Before the match against Malaysia: 'Red alert' for Cong Phuong
(Baonghean.vn) - Although he is Coach Park Hang-seo's "favorite student", the possibility of Cong Phuong being eliminated from the official list of the Vietnam National Team is not small.
Referring to the striker who is playing football in Belgium, Mr. Park said: "I am really worried about Cong Phuong when he often has to sit on the bench and is not on the list of registered players at Sint Truidense."
Up to now, Cong Phuong has only played for 20 minutes for the Sint Truidense first team and has not shown anything. Recently, the striker born in 1995 had to play for the Sint Truidense U21 team because he was not included in the squad by coach Marc Brys.

Cong Phuong’s performance in the minutes on the field in the match between Thailand and Vietnam on September 5 is a clear proof. Having to constantly sit on the bench at the club, Cong Phuong’s ball handling does not have high accuracy.
Objectively speaking, the performance of "Vietnamese Messi" cannot be compared to that of Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Quang Hai, Mac Hong Quan, Ha Minh Tuan... The opportunity for Cong Phuong to compete for a position with his teammates in the Vietnam National Team at this time is quite small.

It will be until October 7 or 8 that Cong Phuong can join the Vietnam National Team. That means the Nghe An striker will only have about 2 training sessions with Coach Park Hang-seo and his team (October 10 against the Malaysian National Team). With such a short period of time, it will be difficult for Cong Phuong to regain his form.
It seems that the risk of Cong Phuong being eliminated from the list of Vietnam Team to play against Malaysia Team is extremely high./.
