Phi Son and the beautiful goal dedicated to his late father

(Baonghean.vn)- In the middle of the hot summer days, Phi Son still wears an extra shirt to lose weight with the hope of finding himself again. And on “Fathers’ Day”, the midfielder from Ha Tinh had a great goal against S. Khanh Hoa BVN. A very meaningful goal that the player born in 1992 dedicated to his deceased father.

Both brothers Tran Phi Son and Tran Phi Ha are in different places, one is playing for Ca Mau Club in the First Division, the other is a national player playing for SLNA. However, few people know that when Phi Son was just getting acquainted with the ball, it was his father who inspired him and gave him the love for football.

Back then, when he first sent his son to the Song Lam Nghe An "oven", his father still regularly cycled more than 60km from Huong Son, Ha Tinh to Vinh every day just to stand outside the fence and watch his beloved son practice. On a meaningful day when all the children expressed their most sacred feelings for their father, Phi Son scored a goal, a beautiful goal. A goal after a difficult time in regaining his form.

In the 56th minute, receiving the ball from a pass from his teammate, Phi Son confidently dribbled the ball and shot powerfully into the top corner, leaving BVN goalkeeper Tuan Manh, despite touching the ball with his hand, helpless as he watched the ball fly into the net. As coach Ngo Quang Truong said after the match, he was satisfied with the performance of the 1992-born player in the second half and hoped that he would promote that spirit in the next matches. If the foreign players had taken advantage of the opportunity, SLNA certainly would not have had to leave Nha Trang Stadium with only 1 point.

It can be said that this is a very meaningful goal for Phi Son, a beautiful goal after his efforts to lose nearly 3 kg in the past time as advised by coach Nguyen Huu Thang. The result of the sweat of practicing overtime on Vinh field. At the end of the match, midfielder Phi Son choked up and shared: "I would like to dedicate this goal to my father, I will always remember him. This goal is very meaningful to me right now, it will help me release many things and regain balance".

Knowing that if he scored a goal, Phi Son would play better and overcome certain pressures, right from the match at Chi Lang Stadium against SHB Da Nang, Mr. Tran Huu Thuat offered a reward specifically for the midfielder born in 1992 if he scored a goal to encourage this player. And although the goal came a bit late, that goal was enough for Phi Son to continue to grit his teeth and lose weight.

After nearly 4 seasons playing in V.League, Phi Son is increasingly asserting his position and role in the Nghe An team. In this year's football season, although Phi Son has not really played well in the past 12 matches, 3 assists and 2 goals are enough for fans to continue to put their trust in him for the rest of the journey.
