Sharing after the victory over Khanh Hoa on the evening of January 31, coach Nguyen Viet Thang said he highly appreciated Cong Phuong's performance during his time on the field.
Phuong played very well today, if he doesn't have a recurrence of injury, he will have more time to play. It's a pity that he just returned and had problems again," coach Nguyen Viet Thang said.
According to this coach, the long break did not make Cong Phuong lose his inherent professional qualities. "He lost nothing, from his space sensitivity, first touch to finishing ability, all are very classy. The most regrettable thing is the recurrence of injury, which is a ripple point," Mr. Thang assessed.
Coach Nguyen Viet Thang also said that the specific condition of Cong Phuong needs to be re-evaluated by the medical team. "This injury must be asked again to the doctor for examination and to come to a more accurate conclusion," he shared, while emphasizing that the coaching staff does not want to risk the physical condition of this striker.
Cong Phuong's injury recurrence right in his first return match forces Truong Tuoi Dong Nai club to be more cautious in their plan to use him in the next stage of the season.
