Cong Phuong Nguyen became the first Vietnamese player to play in the Belgian League - Jupiler Pro League. He has 20 minutes of playing in the Sint-Truidense V.V match (STVV), losing to Club Brugge to 0-6 in the early morning of August 3 (Vietnam time).
Cong Phuong Nguyen came on in the 70th minute to replace De Bruyn. At the time of replacing this person, Cong Phuong became the first Vietnamese player to officially play in the Belgian Championship - Jupiler Pro League. When Cong Phuong appeared, BLV Belgium was surprised and briefly introduced: "This guy named Messi Vietnam".
However, this is not a perfect memory for the 24-year-old striker. He came in when STVV was 0-4 ahead. Club Brugge is a very strong Belgian team, belonging to the "giants" with Anderlecht, Standard Liege and Genk.
The difference between the two sides makes STVV almost impossible to attack. The yellow shirt players play sporadically and often lose the ball. Cong Phuong's 20 minutes on the field did not leave many imprints, he did not have many balls, could not find a connection with his teammates around. Therefore, the first time playing in the Belgian League - Jupiler Pro League with Cong Phuong seems to just let him feel the atmosphere of a match.
This match belongs to the second round of the Belgian League Season 2019/2020. This is the most isolated result since the beginning of the season. After two matches, STVV lost all, has not scored any goals and conceded 7 times. Most likely, STVV will finish the second round with the bottom of the rankings.
