'Cong Phuong failed because coach Sint-Truiden did not know how to use people' 10
Assessing the cause of Cong Phuong’s failure in Belgium, reader Roseminh7775 comments that the big mistake lies not in the Nghe striker but in the leadership ability of Sint-Truiden’s coaching staff:
`Exactly like this: Cong Phuong’s weakness is that he rarely retreats to support the defense. A player’s natural talent and football mindset are very difficult to change, but if a coach is good, they will know how to do so.
To be fair, with the qualifications and seasoned competition of a national player who was once the hope of millions of Vietnamese fans, he is not qualified to play in the youth team of a Belgian club.
Sharing the same opinion as above, reader Lephong5770 emphasized the role of the head coach of the Belgian team in deciding the player’s success or failure: `The reason given is not very convincing. Is it because Cong Phuong can’t do anything or is it because the coach loves him?`
Besides, reader Vo Ngoc Hung affirmed that Cong Phuong cannot be blamed for not being able to shine and play defense as requested by coach Sint-Truiden:
`Those who understand football will never blame Cong Phuong. Whether a player’s position is suitable or not depends on the head coach. The position of Thailand’s Chatnathip or Bunanthan easily shines, while the position of Cong Phuong
Strikers are an inherent weakness of Vietnamese football in particular and Asian football in general.
Before criticizing Cong Phuong, let’s review the decisive goals this player has scored for Vietnam at all levels.
