(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of October 13, the Vietnam National Team had its second training session in Bali (Indonesia) before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against the host team. During this training session, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong revealed that the Vietnam National Team had carefully studied the host team's playing style and shared about his own performance.
When asked about his performance in the Malaysia match, Cong Phuong said: “I haven’t played much at the club so my performance is only average. In the last match, the coach put me in the highest position. My physical condition is not very good so I feel like I haven’t performed well. I don’t feel any pressure because it is an honor to contribute to the national team.”

Evaluating the opponent Indonesia, Cong Phuong shared: “My team and I set the highest goal, although there are some difficulties while traveling here. Football cannot predict anything early, mainly if we play well everything will be fine. The Vietnam team has learned the strengths and weaknesses of Indonesia.
Indonesia adding more players is good for them and we focus on our goals. I would like to thank the fans for always supporting the team. I hope everyone will have confidence in the team."
