Center back Bui Tien Dung and his wife Khanh Linh were introduced by relatives and met for the first time in the hospital.

"It's probably strange and funny to tell. My husband and I met in the hospital," Nguyen Khanh Linh - the wife of central defender Bui Tien Dung - shared about their first meeting in 2018. Khanh Linh, born in 1997, from Bac Ninh, once studied abroad in Singapore. Bui Tien Dung, born in 1995, was one of the heroes of the U23 Vietnam team that won the Asian runner-up title in Changzhou.

"Mr. Dung knew me through an acquaintance. However, at that time we had never talked to each other and I did not know him either. At that time, I was sick and had to be hospitalized, Mr. Dung took the initiative to text and then come to visit me," the beauty from Bac Ninh continued.

After their first meeting, Tien Dung and Khanh Linh often texted each other and made plans to go out. About three months later, the couple officially dated. "No one confessed to anyone. We just stayed together and developed feelings for each other without realizing it," the wife of the Viettel midfielder confided.

Khanh Linh admitted that her love story with Bui Tien Dung also went through ups and downs, like many other couples. Having a lover who is a football player, often having to travel far to compete, Linh sometimes cannot avoid feeling sorry for herself. However, Tien Dung always encouraged her to try, to go through everything together.

When their love was ripe, the Ha Tinh player and the Bac Ninh girl got engaged in June 2019 but have not yet held a wedding ceremony. The couple is currently enjoying happy days with their first daughter Sushi (born in October 2019).

"Women always want to be with their husbands more. During the holidays when my husband has to compete far away, I feel sad. Now that Sushi is by my side, I feel better. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. When I have time off, Dung always asks me where I want to go or travel, that's enough to make me happy," the mother of one smiled.

Not only does she no longer feel disadvantaged, Khanh Linh believes that having a husband who is a football player also brings her many interesting things. The 9X beauty said: "Before, I was someone who knew nothing about football, even though my parents' company had a small football team. But now, I know very well about each player's position, about football matches, and in my free time, wherever there is football, I want to go watch it."

Bui Tien Dung has just spent nearly a month with his wife and children due to the social distancing directive due to Covid-19. For Khanh Linh, this is a very precious time for her family: "My husband has never had such a long break. My family has a lot of time for each other. Every day, my husband and I play with our children, cook and exercise together. This is a very precious time."

Currently, Bui Tien Dung and his wife live at his wife's parents' house in Bac Ninh. Because he is often away from home, the captain of Viettel Club feels more secure when his wife and children are supported by his parents. In addition to housework, Khanh Linh also works as a manager at a family hotel. However, due to the impact of Covid-19, the business has had to be temporarily suspended.
