Cong Phuong has gone abroad 4 times in his career with statistics exposing harsh reality.
On September 15, Nguyen Cong Phuong confirmed his departure from Yokohama FC after nearly 2 years of association, marking the 4th failed move abroad in his career. The striker born in 1995 has been to Mito Hollyhock (Japan, 2016), Incheon United (Korea, 2019), Sint Truidense (Belgium, 2019/2020) and Yokohama FC (2023/2024).
In all 5 seasons playing outside of Vietnam, Cong Phuong did not score any goals, did not have any assists for his teammates to score. He never played the full 90 minutes in an official match. In no season abroad did Cong Phuong start more than 3 matches.
It can be said that the most "successful" time abroad of the striker from Nghe An was when he moved to Incheon United. At this time, Cong Phuong is in very good form in the Vietnam national team, U23 Vietnam and HAGL. He received many positive reviews. Coach Jon Andersen trusted Cong Phuong to play in 8 matches, starting 3 times with a total of 352 minutes.
Overall, Cong Phuong played well in an environment with a professional level superior to that of the V.League at that time. However, when coach Jon Andersen left Incheon United, Cong Phuong was no longer trusted. He returned to Vietnam for a short time and then moved to Sint Truidense.
Cong Phuong’s failure in Europe did not surprise many people. There is no Vietnamese player with enough ability, fitness and adaptability to the football environment of the old continent.
In 2023, Cong Phuong will leave HAGL and once again go abroad to play. Experts expect that when he reaches the peak of his career, the 29-year-old can make a difference. But in his first season, Cong Phuong was only on the field for 1 minute.
This season, Yokohama FC was relegated to J.League 2 but Cong Phuong was still rarely selected. Cong Phuong only had one starting match for Yokohama FC in 20 months.
In May, Cong Phuong played 17 minutes in Yokohama FC's 1-3 loss to Nagoya Grampus in the Japanese National Cup. Last season, he played less than 2 minutes.
However, Cong Phuong's journey abroad shows the player's determination.
