Around midnight last night (November 24th), footballer Le Cong Vinh from Nghe An province unexpectedly posted a video with birthday wishes for his wife, accompanied by incredibly sweet gestures. He wrote on a piece of paper the words "Happy Birthday 25 -11 My beloved wife," and to the tune of "Happy Birthday," Cong Vinh, speaking in his Nghe An accent, said, "Happy birthday, Mom! I wish you all the best in your new year."

"Dad is busy playing for the national team far away, so he can't be home for Mom's birthday, but he always wishes Mom and me all the best in life. And Dad and Bánh Gạo will always be by Mom's side. And Dad has a small gift he wants to give Mom, Happy Birthday, Mom." He then held out a branch of frangipani flowers.

A clip of Cong Vinh wishing his wife a happy birthday was posted on his personal page:

Just 9 hours after being posted on Facebook, the clip received over 53,000 likes, more than 1,500 shares, and hundreds of thousands of comments, mostly expressing admiration and congratulating the happy family of footballer Le Cong Vinh and singer Thuy Tien.

Facebook user Tran Duc Nhat commented: "That's wonderful. Wishing your little family always stays this happy. But I want you to win another AFF Cup; 80 million Vietnamese fans are always watching you."

Facebook user Pham Quynh Anh commented: "Having a husband like that, what more could you ask for? The old saying is true, a woman is lucky to marry a husband who loves and cherishes her... I admire you both so much."

Facebook user Tran Ngoc Hai shared: "Cong Vinh using the Nghe An accent to wish his wife a happy birthday sounds so genuine. I definitely have to learn from him someday. Wishing the Vietnamese national team victory and glory for the country!"

On his personal page, Cong Vinh also posted a picture of himself cooking for the players.

Earlier (on the afternoon of November 21st), Cong Vinh also delighted fans by buying a large bunch of vegetables for 6,000 Kyat (approximately 104,000 VND) and bringing them back to the hotel to personally cook a vegetable soup for his teammates.

Besides his image as a hero on the football field, Le Cong Vinh is also loved by many as a wonderful father to Banh Gao and an exemplary husband to singer Thuy Tien. The footballer once shared that his biggest wish after retiring from his football career is to dedicate all his time to his family because Banh Gao is about to start first grade, and he wants to work with Thuy Tien to take better care of their child.

Although the Vietnamese national team is currently busy training for their third match against Cambodia tomorrow (November 26th), Cong Vinh still managed to wish his wife a happy birthday in the middle of the night. This gesture has earned him much admiration and praise from fans.

Previously, in the opening match of the 2016 AFF Cup, it was Cong Vinh who scored the golden goal that helped the Vietnamese national team secure all three points against host team Myanmar, setting a milestone of 50 goals in 81 appearances for the national team.

Furthermore, he also equaled the record of 14 wins in AFF tournaments held by his senior teammate Le Huynh Duc and entered the top 5 best goalscorers in the history of the Southeast Asian arena. This is the last tournament of his career, so Cong Vinh is very determined to help the Vietnamese national team achieve a championship at the 2016 AFF Cup.
