Cong Phuong is happy to return to play for the national team.
(Baonghean.vn) - Sharing after arriving at the Vietnam national team's gathering place, Cong Phuong said he was very happy to return to compete in the national team's jersey.
On the afternoon of March 13, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong was present at the Vietnam Football Federation to join the team for the two matches against Indonesia in the 2nd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
Sharing his feelings after a long absence from the National Team, Cong Phuong said: "I think as a football player, when being called up to the National Team, everyone is happy. I myself will also try my best in this training session."
Recently, the striker from Nghe An did not have much time to play at Yokohama Club, but he considered it a valuable time for him: "Phuong thinks that was not necessarily a difficult time, because it was a very developed environment for me to try and learn. I saw good things and I learned many things."
The next two matches will be very important for the Vietnamese team, because if they stumble, it will be difficult for the Golden Star Warriors to enter the third qualifying round. Evaluating the opponent Indonesia, the player born in 1995 said:
"According to Phuong, every football team is developing, not just Vietnam. When facing the Indonesian team today, we have to look at our opponents and find a way to defeat them. As for the confrontations in the past, that's a thing of the past."
Striker Cong Phuong is the name that fans are most looking forward to. Before that, the French strategist personally went to Japan to watch Cong Phuong play in a match for reserve players in J-League 2.
It can be seen that Cong Phuong is very determined to impress coach Troussier in this training session.
The Vietnamese team will have their first training session tomorrow, when they are fully equipped after the final match in the 1/16 round of the National Cup. The Golden Star Warriors are expected to practice for 4 days in Hanoi before leaving for Indonesia./.
