At that time, Filip Nguyen could face Indonesia, Iraq and Japan. Before this information, the Indonesian press was concerned about the level of the goalkeeper born in 1992. CNN Indonesia wrote: "Vietnam team strengthens thanks to goalkeeper who played in Europa League".
In the article, the author emphasized: "The Vietnamese team is likely to have more quality additions at the 2023 Asian Cup. They can register the Czech player to participate in this tournament if he completes the naturalization procedure.
The presence of Filip Nguyen will create a new wind for coach Troussier in the goalkeeping position of the Vietnamese team. While playing for Slovan Liberec, Filip Nguyen played in the Europa League in the 2020/2021 season. After that, he continued to play in this tournament in the Slovacko shirt.
In addition to playing in the Europa League, Filip Nguyen also competed in the Europa Conference League. Not only that, he was called up to the Czech Republic national team in September 2020. However, he has not yet worn the European team jersey."

Sino News commented: "Filip Nguyen can become a Vietnamese citizen in December. This goalkeeper is a formidable name, having played for many years in Europe for the clubs Loko Vltavin, SK Union 2013, Vlasim, Slovan Liberec, Slovacko.
In July this year, he returned to Vietnam to play for the Hanoi Police Club. Immediately, Filip Nguyen proved his talent as one of the best goalkeepers in the V-League and contributed to helping the Hanoi Police Club win the tournament.
In the context of Dang Van Lam having difficulty adapting to coach Troussier's tactics and making mistakes that led to the defeat of the Vietnamese team against Iraq, Filip Nguyen has every opportunity to start in the goal of the Vietnamese team.
Suara newspaper is concerned that Filip Nguyen's appearance could cause Indonesia difficulties when facing the Vietnamese team at the 2023 Asian Cup.
According to the schedule, the Vietnamese team will face Indonesia on January 9, 2024. Then, in March 2024, the "Golden Star Warriors" will have two consecutive matches against the team from the archipelago country in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
