Striker Nguyen Tien Linh is not only known as an excellent striker of the Vietnamese national team, but also a charming "meme saint" in the eyes of the online community with the saying "sports is never giving up" that once caused a storm on social networks.
The story behind the funny "slogan"
In an interview with FPT Play , Tien Linh shared that the saying "sports is never giving up" was originally just a status posted on Facebook after a tiring training session. "I just thought it was just for fun, but I didn't expect it to be shared and noticed by so many people."
From a seemingly accidental status, the guy suddenly became an internet phenomenon.

"When I go out, people often tease me with that sentence, and I'm really happy because people remember me for my humor and charm," Linh added.
This humor does not overshadow the sincere and profound side of the striker from Binh Duong. Behind the image of the “meme saint” is a filial son who always cares about his family.
Warm Tet with family
After a busy year with a tight competition schedule and especially the successful journey with the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024, what Tien Linh wants most is to return home to celebrate Tet with his family and then devote himself to Binh Duong Club.
He shared: "After hours of intense competition, I just want to gather with my grandparents and parents to celebrate a warm Tet together." Linh always feels the love and care from his family, especially from his grandparents in the countryside. "My grandparents always encourage me after every match, even though it's only through a small screen, I know they're always watching," he confided.

Besides resting, Tien Linh also wants to help his family prepare for a full Tet holiday. He believes that the moments of reunion, sharing plans for the new year or looking back on the past are the most precious things of the year.
Spread love to the needy
Not only stopping at his love for his family, Tien Linh also set a higher goal for the new year: helping those in difficult circumstances. He shared with determination: "I hope that in the new year, I can carry out many plans to help the poor, not only in Binh Duong but also across the country." Linh said he planned to visit and support people in special circumstances, bringing joy and hope to them.
Tien Linh was honored by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union as 'Beautiful Youth of 2024' for his contributions to the community.
Tien Linh ended the story with a simple but meaningful wish: "I hope my loved ones are always healthy and happy, and the new year will be a journey for me to spread more good things."
