Cong Phuong is not satisfied even though he scored for Vietnam

At Thien Truong Stadium on the evening of September 11, Cong Phuong entered the field at the beginning of the second half and took only 16 minutes to score. He broke the offside trap, escaped to receive a pass from Hoang Duc - a player assigned to play as a center forward in the first half - punched the ball past the Palestinian goalkeeper to open the score. The 2-0 result was determined in the 78th minute when Van Toan used his speed to escape down the right wing and pass across for Tuan Hai to comfortably tap the ball into the empty net.

With the opening goal, Cong Phuong quenched his own scoring thirst in the Vietnam team from December 2021. However, the striker currently on the Yokohama payroll refused to take credit for himself.

"The striker's job is to score goals. I'm happy to score goals and contribute to the whole team. Every match I try my best. But goals are a collective effort. The whole team worked very hard." As for myself, I'm not satisfied with what I showed today," he said after the match.

Cong Phuong does not think that the Palestinian opponent is too weak compared to Vietnam today. "For me, in football, the chances for two teams are always 50-50. West Asian teams have good physiques and physical strength. But Vietnam also has its own strengths. Now the two teams are on par," he said. more.

Cong Phuong also thanked the audience for accompanying and cheering for the team. He promised to work hard with his teammates in each match.

Cong Phuong and Van Toan are currently having difficulty at the club, long-term reserves at Yokohama and Seoul E-Land. However, this duo was still called up to the team by coach Troussier and they rewarded the French coach with a goal and an assist, when they entered the field in the second half in the match against Palestine.
