Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam's representative shocked everyone by publicly criticizing Nguyen Filip as 'worst in the match'

It is rare for a player's agent to publicly attack his client's teammates or position rivals. Therefore, the comments of Andrey Grushin - known as Dang Van Lam's agent - surprised fans.

" Nguyen Filip could not save the Vietnamese team in this debut match. What he showed did not match the praise before the match ," Andrey Grushin - the representative of goalkeeper Dang Van Lam wrote on social media last night, a few hours after the match between the Vietnamese team and Japan.

The Vietnamese team lost to the Japanese team.

Vietnam lost in the 11th minute with a goal by Takumi Minamino. After that, Dinh Bac and Tuan Hai scored consecutively and helped Vietnam take the lead. However, Minamino and Keito Nakamura scored twice and helped the Japanese team come back. In the 85th minute, Ayase Ueda scored a tricky shot in the penalty area and sealed a 4-2 victory for Japan.

In fact, Nguyen Filip made a mistake in the first goal. He came out to catch the ball incorrectly, but that was not necessarily the direct error that led to the goal. The opportunity came to Minamino when the ball bounced off another player's shot.

Nguyen Filip had a good match with a few notable saves. The three goals conceded came from excellent situations of the Japanese strikers and were very difficult for the 1992-born goalkeeper to save.

Nguyen Filip made his debut for the Vietnam national team.

Mr. Andrey Grushin analyzed: " For the first time in history, the Vietnamese team scored 2 goals against the Japanese team but lost 4 goals. If the goalkeeper could help more, with this situation, the Vietnamese team could have tied with Japan ."

This person believes that Nguyen Filip is the weakest link of the Vietnamese team. Mr. Andrey Grushin cited evidence from the scoreboard of Sofascore. This football statistics site gave Nguyen Filip a score of 6 - the lowest score of all the players on the field. On the opposite side, goalkeeper Suzuki also received a very low score of 6.2 with a poor catch in the second goal.

" I always hope the Vietnamese team wins. If my client can play and contribute to the Vietnamese team, I will be very happy. If he is absent for any reason, it's okay, the interests of the team must be put first," Andrey Grushin wrote.

Mr. Grushin’s comments received mixed reactions. Many fans said that this move was not suitable for the professional football environment, and could even affect the fans’ view of Dang Van Lam.

In fact, Van Lam did not attend the Asian Cup due to injury. If this goalkeeper participated, he and Nguyen Filip would be teammates and the offensive comments directed at Nguyen Filip from Van Lam's representative are clearly inappropriate.
