What do Korean media and fans say about Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong?
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Cong Phuong is completing the procedures to officially join Incheon Utd, a team currently playing in K. League 1. Midfielder Luong Xuan Truong will join Thai giant Buriram United in the 2019 season.
South Korea's Sports Chosun newspaper reported: "Cong Phuong is Vietnam's best player, known by the nickname 'Messi'". The newspaper added more information about the player born in 1995: "Under the guidance of coach Park Hang-seo, Cong Phuong is a key member of the Vietnamese national team to win the AFF Cup at the end of 2018 and reach the quarterfinals at the Asian Cup held in the UAE earlier this year."
"Cong Phuong has proven his ability against the continent's top teams at the recent Asian Cup. With his skillful feet, unique playing style and goal-scoring ability, he could be a shining star in Korea," Sports Chosun commented.

Naver Sport also reported that the Nghe An striker will join the Korean team next week. On the above-mentioned news sites, Korean fans expressed their excitement about this transfer.
A fan shared: “Actually, when Truong played for the K-league, the time he spent training with Incheon was much less than the time he spent training in Vietnam, so he didn’t actually contribute much to the club even though he left a good impression on the fans. I wonder what will happen with Cong Phuong this time...”
“Cong Phuong is really good.. Watching the 2 seasons of AFF Cup and Asian Cup, we can see that this player can even compete for a starting position. Incheon has this contract, it's great. Reaching the Asian quarter-finals is "no joke"" - another opinion.
“In my opinion, Vietnam’s best player is Cong Phuong. Lee Cheon-soo really has an eye for talent. This is definitely a profitable investment. Hopefully it will pay off. Watching the match against Japan, you can see that if he trains hard, he can even reach the level of Moon Seon-min” – a very interesting comment in Chosun newspaper.
According to some sources, midfielder Luong Xuan Truong is in Bangkok (Thailand) today (February 8). Accordingly, the captain of HAGL Club will sign a contract with Buriram United. Tomorrow, the news of Xuan Truong joining Buriram United Club will be announced. Xuan Truong's contract with Buriram United is for a 1-year loan period.
