The hand-in-hand image of center-back Phạm Lý Đức (U23 Vietnam) and shooter Phí Thanh Thảo is causing a stir on social networks.
On the evening of February 2nd, on her personal social media, shooter Phí Thanh Thảo unexpectedly posted a photo "holding hands" with center-back Phạm Lý Đức from the national team U23 Vietnam, subtly confirming their romantic relationship. Although the story was deleted shortly after, netizens managed to take screenshots and spread the photo.
In fact, after the image circulated, many believed it to be an AI (artificial intelligence) creation, but several fans said they had seen the couple together wearing similar outfits.
The relationship between Lý Đức and Thanh Thảo has attracted attention since SEA Games 33. During the U22 Vietnam team matches, the Hanoi-born shooter often appeared in the stands to cheer for Lý Đức and his teammates. On social media, Thanh Thảo also shared videos celebrating Lý Đức’s goals with love-themed music, along with notable comments directed at the center-back. Additionally, fans noticed Thanh Thảo using a phone case featuring Lý Đức’s image during the goal celebration at SEA Games 33.
Most notably, right after SEA Games 33, Phí Thanh Thảo was seen at Lý Đức’s home in Bến Cầu (Tây Ninh), captured by fans, which sparked speculation that their relationship has gone beyond mere acquaintances.
Phí Thanh Thảo is a prominent shooter on the Vietnamese shooting team. She impresses not only with her professional achievements but also with her charming face, bright appearance, and stylish fashion sense.
Meanwhile, Phạm Lý Đức is one of the key pillars of the U22/U23 Vietnam teams in competitions throughout 2025 and early 2026. Currently, he plays for the CAHN club.
