Cong Phuong joins the Vietnam national team, why not?

Coach Kim Sang-sik and his colleagues are traveling to all the football fields in Vietnam to check the performance of the players and find new personnel for the Vietnam team, preparing for the important match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Will some of the players who are performing impressively in domestic tournaments be called up to the Vietnam team?

CAN BECOME A WORTHY PIECE

In terms of pure professional criteria, Cong Phuong completely meets the requirements as he is the best striker not only of Binh Phuoc but also of the first division. He is becoming the biggest inspiration on the attack line of Binh Phuoc Club in the 2024 - 2025 season with 8 goals (including the first division and the National Cup). Those valuable contributions have helped Binh Phuoc rise to 2nd place on the rankings with 40 points after 17 matches - an achievement far exceeding expectations at the beginning of the season. Not only has Cong Phuong recovered strongly after injury, but he has also contributed greatly to Binh Phuoc's winning streak. The Southeast team has gone 8 matches unbeaten (6 wins, 2 draws), leaving behind the team behind, PVF-CAND, and is aiming for a ticket to the play-off match, competing for promotion with the team ranked 13th in the V-League.

More importantly, Cong Phuong is showing a very stable performance along with the determination and great desire of an experienced and truly mature man. In Binh Phuoc, Phuong often plays as a striker or sometimes as a "false" number 9. The role, position, and playing style are quite diverse, but Phuong almost always plays well in any position. This is also a plus point for him to be able to catch the eye of coach Kim, because of his versatility and the factors that make the difference, especially the direct free kicks that score goals. Who knows, he will become a worthy piece of the team if given the opportunity.

Victor Le or Ly Cong Hoang Anh is also very good.

Victor Le and Ly Cong Hoang Anh have been playing extremely well in the recent period in the V-League. Along with "veteran" Trong Hoang, Vietnamese-Russian player Victor Le has continuously made excellent contributions to help Ha Tinh have an impressive series of matches (7 wins, 14 draws, only one loss in the wonderful journey in this year's season). When trusted by coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and placed in the right position as a left wing attacking midfielder, Victor Le has almost fully exploited his strengths with 2 goals and 2 assists, including important goals against Ho Chi Minh City Club or HAGL. In particular, after an impressive performance in the U.23 Vietnam team at the friendly tournament in China, the spirit, courage and especially Victor Le have been very different. He plays more confidently, stably and effectively than before.

Another case that is also considered to have made rapid progress in recent times is Ly Cong Hoang Anh - who has started 17/21 matches for the team currently at the top of the V-League, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh. Hoang Anh is also the most impressive midfielder of the team from Thanh Nam with 5 goals and 4 assists up to this point in the V-League. When trusted by coach Vu Hong Viet, the player trained at the Hanoi academy has shone brightly in the last 3 rounds with extremely important goals, helping Nam Dinh make a spectacular breakthrough on the rankings. One goal in the match against Binh Duong at home, a super goal against Hanoi at Hang Day Stadium and most recently a double against Dong A Thanh Hoa Club. Strong in physical qualities, stable in performance and finding a suitable way of playing are the factors that are helping Hoang Anh enter the mature stage of his career. If coach Kim pays attention, this could be a suitable factor to strengthen the steel quality, the ability to compete and collide in the midfield of the Vietnamese team in the near future.

Cong Phuong, Victor Le, Ly Cong Hoang Anh, are all bright faces, who can become quality additions to the Vietnam national team. But of course, they must also be suitable for the viewpoints and philosophies of coach Kim and the national team's coaching staff. In the immediate future, when the V-League or the first division is entering the fierce final stage of the season, the national team and other players should play with all their heart, trying to achieve good form. The national team's door will be open to those who are worthy!
