Photo of special fan in Nghe An touches the online community
(Baonghean.vn) - One of the most unforgettable images of Nghe An football fans in the recent Vietnam - Korea Asiad semi-final match was probably the image of Nguyen Ba Ky - a paralyzed fan who was still determined to be present at the cheering venue to watch every step of the players.
After the semi-final match with all the emotions, beautiful images of enthusiastic fans were shared all over social networks.
Notable among them is a photo of a fan from Nghe An appearing at Ho Chi Minh Square on a homemade wheelchair to join hundreds of other football fans cheering for the Vietnamese Olympic team.

The character appearing in the photo is Nguyen Ba Ky (Nghi Phong, Nghi Loc, Nghe An). Due to complications from polyarthritis since childhood, he was paralyzed in both legs and right arm, almost bedridden. However, the disease could not overcome Ky's love for football. For many years, the paralyzed young man has been present at Vinh stadium, 15km from his home, every week to watch SLNA team compete. The image of Ky on a homemade folding bed with wheels appearing at window 6 of Vinh stadium, regardless of rain or shine, has become a typical image of the love of football of the people of Nghe An and has also been considered the motivation for SLNA players to compete many times.
Perhaps the spirit of Nguyen Ba Ky has spoken for millions of Vietnamese fans for their team: Even though they did not win, the players who played with all their might still received the love of fans across the country.
