Cong Phuong's dream is broken
Returning to Vietnam after an unsuccessful trip abroad to Japan, Cong Phuong decided to choose Binh Phuoc , a lower-ranked team, to find himself before returning to the V-League.
Cong Phuong's choice was not wrong, as the Southeast team, in addition to its ambition to be promoted to V-League, also guarantees the Nghe An striker financial and treatment.
According to calculations, the striker who was once indispensable in the Vietnamese national team will only play in the First Division for 1 season, then join Binh Phuoc to compete at the top level in the V-League.
But, in the end, that plan fell through after Cong Phuong and Binh Phuoc lost to Da Nang in the play-off match a few days ago.
The door to return to the Vietnamese team is very narrow.
Binh Phuoc continues to play in the First Division, which means Cong Phuong has to play in an environment with low intensity, low competition, and limited field conditions, making it difficult to regain the peak form that fans expect.
The gap in expertise between the V-League and the First Division is not a new story, and in fact what happened in the match between Da Nang and Binh Phuoc showed that, when Cong Phuong's team still appeared weaker than their opponent.
In addition, for a player who has turned 30 like Cong Phuong, it is a bit difficult to ensure continuous shining, while the Vietnamese team under coach Kim Sang Sik is looking for new faces, eager and with stable performance in the highest tournament.
The door to returning to the Vietnamese national team is certainly not closed for Cong Phuong, but to open it, the striker from Nghe An needs a real breakthrough to surpass himself and his current limitations.
It can be said that Cong Phuong's value will only be truly shown once he can do what he missed in this year's tournament: inspire Binh Phuoc to be present in the highest level of Vietnamese football.
