Cong Phuong is ready to 'fire' against Quang Hai

The rookie striker duo from Costa Rica, Ariel Rodriguez-Jose Ortiz, has not been able to debut with Cong Phuong and his teammates as they are isolated. However, the Thong Nhat home team has many reasons to expect to win against the defending champion Hanoi in the 11th round of V-League 2020 which takes place at 7:15pm on July 24.

In the 0-1 loss to Hong Linh Ha Tinh in round 10, Ho Chi Minh City lacked pillar defender duo Huu Tuan - Diakite and striker Amido Blade leading to unsatisfactory results.

All 3 players have been suspended, ready to return to play in Hanoi, so coach Chung Hae-soung has the strongest squad.

Cong Phuong himself was also withdrawn early by coach Chung Hae-soung in the battle of Ha Tinh to support the "super classic" football match in Vietnam with Hanoi. In recent sessions, the Nghe An-born striker trained hard, and full of excitement, promising to score when confronts Hanoi. It is likely that Cong Phuong's partner in the attack is still Amido Blade, with the backup plan Xuan Nam.

Meanwhile, in addition to the important return of Quang Hai in Hanoi, it is likely that veteran midfielder Le Tan Tai would debut in this match. Hanoi is still formidable when there are still Van Quyet, Hung Dung, Moses but the strength is much reduced compared to the encounter with Ho Chi Minh City in the National Super Cup in March due to injury crisis. The defense is the biggest worry of Hanoi when losing Duy Manh and Dinh Trong, causing Chu Dinh Nghiem to frequently mix and use experienced young defenders. It is an opportunity for the attack of Ho Chi Minh City club with Cong Phuong, Phi Son, Huy Toan and Amido Blade to exploit.
