(Baonghean.vn) – After leaving Belgium, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong is showing quite an impressive performance in the shirt of Ho Chi Minh City Club. With 4 goals in the V.League at the moment, Cong Phuong once again shows his luck when working with Korean coaches.

2019 was a successful year for Cong Phuong in the national team but a forgettable year for Cong Phuong at the club level. After playing for Incheon United and only playing 8 matches, 352 minutes, not scoring a goal in the K.League. And Cong Phuong moved to Belgium to play for Sint-Truiden.

On Belgian soil,Cong Phuongagain questioned about his ability and strength. At the Belgian National Championship level, the Nghe An striker only played for 20 minutes. And of course, for a football player, not being able to play regularly and not scoring goals is something that always makes them feel depressed and sad.

After that, Ho Chi Minh City Club, run by Chairman Nguyen Huu Thang, stepped in to “rescue” Cong Phuong. The striker born in 1995 moved to play for Ho Chi Minh City Club under a loan contract, but that was enough for Cong Phuong to play more regularly. And luckily for Phuong, he was led by a very classy foreign coach – Coach Chung Hae-soeng.

Cong Phuong's first matches started at the AFC Cup 2020, he scored 2 goals forHo Chi Minh City Club. In the recent National Cup, Cong Phuong only came off the bench, contributing 1 goal in the thrilling 3-2 victory over Ba Ria - Vung Tau. The remaining two goals of Ho Chi Minh City also had Cong Phuong's mark.

In the 2020 V.League arena, Cong Phuong is truly an important tactical card of Chung Hae-soeng. Specifically, the Nghe An player played 10 matches (867 minutes), scoring 4 goals. In other indicators from Instat, Cong Phuong launched 7/23 shots on target, with a successful pass rate of 75%.

Playing as a striker, Cong Phuong not only scores well but also plays a very good role in creating goals with 2.7/6 successful passes into the penalty area (average per 90 minutes), 3 assists.

With a good technical foundation, Cong Phuong is also ranked among the best attacking midfielders in V.League, just behind Hung Dung (Hanoi Club). That is the reason why coach Chung Hae-soeng is planning to pull this player down to play as a real midfielder for the rest of the season.

It is clear that Cong Phuong is really thriving under Coach Park Hang-seo as well as Coach Chung Hae-soeng. Cong Phuong's best achievement at the club level was in 2018 when he played 24 matches for HAGL and scored 12 goals in the V.League. With his current form, the striker from Nghe An can completely surpass that achievement.
