‘Cong Phuong is alone carrying Incheon’, says Korean reporter

Incheon United, the team in the bottom of K.League 2019 rankings is making mortification for themselves. Deong Jaweo reporter believes that Central Forward Nguyen Cong Phuong is performing productively and putting the team on his back.

Deong Jaweo shares: "Incheon United is covering by numerous of matters. Failing against Jeonbuk was not surprising because it is a strong team. Cong Phuong more increasingly plays better.

The biggest problem was that he had to carry the whole team having about 10 injured players who are such key footballers as Moon Chan-jin, Kim Seung-yong, Man Joon-jae, Mugosa,… There is no one give a hand to him although he quickly felt in the line with K. League."

Nguyen Cong Phuong is performing productively and putting the team on his back

Cong Phuong has played 5 matches so far and been the key player in 2 competitions. Coach Jorn Andersen recognized Cong Phuong’s ability and efforts in training, thought that Cong Phuong deserved to leave off the bench and play in the starting line up. However, Cong Phuong lost in the team which had been close-knit for a long time before his coming.

Incheon United being a different world from HAGL club is playing less-creatively with Cliché statics. Cong Phuong’s movement was skillfully yet his teammates either passed in another way or finished the ball on their own rather than giving the opportunity for him.

Cong Phuong was rarely supported by his teammates

Mugosa cannot come back to the field that means Cong Phuong will be present in the starting line-up of Incheon United in the upcoming match with Ulsan Hyundai.

On the other hand, strategist Jorn Andersen needs to change the attacking style to short pass one in order to make full advantage of  Cong Phuong’s technique and his breakthrough ability.

In K. League 2019 Round 7, Incheon United will have a home game against Ulsan Hyundai, the team is leading the way with 4 won, 2 draw matches. It is predicted that it will be a tough game for Cong Phuong’s team.
