Tran Phi Son: 'Cong Phuong and I have a strange understanding with each other through every step’

With the ambition to overthrow Hanoi's dominance in V.League, Ho Chi Minh has brought a lot of quality signings this season such as Vo Huy Toan, Bui Tien Dung, ... and the most prominent is Nguyen Cong Phuong.

Nghe An-born striker has integrated very quickly with the general play of the city. HCM. The combination between Cong Phuong - Phi Son has contributed to putting Chung Hae Seong's team leading in both the AFC Cup and V.League.

After 6 matches in the new shirt, Cong Phuong has got 3 goals, along with a very significant contribution to the attacking line of HCMC FC.

Explaining the combination with the younger teammate, Tran Phi Son shared:

"Phuong and I have always been very straightforward and open to talk about issues on the pitch, I think that helped us to play comfortably and sublimate. I'm happy for Phuong’s return.

Between me and Phuong there is a strange understanding, a very good connection, so we easily understand each other on the pitch through every step of running, moving. I think it's fortunate that a teammate understands what I means. I personally think that Phuong and I will exchange more with each other to help the team play well. "

Captain of the City Club also highly appreciates the skills of Cong Phuong when returning from Europe:

"Everybody knows how good Phuong is, I personally appreciate Cong Phuong's ability because we have been teammates at the club level before. But Son can see the difference in his mindset as well.

He plays more simply, more effectively and is more refined. That, I think you can also see in the past matches. It can be said that going to many places, playing with good teammates is one thing that many Vietnamese players can experience.

And indeed, it was those days of overseas competition that helped Phuong become more mature. I think that is good for Cong Phuong himself and for the City Club."

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has not returned to the army after discharge one month ago. V.League continues to delay indefinitely. Recently, the AFC Cup also announced the postponement of matches taking place in the next 2 months to ensure safety during the Covid-19 epidemic.
