Cong Phuong has truly grown up

With the desire to compete fairly with Hanoi FC in the 2020 V-League, the leadership of the HCMC club has boldly paid to bring the Thong Nhat Stadium extremely quality contracts. Among them, the most notable is probably striker Nguyen Cong Phuong.

Even the first match in the new club shirt, Cong Phuong proved his worth. Three consecutive goals in 3 matches (2 in the AFC Cup and 1 in the National Super Cup), the Nghe striker somehow dispelled the doubts about his performance.

However, in those matches, despite scoring goals, Cong Phuong's gameplay did not change much. It The personal playstyle and overconfident dribblings made Cong Phuong miss the opportunity of the team. Therefore, fans still have not seen the maturity of this striker.

However, things have changed since Vietnamese football returned after COVID-19. And especially after his engagement, Cong Phuong has become a different person.

Married, Nghe striker has put the interests of the collective on the individual performance. In the past matches, Cong Phuong actively moved more to create space for teammates.

When having the ball, Nghe An-born striker calmly observed and assessed the situation before making a final decision. There are still individual ball situations, but it is more reasonable and has a clear effect.

Cong Phuong played as ‘number 10’ has promoted all of his strengths. With the ability to move smartly, Cong Phuong often makes the opponent's defense disturbed and opens up space for his teammates.

Two goals and two assists in the V-League 2020 is a testament to the growth of Cong Phuong recently. If he continues to maintain this style, the Nghe An-born striker will soon regain his official position in Vietnam in the near future.
