Cong Phuong runs like 'wind' on the day he returns to the Vietnam team

Cong Phuong showed great determination to score points with coach Kim Sang Sik in his return to the Vietnamese national team after nearly 2 years of absence.

On the afternoon of May 30, the Vietnamese team had their first training session in preparation for the decisive match against Malaysia, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.

Before the training session, the Vietnamese team had a few minutes to interact with the U22 Vietnam team. The two teams practiced together at the VFF Youth Football Training Center.

After nearly 2 years of absence, Cong Phuong showed great determination.

He performs running and jumping movements with speed.

Cong Phuong confirmed that he is in good form.

The 30-year-old striker also confidently said that if he gets to play, he will help the Vietnamese team defeat Malaysia.

Before joining the Vietnam national team, Cong Phuong scored 7 goals in the First Division and 2 goals in the National Cup.

Although no longer at the peak of his form, the striker born in 1995 still has great expectations.

In the training session on the afternoon of May 30, the Vietnamese team had 15 players.

Besides 6 players from CAHN and Binh Duong clubs who have not been called up due to making up for round 23 of V-League, the Vietnam team does not have the presence of Thanh Chung and Thanh Binh.

It is known that both Vietnamese central defenders are injured.

Hai Long just had a very commendable match in the Southeast Asian All-Stars shirt in a friendly match against MU Club (won 1-0).

Vietnam team has more than 10 days to prepare for the match against Malaysia.

Coach Kim Sang Sik has made careful calculations about personnel and playing style in the key match on June 10.

According to information from VFF, Nguyen Thanh Binh (The Cong Viettel ) and Bui Hoang Viet Anh (CAHN) cannot participate due to injury. To strengthen the defense, coach Kim Sang Sik decided to call up Dang Van Toi from Hai Phong Club, and at the same time transfer defender Pham Ly Duc from the U22 Vietnam team to the national team.
