Dinh Bac was very skillful when he was "tricked" into asking about Cam Ly, and was accused of being a patriarchal figure who was worried about the bride's family.

When asked about his ideal girlfriend, Dinh Bac didn't give specific criteria, only mentioning his career, which left fans both applauding and worried for the "girl."

Specifically, during the ceremony honoring the Vietnamese U23 players in their hometown of Nghe An after winning the Bronze Medal at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship, an ordinary yet interesting detail unexpectedly captured all the attention. It was the players' revelation of their criteria for choosing girlfriends, particularly the frank answer from striker Nguyen Dinh Bac.

When asked jokingly by the MC about his "ideal type in a girlfriend," Dinh Bac didn't shy away or give a perfunctory answer. He shared briefly but clearly: "I think I need someone who will always accompany me on my career path and always respect my decisions." Without mentioning appearance or the usual glamorous criteria, the answer from the 2004-born striker quickly received many positive responses from the audience present at the ceremony as well as the online community.

Many believe that while it sounds simple, actually achieving what Dinh Bac desires is far from easy. Maintaining a long-term relationship with a professional player, accepting demanding training schedules, long away trips, and respecting their career-related decisions is a significant challenge for any relationship. Through his responses, many have commented that Dinh Bac demonstrates maturity and practicality, prioritizing emotional support and understanding above superficial standards.

This sparked a wave of conflicting opinions on social media. Some netizens argued that Dinh Bac was smart for not specifically mentioning his appearance, avoiding creating unnecessary stereotypes or pressure. Others, however, commented that he displayed the typical "patriarchal" traits of men who prioritize their careers. According to this viewpoint, if a woman were to be Dinh Bac's girlfriend, she could be secure about her future, but she would also need sufficient courage and patience to share and understand the path he is pursuing.

In fact, recently, the name Dinh Bac has not only been widely covered in sports newspapers thanks to his impressive performances in the Vietnamese U23 team, but has also become the focus of discussion on social media due to rumors surrounding a suspected romantic relationship with runner-up Cam Ly. These speculations began when netizens pointed out a series of coincidences between the two, from their interactions on social media to everyday photos that are said to have many similarities.

Since then, runner-up Cam Ly's personal social media platforms have unexpectedly become more active. Under many of her posts and videos, it's not difficult to find numerous comments mentioning Dinh Bac's name, questioning the relationship between the beauty queen and the U23 Vietnam football player. Public curiosity is growing, especially given that Dinh Bac is currently in a flourishing stage of his career.

Amidst the speculation, runner-up Cam Ly only spoke out once when she was suspected of wearing matching rings with Dinh Bac. Besides denying the rumors, the beauty queen did not share any further details about her private life, nor did she directly mention the footballer's name in any other posts. As for Dinh Bac, he also remained silent about the rumors, focusing on training and competing.

While the story is still unresolved, the measured and discreet approach of both parties is seen as a safe choice, avoiding escalating the situation amidst the social media storm. For fans, instead of speculation about their private lives, what they most look forward to is seeing a strong and confident Dinh Bac on the field, continuing to contribute and affirm his position in Vietnamese football.
