Thể Thao 247 - Korean Press believes that Mr. Andersen conservatively using rookies is the main factor making Incheon go through a critical time and Cong Phuong can not boost his ability.
At the beginning of season 2019, Incheon United surprisingly launched a new troop – Nguyen Cong Phuong. Korean press highly appreciates Coach Jorn Andersen’s foresight in the way he exploits the Vietnamese player’s talent.
However, after 6 stages in K. League 2019, Korean newspapers have changed over their opinion and began to critic the Norwegians Coach. Chung Joon Park straightly assesses Mr. Andersen as a conservative Coach.
Chosun wrote: “In this tough time, changes and testing would be the best solution for Incheon. However, Mr. Andersen is a diehard in using personnel. He nine times out of ten say no with changing his mind. The coach believes in the older players rather than the new factors’ surprise."
The Vietnamese striker was always like a fish out of the water in the team
Cong Phuong was one of the new team member given a chance in Incheon United. However, the less-science strategy of Coach Andersen unintentionally eliminates Cong Phuong’s potentiality. The Vietnamese striker was always like a fish out of the water in the team.
Korean journalists think that Cong Phuong did not have an opportunity to show all his abilities because of the absences of 2 creative midfielders in Incheon. These players being the key troops of Incheon United in 2018 season are Moon Seon-min contributing 14 goals, 6 assists and Elías Aguilar chalking up 3 points for the team.
Gaining one victory and one draw matches in the first round, Coach Jorn Andersen’s side consecutively lost 4 games against Sangju Sangmu, Suwon Bluewings, Daegu, and Jeonbuk Motors. The poor result takes down Cong Phuong’s team to the lowest position of the K. League 2019 rankings.
