" Cong Phuong did not play much in Japan. I gave him 30 minutes in the match against Hai Phong Club to regain his form, which will give him more motivation for the match against Syria," coach Philippe Troussier said about Nguyen Cong Phuong. This striker will definitely play in the match against Syria.
The head coach of the Vietnamese team added: " Phuong may not play the entire match in the next match, but I will create conditions for him to play at a certain time. I believe he will play his best with his inherent experience ."
Cong Phuong is eager to show his ability if he plays in the next match.
Cong Phuong is one of three players returning from abroad to play for the Vietnamese national team in this training session. He did not play in the match against Hong Kong (China) and was placed in the training group with U23 Vietnam. In the match between U23 Vietnam and Hai Phong Club last weekend, Cong Phuong scored the only goal for his team.
"I'm not young anymore, so when I have the opportunity, I always try my best. Under the new head coach, my team and I will try our best to get used to the new tactics, contribute good matches to the fans and bring back the best results," Cong Phuong said.
Besides Cong Phuong, Mr. Trossier also gave further assessment on the cases of Quang Hai and Van Toan. The head coach of the Vietnamese team was satisfied with the individual performance of these two players.
" I was impressed with Quang Hai. He played the entire match against Hong Kong, he moved more than 10km with high intensity, even though Quang Hai had not played much in France before.
In Van Toan's case, I believe he is also motivated to play in the next match. He is the one with the most advantage as he has played regularly, about 10 matches in Korea. All three players have shown desire and ability. I have no complaints about them ," the 68-year-old coach commented.
The Vietnamese team will face Syria at 7:30 p.m. on June 20 at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh). Coach Troussier set a goal: " Syria will be a challenge that the Vietnamese team needs to overcome and aim for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. We are still in the process of perfecting our playing style and finding the right players for the World Cup qualifiers. The team aims to do our best ."
