"I don't use Facebook so I rarely read comments attacking me. I see that when I go online, people say this and that, but when I go out, I don't dare to say anything. This is a very normal problem in society, not only in Vietnam but also in the world. We need to accept this. We need to focus on working for ourselves and the goals we have set," Cong Phuong shared on the afternoon of October 5.
In mid-September, Nguyen Cong Phuong said goodbye to Yokohama FC, ending nearly two years of unsuccessful overseas trips to Japan. Cong Phuong decided to join Binh Phuoc club to save his career. Before returning home, he was involved in a major controversy due to his unsatisfactory performance on the field.
Many people took advantage of images of Cong Phuong participating in commercial activities of his home team such as selling fried chicken and making coffee to mock this player.
In fact, whether he plays in the starting lineup or not, Cong Phuong still has to accompany Yokohama FC in the team's sideline activities.
Moreover, not everyone is brave and determined enough to go abroad many times like Cong Phuong. Rarely anyone is as eager to succeed outside the borders of Vietnam as the striker born in 1995. Vietnamese football needs many people to “pave the way” like that to be able to succeed in the ambition of exporting players.
Returning to the contract to join Binh Phuoc, Cong Phuong said that he aims to join the newly promoted team in V.League. At the same time, Cong Phuong is eager to return to the Vietnam national team after more than 1 year of absence.
