Cong Phuong: ‘Scoring is not enough for a striker'

The HCMC club is flying high in the 2020 V-League rankings, earning 13 points after the first 6 rounds. They have a gap with the 2nd place team SLNA 2 points and far ahead of the number 1 opponent for the championship Hanoi FC 3 points on the table.

This achievement was achieved largely by striker Nguyen Cong Phuong. Since getting married, Nghe striker has changed quickly when playing calmly and more mature. He kept firing to bring Ho Chi Minh City victory in the last 2 matches. Along with that are the assist situations for teammates to score.

However, Cong Phuong is still not really satisfied with his performance. Sharing with the media, the number 21 player of Ho Chi Minh City said:

"My performance is not really good. I think the last few games were just goals, the way the style improved a little bit but not perfect. I had to try to score, support the defense, move a lot and pass the ball exactly."

Cong Phuong's statement showed the progress and change in the play of this striker. The Nghe An-born striker knew more about his teammates and put the team's interests first. This is a very good signal for the revival of Cong Phuong.

In the 7th round of V-League 2020, the HCMC club will welcome SHB Da Nang at home. This is expected to be a difficult match with Chung Hae Seong's army when Da Nang is showing their revival in the past rounds.

"We met them before and struggled a draw The Danang team just won HAGL, so their spirit is very good. The goal of the team is to get 3 points because the season is different now, there are no 2 stages. If you want to have high achievements, you have to count every game. " - Cong Phuong shared.
