(Baonghean.vn) - In his second return home, the striker from Nghe An did not return to his home team HAGL but joined Ho Chi Minh City Club.

Nearly 6 months playing football in Belgium was the most unforgettable time in the football career of the "Vietnamese Messi". It is not an exaggeration to say that Cong Phuong is just "redundant" at Sint Truidense Club. 20 minutes of playing were all the most beautiful things that the striker born in 1995 experienced during his recent trip abroad.

Witnessing the tragic situation of Cong Phuong in the “Land of Chocolate”, experts and Vietnamese football fans unanimously called on Mr. Duc to quickly “rescue” this player. Responding to the impatience and concern from public opinion was the “calm as a cucumber” attitude of the Chairman of HAGL Group.

Even when faced with the news that FK Sarajevo intended to “rescue” Cong Phuong, Mr. Duc did not show the same excitement as the domestic football fans. Mr. Duc affirmed: “What FK Sarajevo wants is their business. In football, not everything you want is possible. Cong Phuong’s contract with Sint Truidense is in writing, so how can it be changed?”

It was thought that Cong Phuong would have to continue his "dead end" at Sint Truidense when the media no longer mentioned information related to FK Sarajevo, but then Ho Chi Minh City Club of Chairman Nguyen Huu Thang appeared as the "rescuer" of the Vietnamese National Team's striker. And it did not take long for the Thong Nhat Stadium team to successfully negotiate with the Belgian team.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Duc shared: "As I said a long time ago, HAGL has no ambition to win the V.League championship, so it is understandable that Cong Phuong returned to Vietnam to play for Ho Chi Minh City. Furthermore, I do this for the common good, for Vietnamese football."

So it is clear. Mr. Duc did not "rescue" Cong Phuong not because he was not capable of doing so, because the 100,000 euros that Ho Chi Minh City FC had to pay to Sint Truidense FC is nothing compared to the wealth and generosity of the boss from Binh Dinh. Do not forget, Mr. Duc was the one who paid Coach Park Hang-seo's salary out of his own pocket for the past 2 years (nearly 30,000 euros/month).

In fact, for the purpose of “playing for fun”, HAGL does not need the presence of the 24-year-old player in the squad. Bringing Cong Phuong to Pleiku Stadium to participate in V.League is no different from “using a butcher knife to kill a chicken”. Currently, the mountain town team only needs Van Thanh, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong, Van Toan, Minh Vuong… is enough. According to Mr. Duc’s thinking, Cong Phuong must wear the shirt of an ambitious team, at least like Ho Chi Minh City Club.

A businessman as passionate about Vietnamese football as Mr. Duc, there is no way he would "abandon his child"./.
