French coach impressed with the talent of Cong Phuong’s cousin

In the last match against U19 Binh Duong, coach Guillaume Graechen decided to start Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong. This player is better known as the cousin of striker Nguyen Cong Phuong.

Arranged to play as a central midfielder in place of the senior Hoang Vinh Nguyen, Quoc Cuong had an excellent match.

‘Cong Phuong cousin’ has shown great confidence when confronting players older than him.

With a relatively good body, Quoc Cuong often has situations that teared the opponent's defense, causing defenders U19 Binh Duong to struggle very hard. Besides, he also left a mark when possessing personal techniques, good ball control and smart playing style.

Witnessing the performance of his player, coach Guillaume Graechen hailed Quoc Cuong:

"Cuong has played well. It has been a long time since he played that game in an official match. I gave him a kick to interchange players because I wanted to keep players’ health. We had to play 5 match / 9 days, the density is too thick. Cuong under 17 years old, he played better than his age.”

The excellence of Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong helped U19 HAGL 1 win the right to play the semi-finals. They will be facing U19 SLNA on June 26.

Quoc Cuong still has a lot of time ahead to practice playing football. He still has many opportunities to express himself in the U.19 HAGL shirt in the future to accumulate more experience in the match and gradually become a mainstay of the mountain town team.
