Duy Manh's biological mother reveals shocking news about her son, the mystery of the call home after the championship

Captain Duy Manh of the Vietnam National Team is a much-praised figure in recent times. As a person holding an important role, Duy Manh always knows how to make the team members bond together, this maturity makes his mother extremely proud.

Before each match, Duy Manh is the "ringleader" who invites the whole team to go out for coffee. One player said: "Those coffee sessions help the team spirit become more united and closer. We have more time to talk and understand each other better."

The clearest evidence of the remarkable maturity of a person who was once nicknamed "fierce" Manh is Duy Manh's action of standing up to prevent his teammates from approaching the main referee of the match. In a television program, Duy Manh also admitted that he prevented his teammates from approaching the main referee of the match to avoid the Vietnamese team from receiving unnecessary cards.

Sharing with the media, Ms. Le Thi Lan spoke with a proud voice about her son Do Duy Manh: "I see my son growing up more and more as the captain of the Vietnam National Team. My son did very well at the ASEAN Cup 2024. I am proud of Duy Manh.

The qualities of a team captain are calmness and courage. In real life, Duy Manh has been a decisive guy since he was young, so being chosen to unite everyone on the team doesn't surprise me too much."

"When Duy Manh returned home, the family only cooked a home-cooked meal to welcome him back to his hometown. It was not too elaborate, so that he could have time to rest and prepare to return to the club," Ms. Lan added.

Ms. Lan further revealed that Duy Manh called his family, recounting the "harsh" story with Supachok on the Thai team's side in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final on the evening of January 5: "Duy Manh shared that at that time, many teammates on the field were upset about the situation where a Thai player scored instead of returning the ball to the Vietnamese team. As captain, Duy Manh went to talk to the main referee, expressing the team's view that Supachok's goal was an act of unfair play and that the FIFA referee needed to be deterred. The referee then told Duy Manh that he needed to negotiate with the captain of the Thai team.

Afterwards, Manh met the captain of the Thai national team and asked why he played like that, pointed at Supachok and said: "You played in Japan but played so unfairly, I'm very disappointed."

Unfortunately, the Thai team did not "respond" at all, continuing the match as if nothing had happened. As for the Vietnamese team, the unfair goal from the opponent made the players in red shirts seem to wake up and play with more determination. Finally, with both professional and mental efforts, Duy Manh helped his teammates in the Vietnamese team stand firm in the face of difficulties to win the ASEAN Cup 2024.

After returning home, Duy Manh also showed the true spirit of a captain when he was busy going to the ceremony to report his achievements. On January 7, two days after winning the ASEAN Cup 2024 championship with the Vietnamese team in Thailand, Duy Manh, along with coach Kim Sang-sik and VFF leaders, went to Phu Tho to offer incense, report their achievements and thank the Hung Kings. Before leaving for Korea to train for the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team went to the Hung Temple relic site to pray for luck and success in the competition.

On January 8, Duy Manh, his parents and siblings went to the Ha Vi communal house, Lien Ha commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi to pay their respects. At the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final, Duy Manh was cheered on by his mother and sister in Thailand. His family also organized a viewing party at the communal house, inviting people to cheer on the team. Also on January 8, Duy Manh went to the Kinh Thien Palace, the Thang Long Imperial Citadel relic site.
