Cong Phuong returns to Vietnam

Confirm information withZing.vn, representative of Ho Chi Minh City Club said: "Striker Nguyen Cong Phuong arrived in Vietnam in the early morning of January 1. He traveled from Belgium on December 31, 2019 and is resting with his family. Cong Phuong will join the team on January 7."

In the 2020 season, Phuong will wear the number 21 shirt. He will compete with Ho Chi Minh City FC in many important tournaments such as V.League, National Cup, AFC Cup. In addition to recruiting Cong Phuong, Ho Chi Minh City FC also brought in many quality contracts such as Vo Huy Toan, Le Van Son, Le Duc Luong or foreign player Pape Diakite.

Cong Phuong took a photo with his father Nguyen Cong Bay (far right) and relatives on the morning of January 1.

In the past half season at Sint-Truidense in Belgium, Cong Phuong continued to fail to make an impression. All he did was play 20 minutes in the match against Club Brugge in the 6th round of the Belgian national championship. In 2020, many fans hoped that returning to Vietnam to play would help the player's performance. 2019 was an unsuccessful year for Cong Phuong. After returning from the Asian Cup, Phuong moved to play for Incheon United (Korea) and was not given many opportunities to play.

"Wishing Phuong a happy new year and much success on the field," fan Hong Yen commented on Cong Phuong's new post. "Returning to your hometown is so peaceful, wishing you and your family good health and peace in the new year," userHoa Trancomment.
