Thể Thao 247 - Cong Phuong is still on the strenuous way to seek for an official slot in Incheon’s formation.
Cong Phuong has been played 6 matches in Incheon’s shirt. Although there were times when he created his mark in Incheon’s play style, Cong Phuong did not contribute much for Incheon’s play style.
As an offensive player, Cong Phuong had a series of unconvincing performances with no goal and no assist
Mr. Andersen often used his favorite 4-3-3 formation. However, if there has Cong Phuong on the line-up, the Coach has to take back one central midfielder and change into 4-2-3-1 formation in which Cong Phuong would be the no.10 player.
In the matchday encountering Jeonbuk, Cong Phuong led the offensive line but completely fail against the opponent’s physical defenders. In the match with Ulsan, Cong Phuong replaced for central midfielder Lee Jeong Bin and played in the left wing.
Cong Phuong undertook many positions but there was none of them that he was excellent at.
Cong Phuong’s style is drifting the ball and creating breakthrough by himself. While the tools of the trade of no.10 player is playing comprehensively with a simple way and an embracing pace ability.
Cong Phuong has a limit in his height, his strength and rarely has flexible move to take the crossing and the ball passing through the line when he undertook the center forward mission.
About the wing side, Cong Phuong has not enough physical force to move forward and downward to join the defense. Especially, he has insufficient quality in dispute, which is a tool of the trade of a modern defensive player.
Coach Lim Joong Yong is still seeking for Cong Phuong a suitable spot even though he has worked with the player when he was an assistant coach.
