Cong Phuong is quite small and will have to face stronger defenders in the K.League, but the author of the article believes that the number 10 of the Vietnam National Team is capable and strong enough to overcome.

Explaining this issue, Coach Sarri said that at this time the London team has a real "number 9", Gonzalo Higuain and the team needs to counter Man City's very strong midfield with other tactics.
