On the evening of May 17, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc club had a 1-1 draw with PVF-CAND in the match of round 19 of the 2024-2025 First Division.
This result helps coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team continue to have an advantage in the race for a ticket to play-off to be promoted to V.League.
Also in this match, coach Kim Sang-sik personally attended the match.
Experts say Mr. Kim came to the stadium to "see the pigs" of Cong Phuong when the Vietnamese team was about to gather to prepare for the match against Malaysia in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup on June 10.
Speaking after the match, coach Huynh Quoc Anh highly appreciated Cong Phuong's performance since the beginning of the season and said that he deserved to be called back to the national team.
"Cong Phuong has done a very good job as set by the coaching staff. Cong Phuong deserves to return to the national team at this time. He is in very good form, the proof is the goals and what he has shown on the field", coach Huynh Quoc Anh shared.
Cong Phuong's stable performance contributes greatly to helping Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc maintain 2nd place on the 2024-2025 First Division rankings.
The striker born in 1995 has scored 7 goals, and his teammate Luu Tu Nhan shared the leading position in the list of top scorers in the 2024-2025 First Division.
Cong Phuong's form is certainly helping him catch the "green eye" of coach Kim Sang-sik.
With the long absence of Nguyen Xuan Son and Bui Vi Hao due to injury, Tien Linh is not in good form, and other attacking players have not left much of an impression, it is reasonable to call up an experienced player and is in good form like Cong Phuong.
