Cong Phuong meets his old teacher in the friendly match of the Vietnam national team

On the evening of June 15, the Vietnamese team had a friendly match with the Hong Kong team (China). The leader of this team is coach Jorn Andersen, a coach who is not unfamiliar to many Vietnamese football fans. Although he has never worked for any club in the V-League or at the national team level, coach Jorn Andersen had a period of working at Incheon United when Cong Phuong played for the Korean team.

This strategist expressed his fondness for the striker of the Vietnamese national team. He created many opportunities for Cong Phuong when he was leading Incheon United. Up to the time of his dismissal, coach Jorn Andersen let Cong Phuong play in 6/7 matches that he directly coached. After Mr. Andersen left, Cong Phuong only played 2 more matches in the whole season before moving to Sint Truidense.

Cong Phuong meets his old teacher in the friendly match of the Vietnam team - 1 — Cong Phuong meets coach Jorn Andersen again.

After parting ways with Incheon United, Mr. Jorn Andersen received an invitation from the Hong Kong Football Association (China). During his 2 years working with this team, Coach Jorn Andersen helped the team make remarkable progress. The Hong Kong team (China) qualified for the 2023 Asian Cup after 54 years of waiting.

Coach Andersen's ability is unquestionable, although his team still has heavy losses. The Hong Kong team (China) shows a scientific European-style playing style. They are gradually surpassing their Asian rivals.

According to the transfer website Transfermakt, the Hong Kong (China) team's squad is valued at 6 million euros, lower than the 6.43 million euros of the Vietnam team. This is a team in its "golden" age with a combination of many young talents and experienced veterans.

The two most famous teams in Hong Kong (China), Kitchee and Eastern, contribute the most players to the team. Meanwhile, Mr. Andersen called up 4 more stars who are all playing in the Chinese league. The captain of the Hong Kong (China) team is Huang Yang. The 39-year-old defensive midfielder has shown stability even though many of his peers have retired.

The Hong Kong (China) team has another striker who is showing potential, Michael Udebuluzor. The player born in 2004 was born in Hong Kong (China) but he is of Nigerian descent. Last week, this player played for the Hong Kong (China) team in a friendly match against the U23 team and scored a hat-trick.

But due to paperwork problems, Michael has not been able to officially play for the Hong Kong (China) team in official matches during the FIFA Days period.
