Coach Anh Duc reveals surprising things about Cong Phuong

On the afternoon of October 19, in the qualifying round of the 2024-2025 National Cup, Binh Phuoc Club defeated Ho Chi Minh City Youth Team with the only goal by Nguyen Cong Phuong. The striker from Nghe An province made a neat shot to make his debut perfect.

In the post-match press conference, head coach Nguyen Anh Duc of Binh Phuoc Club shared: "The first match is always difficult because we need to get into a good rhythm after a period of not playing. The players all tried their best. As for Cong Phuong, he scored and helped the team win 1-0 despite not being in good health due to the flu. Cong Phuong performed well."

On the other side of the front line, Coach Tran Duy Quang did not say much about Cong Phuong's performance. He commented: "He is a national player" as an affirmation of the ability of the Binh Phuoc Club striker. In addition, the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club also highly appreciated the quality of the squad that Coach Anh Duc currently owns.

In this match, coach Kim Sang-sik was also present at Binh Phuoc stadium to watch. Coach Anh Duc excitedly said: "I am very happy that the head coach of the Vietnamese team watched this match. That is the motivation for the players to compete, not to make them feel psychologically disturbed. They have played many times in the V-League, and have been on the national team, so that is the motivation."

With this victory, Binh Phuoc Club will continue in the National Cup and will face HAGL in the round of 16. At that time, Cong Phuong will meet his old team again. Coach Anh Duc also added about this issue: "I haven't thought much about this match because it is still too far away. As for Cong Phuong, he will have a lot of affection for his training place and he has many memories with HAGL. But in professional football, you have to play with your ability, not your emotions. Therefore, I don't think about this issue."
