After 11 rounds of the Belgian national championship, the team's leaders seemed to have no regrets for striker Cong Phuong when he could only play for 20 minutes. In the last 6 consecutive matches, the striker of the Vietnam national team was not included in the list of players registered by coach Marc Brys.
This has sparked controversy over whether to call Cong Phuong back or not. When mentioning this issue, Thailand's Siam Sport newspaper published an article titled: "Support Cong Phuong to return to compete in the V.League next season".
The article quoted the Belgian media: The Belgian media recently published an article stating that Cong Phuong was a failed contract of Sint Truidense. This could be a mistake from both sides.
Although Cong Phuong has more than 2 million followers on his personal page and also helped the Sint Truidense club have a large number of followers on social networks, this player has almost no professional contribution to the team. Cong Phuong has endured a life of being like Lee Seung Woo, the idol of Korean football, who also continuously lost his reputation in the Sint Truidense squad.
Going to Europe to compete is a success for Cong Phuong, but the problem is that he went to Belgium to compete, not to stay on the bench. Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club should consider the option of bringing Cong Phuong to V.League to compete in the next season.
Siam Sport newspaper also said that coach Lee Tea-hoon of Hoang Anh Gia Lai also admitted that Cong Phuong should return to play in the V.League next season and not be a reserve at Sint Truidense. Mr. Lee said that if Cong Phuong was available, Mr. Duc's team would succeed.
