The match between Incheon United and Deagu in round 5 K-League marked an important milestone in Cong Phuong’s career. Since he first left for Korea, this is the first time he has appeared on the starting lineup with full 90 minutes playing. Yet his efforts proved unavailing after Incheon defeat.

Recently, Sport Seoul’s journalist Jeong-da revealed his story of facing stress when coming here. The reporter said, he was unpleasant and stressed everytime he had to answer the quick interview’s questions followed Broadcast’s requirement.

The reporter also said, Cong Phuong woul be fined if he denied answering it, he responded, “I would rather be fined than answer that. I don’t hate interview, but I feel stress when facing the camera, that should be the time to think of the game”

Being under a lot of pressure, Cong Phuong still tried his best every day to blend in with the team as well as his new life here.

He trained hard and attempted to fight, and agreed to join interviews. Those effort helped the 23-year-old received praise from his coach and the acknowledgement of Korea.

In the next round, Cong Phuong’s side will face a bigger challenge of facing an away match against Jeonbuk on their home pitch. Hope that Cong Phuong will have a chance to shine for better result.
