because this is a private practice session and no one is allowed to record. I found it quite interesting that the children of the players also practiced on the field in a separate corner. At Al Nassr, Ronaldo was like a spiritual leader. He would move around the field and practice with each group and encourage his teammates, ” Do Kim Phuc recalled.
After the training session ended, Do Kim Phuc and his companion, businessman Pham Ngoc Quoc Cuong, had the opportunity to meet and interact with Ronaldo for a few minutes.
“ At that time, I was shaking so much. When he signed an autograph and patted me on the shoulder, I was so happy and excited, it was like I was dreaming. Since the first time I saw him play for MU in 2003 with his amazing moves, I have been hoping to meet him in person one day. After 20 years, that dream has finally come true."
Recalling the moment he personally gave his idol a gift from Vietnam, Do Kim Phuc shared an unforgettable memory: “ When he knew I gave him a hat, Ronaldo was very happy and excited. I also shared with him that the hat was drawn by my sister and she is also a fan of Ronaldo. I also shared more about my admiration for CR7. I talked a lot but unfortunately I spoke quickly and shakily, so afterwards Ronaldo looked dumbfounded and told everyone that… he didn’t understand what I was saying."
Closing the journey of "following the idol", Do Kim Phuc said he still had some regrets because he could not express everything he wanted to say to Cristiano Ronaldo. However, meeting and giving a traditional Vietnamese gift to Ronaldo was beyond imagination. Do Kim Phuc affirmed that he will continue to practice hard to return to participate in tournaments around the world, thereby having more opportunities to travel to many places, meet more famous people, and promote the beauty of Vietnamese culture to international friends.
