Nguyen Dinh Bac is currently the center of attention with his outstanding performance and interesting behind-the-scenes stories. From Que Ngoc Hai's "prophecy" to a Thai hot girl flying to Vietnam to support him, everything paints a portrait of a new, captivating star.
The "DB7" prophecy and the dream of the 2030 World Cup.
Immediately after shining brightly in Hanoi Police FC's victory over Tampines Rovers, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac took advantage of a short break to return to his hometown in Nghe An. There, a meaningful reunion between two generations of stars took place when Dinh Bac visited his senior teammate Que Ngoc Hai. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, the young striker presented the veteran captain with a signed jersey from the entire Vietnam U23 team – the players who had just completed an emotional journey at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship.
In response to that sentiment, Que Ngoc Hai presented his younger teammate with a national team jersey along with a powerful message: "Dinh Bac will lead the Vietnamese national team to the 2030 World Cup." This was not just a polite greeting, but an entrustment of faith from someone who has experienced hundreds of matches into the feet of the "Asian Youth Top Scorer." For Ngoc Hai and the fans, Dinh Bac is now a symbol of new hope, a player capable of realizing the dream of venturing into the international arena that many generations of legendary players before him have yet to fulfill.
Has a Thai beauty fallen for Vietnam and traveled a long distance to become a daughter-in-law?
Amidst the growing hype surrounding Dinh Bac, Pinto Hathairat's appearance at the airport on February 12th with the caption "Heading straight to Vietnam" caused a sensation online. Pinto is no stranger to the internet; she is Thailand's most famous female fan with 2.4 million followers on TikTok, known for her sweet beauty and the stunning figure of a former K-1 fighter.
Notably, Pinto Hathairat has never hidden her special admiration for Vietnam's number 7 striker. Throughout the recent U23 Asian Championship, she continuously posted pictures of Dinh Bac with effusive praise. Her unexpected visit to Vietnam at this time has caused a stir among fans, with many jokingly speculating about a cross-border romance, hoping she will soon become the "bride" of Vietnamese football. Although the purpose of the trip has not been confirmed, Dinh Bac's appeal has clearly transcended borders, conquering even the hearts of those from a rival nation.
A shower of praise from the region: When class is acknowledged.
Not only female fans, but even the most demanding supporters in Southeast Asia have to admire the talent of the 21-year-old striker. From Indonesia to Malaysia, football forums are flooded with comments praising Dinh Bac's calm and classy finish in the CAHN jersey. A Singaporean fan admitted: "Tampines Rovers tried their best, but Dinh Bac's finish was simply world-class."
With 4 goals and 2 assists to win the Golden Boot at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship, Dinh Bac is no longer just a promising young talent but has truly become a formidable "killer" in the penalty area. Praise from international friends and the absolute trust from his senior teammates are becoming his strongest springboard. If he maintains this pace and composure, the scenario of a "DB7" (Dinh Bac's nickname) dominating the World Cup, as Que Ngoc Hai said, is not at all far-fetched.
Dinh Bac was bought by a Chinese club for 10 billion VND, prompting Chinese netizens to mock the price as too high.
