Cong Phuong: 'The story with Hoa Minzy doesn't affect me'

Striker Mito Hollyhock answers about love and life in Japan on the afternoon of October 4.

- When you returned to Vietnam, you surprised many people with your many changes in appearance, such as a new hairstyle and a pierced ear. What other changes have you made?

- I'm still me, still the Cong Phuong of the past, my personality hasn't changed. The outside doesn't reflect the inside.

- You are sought after by the media and fans. What do you think about the two words "star" that people give you?

- I see myself as normal, not a star at all. I don't see any problem with being loved and sought after by everyone. In fact, the pressure helps me mature and become more confident in communication.

- How does your love story with Hoa Minzy affect your performance on the field?

- My love life has never affected my performance on the field, it has always been like that.

- In Japan, you often sit on the bench and the image that lingers is when you have to hand out flyers. How do you feel about this?

- In Japan, it is very normal for players to hand out flyers, it is one of the mandatory activities at the club, almost every player has to do it. Every home game, 5 players do this. I have gone to hand out flyers twice. I think it is normal.

- During the long time in Japan, you tried to practice but did not have many opportunities to play. What experience did you gain from your days in Japan?

- I understand and feel clearly the difference between the two football backgrounds, so I just try to practice and try to integrate. During my time in Japan, I learned many lessons about punctuality, training awareness, improving physical fitness, etc. All of these are valuable experiences for myself. I think I am gradually integrating better with Japanese football.

- Previously, Coach Miura implemented a long ball style of play, but now Coach Huu Thang is building a short ball style of play. Which style of play do you think you are more suited to?

- I like shorter football style so I feel suitable under coach Huu Thang.

- You had to join the team late and had less time than your teammates. How did this affect your ability to integrate?

- Training in Japan is tiring, more than in Vietnam, so as soon as I return to Vietnam, I can start training right away. On the national team, there are many acquaintances, many of whom were teammates in the U19 and U23 teams, so I can integrate quickly. If I get to play in the match against North Korea, I will do my best.
