Every year, J-League players are often asked to share their goals for the club to write on their resume.

In Japan, each J-League 1 team can play a minimum of 41 matches and a maximum of 49 matches in three domestic tournaments, nearly twice as many as in Vietnam.
According to Hamablue newspaper, 2023 is a difficult year for Yokohama FC after being promoted.
Yesterday, March 8, Cong Phuong was on the registration list for an official match for the first time since moving to Yokohama FC in the J-League Cup, but could not enter the field.
Coach Shuhei Yomoda is having a difficult start with Yokohama FC with three losses and one draw.
Coach Shuhei Yomoda admitted that it is impossible to give all 39 players opportunities in J-League 1. He believes that the J-League Cup will be a place to attract players who rarely play, and those who perform well will be able to participate.
For players with few names on the competition registration list like Phuong, Coach Yomoda will create tension and stimulation equivalent to matches through practice.
Currently, Yokohama FC is ranked last in J-League 1 with one point after three rounds, one of six teams without a win.
