Vietnam's 2K striker mentions coach Kim Sang Sik when scoring

Forward Pham Gia Hung admits receiving motivation to score when coach Kim Sang Sik attended the match.

The 3-0 victory of Ninh Binh Club over PVF-CAND in round 19 of V.League not only helped the Hoa Lu capital team secure three crucial points, but also marked an impressive performance by forward Pham Gia Hung. The striker born in 2000 opened the scoring, creating a turning point that boosted the home team's morale and concluded the match with a convincing win.

Notably, this match took place under the direct observation of Vietnam's national team head coach, Mr. Kim Sang-sik. The presence of the Korean strategist was seen as a significant source of motivation for Gia Hung. After the match, the young forward acknowledged that having the national team coach watch the game boosted his spirit, making him play with more determination and explosiveness than usual.

Gia Hung shared that the presence of coach Kim Sang-sik gave him extra motivation to strive and showcase his best abilities. He viewed this as a valuable opportunity to prove his capabilities, while affirming he would maintain that spirit in upcoming matches. For this forward, each recognition is a major motivation for career development.

Besides the mental factor, the match against PVF-CAND was also a significant physical challenge as the hot weather posed difficulties for the players. Gia Hung stated it was truly a tough match for him and the whole team. However, in those harsh conditions, the goal-scoring instinct of a forward helped him seize the opportunity to score the breakthrough goal.

The forward from Dak Lak admitted he felt fortunate to contribute to his team's continued winning streak. Despite having a standout performance day, Gia Hung remained appropriately humble. He believes one goal brings only small joy for a forward; more important is stability and long-term contribution to the team.

When asked about his goal-scoring target from now until the season's end, Gia Hung did not set a specific number. Instead of chasing personal achievements, he chooses to focus on each match and daily efforts. According to him, the season is still very long, and the whole team needs to quickly forget this victory to face upcoming challenges, as the most important thing remains the collective success of Ninh Binh Club.
