Nguyen Cong Phuong will be the top free kick taker of the Vietnam team.

(NLDO) - Called up to the Vietnam national team after more than a year of absence, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong promises to bring "super products" of high-class free kicks.

Before deciding to play in Japan, Nguyen Cong Phuong was famous for his successful free kicks in the V-League as well as in the Vietnamese national team.

In the 2024-2025 National First Division, the Nghe An striker also presented 3 "super products" out of a total of 7 goals for Binh Phuoc Club.

From a distance of about 25m from the opponent's goal, the player from the HAGL "furnace" often draws curves with unpredictable trajectories, sending the ball past the dense wall of people, straight into the far corner, tearing the goalkeeper's net and bringing home a wonderful goal.

Cong Phuong is leading the list of "Top scorers" of the National First Division this season. After 18 rounds, Binh Phuoc Club is also getting closer to the ticket to the play-off for promotion to V-League when it is 7 points ahead of the 3rd team in the rankings despite having played one more match.

Cong Phuong will show off his skillful free kick skills when he returns to the Vietnam national team.

The striker born in 1995 performed excellently in the domestic tournament and convinced coach Kim Sang-sik to return to the Vietnamese national team, preparing for FIFA Days in June 2025, playing the second round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Reaching his peak form, Cong Phuong will likely be the center of the team's attacking play with his flexible movement, effective acceleration, and diverse, dangerous finishing.

In addition, he also showed a sharp creative vision, with 3 assists in the First Division.

"I always try my best and be serious in every training session. If I get to play, I will give everything I have to the team. Returning to the Vietnam team is an opportunity for me to respond to the trust of the coaching staff and fans" - Nguyen Cong Phuong shared his feelings when he decided to be called up to the Vietnam team for the first time under coach Kim Sang-sik.

According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will gather from May 30 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center ( Hanoi ) and play the second match of Group F, facing host Malaysia in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup on June 10.
