First-class football is just right.

Of course, besides professional matters, financial considerations were another important reason that prompted Cong Phuong to leave Yokohama FC (Japan) and return to Vietnam. Many sources indicate that Cong Phuong received a very high salary at his new club.

Leaving aside financial considerations, Công Phượng's decision to play in the First Division instead of the V-League is professionally suitable for him at this time. Nearly two years without playing for Yokohama FC has undoubtedly significantly affected his form, ball control, and fitness. Only official matches allow players worldwide to adjust to these issues. Without regular playing time in official leagues, players will not know their current form, ball control, and fitness levels.

Cong Phuong had an unsuccessful period playing for Yokohama FC.

Lacking the aforementioned qualities, it will be difficult for Cong Phuong to find a place in V-League teams, and very difficult for him to break into the starting lineup. Unfortunately, if he returns to Vietnam without playing, his situation will be no different from when he played for Yokohama FC.

Cong Phuong made the right choice for himself by choosing to join a club in the First Division. The First Division has a lower level of competition compared to the V-League, and the level of competition within each team and among players within the same team is also lower.

There won't be many star players in the First Division teams (except for Phu Dong Ninh Binh ), nor will there be any foreign players in this league, so it's highly likely that Cong Phuong could play as a striker in the First Division if he completes his contract with a First Division team, as recently reported.

The most important thing for Cong Phuong right now is to play. He needs to play to regain his form, gradually recover his skills, and readjust his ball control and physical fitness.

Cong Phuong will return to Vietnam to play in the near future.

Who knows, in the next few months, if Cong Phuong's fitness improves and his form gets better, he might be given the opportunity to play for the national team. Regardless, Cong Phuong remains a very special talent in Vietnamese football; he has the ability to control the ball, dribble, and his dribbling skills disrupt opposing defenses, creating space for his teammates. These are all qualities that the Vietnamese national team will need. But that's a matter for the future; for now, Cong Phuong just needs to play, he just needs to get regular playing time in the First Division.
