Receiving sad news from Japan, Cong Phuong can return to Vietnam to compete

In the 33rd round of the Japanese championship, Yokohama FC lost 0-1 at home to their direct competitor for the relegation spot, Shonan Bellmare. This defeat pushed Yokohama FC to the brink of relegation.

With only one round left in the season, Yokohama FC is at the bottom of the table with 29 points, 3 points behind the safe zone and also far behind in goal difference (-26 vs -14). It can be affirmed that Cong Phuong's club will be 99% relegated. Because even if they win by a big margin against the strong team Kashima Antlers in the final round, they are not sure to escape relegation.

This is sad news for Cong Phuong and Yokohama FC because the club has just won the right to play in the Japanese championship this season. Cong Phuong signed a 3-year contract with Yokohama FC at the beginning of the season but has not played a single match in the Japanese national championship.

After joining Yokohama FC, Cong Phuong set a goal of playing 25 matches, but in reality, he only played for 2 minutes in the match against Nagoya Grampus in the Japan League Cup on April 5.

Not being used in Yokohama FC has caused Cong Phuong to lose his place in the Vietnam national team. In the context of the Japanese club being relegated, Cong Phuong can consider returning to Vietnam to play in the hope of returning to the national team.

Not long ago, Football Tribe (Japan) advised the player born in 1995 to return to Vietnam to save his career. This newspaper wrote: "Cong Phuong is at the ripe age of his career but has not played much. Fans think that this player should give up his dream of playing football in Japan and return to play in the V-League as soon as possible."
