"It's better to have Cong Phuong on the team than to face him"

Coach Guillaume Graechen said so after the extremely impressive performance of his favorite student Cong Phuong, in the opening match of Toyota V.League 2015.

After the events off the field, many people were worried about Cong Phuong, because of too much pressure on the number 44 of HA.GL. But it seems that in the midst of the storm, people see a very strong and calm Cong Phuong.

Before the first professional match in the Toyota V.League 2015 against S.Khanh Hoa, when talking to a reporter from Football Newspaper, Phuong only said one sentence: "Just waiting for the ball to roll to fight".

That's right, before leaving the field in the 65th minute, Cong Phuong was one of the players who ran the most on the field. Cong Phuong was the one who raised the score to 2-0 for HA.GL after a wall pass with Hoang Thien in the 40th minute. And it was Phuong with a solo pass past 4 S.Khanh Hoa players in the 64th minute, raising the score to 4-1, before Dinh Kha shortened the score to 2-4 and also the final score of the match.

After the match, coach Guillaume Graechen had words of praise for his student: "Cong Phuong is a player that every team wants to have because he can dribble, shoot and score. Of course, a team would rather have Cong Phuong in their squad than face him."
