Ho Chi Minh City FC player Vo Huy Toan has just shared information that striker Nguyen Cong Phuong is in Vietnam. The former Hoang Anh Gia Lai striker stopped by Huy Toan's family to visit. The two are close friends but have not seen each other for a long time.
Cong Phuong and Huy Toan each played for the U23 Vietnam team in the 2015 SEA Games, the 2016 U23 Asian Cup finals and the 2017 SEA Games. During the time Cong Phuong played (on loan) for Ho Chi Minh City FC, Huy Toan also had the opportunity to play alongside his friend.

Cong Phuong's return to Vietnam at this time is receiving special attention from fans. Previously, on December 3, Yokohama FC received a ticket to J-League 2, making the future of the Nghe An striker becoming uncertain.
If he stays, Cong Phuong may have to continue to "sit around doing nothing" like he has for nearly a year. The player born in 1995 has not played a single minute in J-League 1, only appearing for 2 minutes in the match against Nagoya Grampus in the Japanese League Cup on April 5.
At this time, the decision to return home needs to be made by Cong Phuong soon, when Hoang Anh Gia Lai and some other teams are very interested in him. Even the opportunity for Cong Phuong to return to the Vietnam national team is still intact, because in fact, he is still one of the capable strikers.
Cong Phuong has two years left on his contract with Yokohama FC. If he stays, this will be the second time the Nghe An striker plays in J-League 2 (previously he played for Mito Hollyhock in 2016).
In case he returns home, Cong Phuong can completely return to Hoang Anh Gia Lai or join some V-League teams that are very interested in him.
