Công Phượng unexpectedly goes viral on Vietnamese social media

With a simple act full of friendliness, Công Phượng made fans go wild when photos of him gifting the breakfast restaurant owner a bunch of coconuts went viral on social networks.

Recently, a girl from Bình Phước shared a rare and very charming moment of forward Nguyễn Công Phượng. According to her story, the player born in 1995 unexpectedly visited her family’s breakfast shop one morning. After the meal, he happily gave her parents a bunch of coconuts as a thank-you gift. This seemingly simple gesture surprised and delighted her family since it’s not every day a famous footballer gives a present right at their small eatery.

That moment quickly spread all over social media. Many people expressed their delight at Công Phượng’s simple, friendly, and approachable demeanor. One user humorously commented: “Not sure if the breakfast was tasty, but that bunch of coconuts must be very sweet!”. Netizens also showed their affection for the Nghệ An native, who rarely appears publicly but whenever he does, he makes a natural and adorable impression.

In fact, this is one of the rare occasions when Công Phượng’s everyday life images appear publicly. He is known for being private and sharing little about his personal life despite being one of Vietnam’s most beloved footballers. Therefore, even a small action is enough to bring Công Phượng back into the media spotlight.

Besides this positive moment, there is also great interest in Công Phượng’s professional situation. Since the start of the 2025/26 National First Division season, he has not yet played for Đồng Nai due to an injury sustained before the season began. The 29-year-old striker is currently recovering and recently traveled to Singapore for a detailed check-up. If the results are promising, he could return to regular training within the next two months.

During Công Phượng’s absence, Đồng Nai team has maintained good form with 17 points from 7 matches, temporarily leading the standings by just one point ahead of second-place Khánh Hòa. His comeback, if on schedule, will be an important boost for Đồng Nai in the second half of the season.

And even without returning to the pitch yet, this small everyday gesture shows that Công Phượng remains a beloved figure, not only for his talent but also for his sincerity and simplicity that have won the hearts of fans.
