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

Naver Sport also reported that the striker from Nghe An will join the South Korean team next week. On the aforementioned news sites, South Korean fans expressed their excitement about this transfer.
One fan shared: "Actually, when Truong played for the K-League, the time he spent training with Incheon was much less than the time he trained in Vietnam, so he didn't really contribute much to the club, even though he left a good impression on the fans. I wonder how it will be this time with Cong Phuong..."
"Cong Phuong is really talented... Watching him in the AFF Cup and Asian Cup seasons shows that he could even compete for a starting spot. Incheon is so lucky to have him. Reaching the Asian quarterfinals is no joke" – another opinion.
"In my opinion, Vietnam's best player is Cong Phuong. Lee Cheon-soo truly has a good eye for talent. This is definitely a profitable investment. I hope it yields good results. Watching the match against Japan, you can see that with diligent training, he could even reach the level of Moon Seon-min," – a very interesting comment in the Chosun newspaper.
According to several sources, midfielder Luong Xuan Truong arrived in Bangkok (Thailand) today (February 8th). Accordingly, the captain of HAGL FC will sign a contract with Buriram United. The news of Xuan Truong joining Buriram United will be announced tomorrow. Xuan Truong's contract with Buriram United is a one-year loan.
