Thể Thao 247 - Incheon United coach shared at the post match press conference that he put a lot of faith on Cong Phuong, even though his side received the third consecutive loss.
Taking on the visiting team Deagu, coach Andersen surprised football supporters by putting Cong Phuong in the starting line-up. The Vietnamese did not let his coach down with his good performance, yet the home team still lost to Deagu.
At the post match, the Norwegian coach explained, “Cong Phuong showed his talent through training and trial games, enough to compete for an official position”
“I sent him out for 90 minutes because he is qualified, even when no player got injured”
“ Cong Phuong stole the show and was overwhelming favorites. He fought for the whole team and contributed well. I asked him to support Mugosa but he had to move downward back to the midfield to possess the ball. Cong Phuong support the defense well. I like the way he plays positive”
In this game, forward Mugasa got a serious injury then came out on a stretcher. It is high chance that Cong Phuong will take the position.
That Cong Phuong played full 90 minutes was a good signal since he contributed much on launching attacks from Incheon’s side, including 2 missed assists and good ball dribbling of the 23-year-old.
In the next match against Jeonbuk, football lovers still expect Cong Phuong could score and seal a victory for his team after his impressive performance in the previous matches
