'Incheon is not suitable for Cong Phuong', Korean journalist says

Cong Phuong inspired to football generations

In K. League Round 6, Incheon United had an away game on Jeonbuk FC's field.

In this match, Cong Phuong continued to appear in the starting lineup. However, the striker was lonely on Incheon’s attack.

SPOTV: “Cong Phuong is more suitable to the tiqui-taca style, while Incheon United likes to use long passing technique. Cong Phuong is clearly inappropriate to the playing style that Coach Andersen applys for Incheon United.

This team always is in a deadlock even though the ball is close to the opponent's penalty area. In fact, Cong Phuong has tried his best, afforted to dispute and move."

In this match, Cong Phuong endeavored to play and to move, continually supported for the defense. However, he did not get aid from his teammates. After 75-minute playing, he was sent out by Coach Andersen.

Coach Andersen shared: “I think it was a tough match for Cong Phuong. He has a lot of physical disadvantages compared to Jeonbuk's defenders. However, he has devoted himself and learned many things from this type of competitions.”

Losing to Jeonbuk FC was the fourth consecutive failure of Incheon United in 2019 K. League. The team just scored 1 goal while conceded 10 goals. At present, Cong Phuong’s team getting 4 points is ranked 11th in the table, higher than Jeju United’s.
