Filip Nguyen hopes to soon have Vietnamese citizenship to attend the Asian Cup

"The dream of playing for the Vietnamese national team is one of the reasons that motivated me to move to the V-League to play. The Czech Republic national team currently has too many excellent goalkeepers and it is very difficult for me to have a chance there," Filip Nguyen told a Czech newspaper.

"However, in Vietnam, I will have citizenship in the next few months. I realize that I can meet the coach's requirements and am ready to devote my best to the Vietnam national team," the goalkeeper born in 1992 expressed his desire to play for the "Golden Star Warriors".

Previously, during the introduction of Hanoi Police, Filip Nguyen was also very confident in affirming that he would complete the procedures in time to be able to compete in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and 2023 Asian Cup if he was called up to the national team by Coach Troussier.

Filip Nguyen has repeatedly expressed his desire to play for the Vietnam National Team.

In addition, Filip Nguyen said that, apart from Van Lam, there are not many goalkeepers in the V.League with ideal height to play football in Europe: "There is a goalkeeper of the Vietnamese national team who is almost as tall as me (Van Lam-PV). He has played in both Japan and Thailand. But in the V-League, goalkeepers have a more modest physique, usually 1m75. In the match between Hanoi Police and Da Nang, the goalkeeper of the Da Nang team played very well with many excellent saves. However, height is a limitation that will make it difficult for these goalkeepers to play in Europe."

Besides professional issues, Filip Nguyen did not forget to express his impression of the enthusiasm of Vietnamese fans: "Vietnamese people are very passionate about football.cdriveDdynamicYes"We often come in large numbers to watch pre-match training sessions. We always have trouble getting to the stadium, because everyone wants to take pictures and get autographs from the players. Before the match, too, the police have to set up barriers and tighten security so we can get into the stadium."

At present, Filip Nguyen has had 2 main matches for Hanoi Police since returning to play football in Vietnam. However, luck has not smiled on Filip Nguyen when his home team lost 2 consecutive matches in V.League and National Cup with the same score of 0-1.
