'The Vietnamese team needs Filip Nguyen': expert Quang Huy

Filip Nguyen is trying to complete legal procedures to get Vietnamese citizenship. The 28-year-old says he is only one step away from completing the job. If the progress is right, Filip Nguyen can participate in the international tournaments of Vietnam in 2021.

Commentator Quang Huy shared: “Filip Nguyen is an excellent goalkeeper, honored many times in the Czech National Championship. This is a tournament with good quality of expertise, the Slovan Liberec team is also in the top of the strong teams in this tournament.

Filip Nguyen has many advantages, he is well trained, playing in a professional football environment for many years. More importantly, this player has repeatedly expressed his desire to wear the Vietnamese team. An excellent player with such a heart towards the country is something to appreciate."

Currently, Dang Van Lam is still a good choice for Mr. Park, but football is always growing and needs competition to develop. I believe Filip Nguyen is very necessary for the Vietnamese team, he is also learning Vietnamese and will soon integrate.

Filip Nguyen also spoke up about having to compete with Dang Van Lam for the main start of the Vietnamese team. The Czech-born goalkeeper understands this is not easy, he also has great respect for the talent of his colleague.

The goalkeeper just had a breakthrough in his career when he joined Slovan Liberec in the Europa League season 2020-21. He also denied the possibility of returning to the V-League to play, instead Filip Nguyen's desire to play in the Bundesliga.
