Cong Phuong: Number 1 expectation of Binh Phuoc Club

On June 21, Cong Phuong did not score in the 3-0 victory over Long An Club. Binh Phuoc Club ended the 2024-2025 national first division season as runner-up, the best achievement in the history of the Southeast team.

In the match, many positions were somewhat out of shape when the direct opponent PVF-CAND quickly led 2-0 and caused a lot of pressure, but Cong Phuong was one of the best players.

Whenever he has the ball, the former HAGL player often creates trouble for his opponents from the Southwest region with his skillful dribbling, or his good passing with Phi Son and Tu Nhan in the front line.

In particular, Cong Phuong's influence grew as he frequently created dangerous assists from dead ball situations, one of which helped Tu Nhan double the gap to 2-0 in the 76th minute.

Interestingly, Cong Phuong is a reliable support for the younger and less famous players around him, such as the way he gave up the penalty so that Tu Nhan could score his 9th goal and win the Golden Boot award.

The dream of a counterweight for Southern football

On June 27, Binh Phuoc Club will face Da Nang Club in the play-off match to decide the last ticket to V-League 2025 - 2026. This will also be a valuable opportunity for Southern football to have another representative, after many years of being absent from Mekong Delta clubs.

Since Dong Thap Club and then Long An Club fell to the first division and never returned, plus a series of short-lived teams such as Navibank Saigon, Saigon Xuan Thanh, Saigon FC... Southern football can only rely on the two representatives of Ho Chi Minh City Club and Binh Duong Club.

Therefore, if Cong Phuong and his teammates Phi Son, Tu Nhan, Tan Sinh, Tan Truong... can defeat their opponent Da Nang, it will help Southern football create a much more stable tripod.

This will help create some counterbalance against the powerful Northern teams that have won the V-League title 8 times in the past 10 years, except for the 2015 V-League championship of Binh Duong Club and 2017 Quang Nam Club.

Looking ahead to this match, Binh Phuoc Club has offered a huge bonus of up to 10 billion VND to give Cong Phuong and his teammates even more motivation to defeat Da Nang Club - the former V-League champion who is in the transitional stage of the generation.

In terms of experience, Da Nang Club is clearly superior. But Binh Phuoc Club also has its own strength, which is the desire to rise up to do football in a long-term and sustainable way, but is willing to spend if it is worth it, like the way it prepared to welcome Minh Vuong, Xuan Truong, Van Son...

In particular, Mr. Son's trip to Thailand to exchange and discuss football methods with Buriram United Club is proof that Binh Phuoc Club will continue to persevere on its path to playing in the V-League, to become an important part contributing to the development of Southern football.
