With no time to play in Japan, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong is unlikely to be called up to the Vietnam national team by coach Kim Sang Sik in the upcoming training session. The Vietnam national team is expected to have two quality friendly matches in September, against Russia (September 5) and Thailand (September 10). Both of these matches, if played, could be played at My Dinh Stadium. According to the plan, coach Kim Sang Sik announced the list, the Vietnam national team will gather at the end of August. The "Golden Star Warriors" will have 5-6 days of training before playing the first friendly match in the September FIFA Days. Right now, many people are very interested in the list of the Vietnam national team. Especially in the case of Cong Phuong, will this striker have the opportunity to be introduced to the Korean captain?

However, it is very difficult for Cong Phuong to catch the eye of coach Kim Sang Sik. The reason is that this player is still only on the bench, not even registered to play at Yokohama FC. Previously, also because of little playing time, the striker born in 1995 was not given the opportunity by coach Troussier to return home to play for the national team. According to the schedule, Yokohama FC will have matches against Thespakusatsu (August 17) and Tokushima (August 24) in J-League 2. This will be the last chance for Cong Phuong to score points with coach Kim Sang Sik. But he is likely to continue to be "abandoned" at the Japanese team.

With the goal of promotion, coach Shuhei Yomoda almost never uses a player with poor form and average skills like Cong Phuong. The opportunity only comes to the player from Nghe An when Yokohama FC plays in the cup or in friendly matches. As for coach Kim Sang Sik, it is likely that the Korean strategist still trusts the old faces in the Vietnam team to play 2 matches against the Philippines and Iraq in June. Because the professional football tournaments in Vietnam have not taken place yet, it is difficult for coach Kim to find new players for the team.
