In the World Cup qualifying match against Thailand, Singapore goalkeeper Sonny made 11 saves. Although Singapore lost 1-3 to the Thai team, such a score ensured that the national football team would qualify. Sonny became famous overnight, becoming a hit among fans in China and his restaurant in Singapore became a hit. According to domestic media reports, Sonny appeared for the first time after the game. He started a live broadcast and revealed that he would come to China in July to participate in events and open his own social account. It seems that Sonny may start a career as an Internet celebrity in China, and may even live-stream to sell goods in the future!
Although the efforts of the Singapore team resulted in a 1-3 result and the qualification of the national football team, goalkeeper Sonny became the biggest beneficiary. He received special love from Chinese fans. Sonny's restaurant in Singapore has also become very popular. Many Chinese people go to the restaurant to eat, and many domestic fans fly to Singapore to taste nasi lemak. Sonny's small shop even sells it without ingredients.
According to the "Beijing Youth Daily" report, after Sonny became popular in China, he also appeared on the live broadcast for the first time. It is reported that Sonny said that he was invited to go to China in July. Although he does not have a Chinese social media account, arrangements will be made to open one soon.
What’s interesting is that although Sonny’s restaurant is very popular, he still doesn’t have time to help in his own store because Sonny still has games in the weekend league and currently needs to train. Sonny revealed that on Friday, there will be special nasi lemak in his restaurant, and he hopes fans can try it.
If Sonny really registers a social account, he will definitely become an Internet celebrity with millions of fans in an instant. His wealth for the rest of his life may have been doomed after that 1-3 game.
